151. Simple Video Strategy That Works with Daniel Borba

On this episode of Mastering eCommerce Marketing, Eitan Koter chats with Daniel Borba, the CEO of Spark Portal. His company helps brands turn video content into a tool that brings in leads, builds relationships, and helps close deals.

Daniel has been working in video for a long time and shares what really moves the needle. They talk about using video to meet your audience where they are, how to avoid focusing too much on production quality, and why videos need to be built around real problems, not just products.

He also explains how Spark Portal moved away from project-based work and into ongoing partnerships with clients, helping them learn what actually works over time.

If you’ve ever wondered why some videos perform and others don’t, this episode will make it clearer.
