Video PR for Authors, Speakers, and Creators: Stand Out in a Crowded Market

How to Use Video Press Releases to Build Visibility, Authority, and Demand

In today’s saturated creator economy, it’s not enough to simply write a book, launch a course, or book a stage. You have to make noise—the kind that gets you seen, shared, and talked about.

Enter: Video PR—your secret weapon for building instant credibility, capturing attention, and turning your personal brand into media-worthy news.

Whether you’re an author launching your latest book, a speaker looking to land more paid events, or a content creator building your brand—video press releases can help you break through the noise and position yourself as a thought leader in your space.

🎯 Why Video PR Works for Personal Brands

Traditional PR can be dry. Long-form written press releases might explain your story—but they don’t show your personality, voice, or energy. That’s where video wins.

Video PR allows you to:

  • Showcase your presence and message

  • Visually demonstrate your brand and audience appeal

  • Get media attention by standing out from text-based submissions

  • Create content you can reuse across social media, your website, and event pages

👤 Who This Works For

Video press releases aren’t just for corporations—they’re ideal for:

  • Authors launching a new book or promoting a bestseller

  • Public speakers announcing tours, TEDx talks, or keynote opportunities

  • Course creators and coaches launching a program

  • YouTubers, podcasters, and content creators looking to grow influence

  • Experts releasing new data, frameworks, or media-worthy insights

🎥 What to Include in Your Video Press Release

Ideal Length: 60–90 seconds
Tone: Personal, clear, and confident (not salesy)

Structure:

  1. Hook – Start strong (“I wrote this book to answer the question no one else would ask…”)

  2. Who you are – Brief credibility booster (author, coach, keynote speaker, etc.)

  3. Your announcement – New release, course, milestone, or speaking tour

  4. Why it matters – Tie your work to a broader trend, need, or cause

  5. Call to action – Direct media to your site, press kit, or booking info

✍️ Script Example for an Author

“Hi, I’m Dr. Rachel Li, bestselling author and mental wellness speaker.
This month, I’m releasing my latest book Burnout Cure, a science-backed guide for professionals reclaiming their peace.
It’s already generating buzz among therapists, HR leaders, and wellness influencers.
I wrote this book after coaching over 1,000 high-performers struggling in silence—and I knew the world needed a reset.
The book is now available through Amazon, and I’m booking interviews and appearances to talk about it.
Media inquiries and speaking opportunities are welcome at RachelLiWellness.com.”
