Topic: Video Communications: Show What You Can Do

Speaker: Jonathan Staples – J Motion

..............................................

Overview:

As the web matures, organisations are scrambling to add video content to their sites but many don’t know where to start or how to achieve an effective result. This informative presentation is aimed at getting the audience to avoid the traps and switch on to the opportunities of using video as a communications tool.

Until recently, the use of video as a communications tool was strictly the preserve of the major brands who could afford a TV ad campaign. But digital technology has revolutionised the cost of video production while broadband has led to a surge in demand for engaging and effective video content.

Jonathan Staples has a 20-year background in broadcasting which began at BBC Radio Oxford, leading on to Radio 4, BFBS, LBC Radio, ITN and Bloomberg Television.

During his journalist days at LBC he worked alongside a stellar line-up of presenters including Angela Rippon, Michael Parkinson, Frank Bough and Trevor MacDonald. Later, his on-air work at ITN led to voiceover contracts on some of the biggest TV ad campaigns of the late 1990s.

Jonathan’s personal experience of the big budgets involved in TV advertising led to the idea of offering the talents of a team of professional broadcasters direct to clients, by-passing the traditional route of using an ad agency. At the same time, the digital revolution slashed the cost of video production while the web and DVD offer new ways of reaching an audience.

But why use video anyway?

During a highly entertaining talk – illustrated by a selection of vintage TV commercials – Jonathan will explain the benefits as well as the common pitfalls of choosing video as an effective communications medium.
