How and When to Use Video Messaging at Work
Unlike a video meeting, video messaging doesn’t require your recipient to be present to consume your message.

How Brandwatch Uses Video to Build Remote Work Culture
Video is key to creating a communication-centric work environment. This is especially true at Brandwatch, where we are transitioning from global offices where everyone came to a physical workplace to being a remote work-optimized culture.

Fundraising for startups has always been difficult, but doing so during the global COVID-19 pandemic has added a new dimension of challenges.

Humans, by nature, are visual learners. In fact, almost 90% of all the information our brains process is visual.

We decided to run an experiment to increase conversions for one of our pre-sale efforts using video. Here’s the […]
Quick Tips From Loommates: How I Use Video to Collaborate on Web Animations
From adding dynamism to an onboarding flow to providing delightful interactions, animations are a powerful tool that can be functional, entertaining, and core to brand identity.

Best Practices for Recording Your Remote Pitch Deck
I recently tuned into a virtual pitch competition featuring two startups I’m familiar with. I’d seen their pitches in person before the pandemic, so I was especially excited to see how they’d translate in a virtual format. Sadly, my enthusiasm didn’t last long. These otherwise dynamic presentations came across sloppily online for two reasons: The […]
How Doopoll Converted 2.13% More Users By Sending Welcome Videos Via Loom
When people say that “time is money,” what they usually mean is that they don’t have the time to interact in the way only humans can: with warmth, empathy, and attention.
