    We all have video capability on our cameras and phones, and so few of us are leveraging
    it for marketing or sales. It’s a bit of a wall to scale, actually,

    Learn HOW to set up your camera for the best video quality,
    and how to seamlessly shoot engaging video clips and
    tell the story naturally. Leveraging motion is the key
    to modern marketing. (And it is the best way make your
    clients look like savvy millennials, no matter what their age!)

    of a company, the ability to show personality, authenticity
    and core values [hopefully with an entertaining flair] is vital!
