Many experts are predicting that 2015 will be the “Year of Video” and PRSA Tampa Bay is ready. Do you know we have nearly 30 videos posted on our YouTube channel and have had a channel for three years now?
You can find it at www.YouTube.com/PRSATampaBay, and I encourage you to check it regularly. The channel includes a variety of on-the-scene meeting highlights as well as informative sound bites and interviews with fellow PRSA Tampa Bay members.
Video is a compelling format for grabbing attention in a world that has become overrun by messages. It enables storytelling in a concise, personal manner that viewers enjoy. The medium is so popular that there are currently over 4 BILLION downloads on YouTube every day! (I wonder how many of those are cat videos?)
Since it’s becoming clear that the use of video in storytelling is increasingly becoming a necessity for communications professionals, this year, PRSA Tampa Bay is focused on developing more effective video communications tools to engage our members and attract new members. The digital communications committee, which web, social media, newsletter and video communications, is working hard to develop a plan to support all of our committees in developing the storytelling tools necessary to keep members up-to-date on news and events.
If you would like to volunteer your time and talent to supporting development of our YouTube channel or other digital communications, we would welcome your help! Please email digital communications chair Kimberly Polacek, APR, at [email protected] for more information.
Additionally, if you are interested in appearing on the other side of the camera in one of our PRSA Tampa Bay Member Spotlights, please visit http://prsatampabay.org/form.php?form_id=15&c=1 to complete the questionnaire, and we will be in touch to schedule your video shoot.
We hope to have you on or behind the camera soon!
