Get Noticed! Send a text.In this episode, I have the pleasure to interview Andrew Clark, a partner in Asia Works and former journalist at the BBC and CNN who now makes award-winning videos for clients including Rolls Royce and Unicef from their offices in in Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok and Beijing. We met on a plane ride in 1997 from Singapore to Phuket - he had so much kit with him it started a conversation and a life long friendship.We discuss how his clients are using video for their public relations and education programs, the impact of handheld camera clips, if we should be using a green screen when we make our own videos, and some professional accessories any budding producer should have.Remember that video can be very powerful, but doesn't have to cost a lot.Some case studies which worked:JetBlue came up with a video idea to make such a baby-crying flight a win-win for everyone involved. JetBlue’s promotion of the video on their Facebook page has garnered over 1.3 millions, and it’s been seen over 1.6 million times on YouTubeI mention our work with AsiaWorks for Brompton Bicycles. The Overnight Brompton 100KM Ride around Singapore, on 20 January 2018, is a community event held by local owners with the support of the local retail agent. The Brompton UK company contracted EASTWEST Public Relations to make a video of the event and to share that on social channels including our own and the local clubs promoted the video via their social channels including Facebook and Twitter.
