Webinar Summary
This Office Hours webinar features short case studies with three firms who are using Synthesis Native Video to tell their firm’s story, albeit in very different ways.
Kimberly McVicker from Dewberry, Emre Goktay from Diamond Schmitt Architects, and Donovan Helminiak from KTGY each picked a high-performing video from their Synthesis intranet and took us behind the scenes.
You will learn:
What types of video content these firms produce
How a high-performing video is produced and shared
What each firm considers “high-performing” when it comes to video
If you only have a few minutes, we recommend jumping to one or all of our three featured stories:
Pancake House @ KTGY (06:23)
