Pssst...It’s no secret that videos have become the most popular choice for content consumption today.
Did you know, as of 2022, the average person is predicted to spend 100 minutes per day watching online videos. So why not take advantage of that in Digital Marketing. I have experience with many forms of video content, from creating stories, award applications, to developing existing content. From utilising keynote speakers and conference content and creating it into usable and digestible content. I know how and when to use video, animated video, fun boomerangs and GIF.
Collaborating with the Marketing Manager and Videographer we created the award winning video for "At the Heart of Our City: Strategic Framework for Children and Young People in Porirua." which highlighted the strategy put together by the Principal Advisor for Children and Young People.
