Welcome to the video first world

Today, people want to watch and listen, not read - both at home and at work. Video has been proven to drive higher engagement and retention vs text - yet it has been complex and challenging to scale. As a result, companies struggle with a forced tradeoff, sacrificing either:

• time and money with traditional video, or

• engagement with text-based docs and presentations.

Until now…
