Enhancing Corporate Communications with Video

Yvo Verbeek Learning Consultant Digital, Achmea

“We set ourselves to deliver professional video productions and live broadcasts from our studio over the Internet. Technical solutions had to be efficient, scalable, and easy to use, from the bank’s Norwegian head office in Trondheim, and with the possibility of remote control from other locations. The TriCaster and NDI setup for our studio has proven to be a very flexible solution in producing and broadcasting live from several of the bank’s locations. With NDI HX, we have put in place a setup that is both cost-effective in terms of bandwidth and user-friendly, which were important factors for us in choosing technical solutions The benefits of TriCaster and NDI as a technology platform for our studio rig have primarily been on the network and infrastructure side. Several boxes for handling signal conversion and transitions between different devices have now been replaced with a production system that connects everything in a seamless experience. We now only need to connect our PCs to the production system with a simple cable, and everything works.” Anders Oskar Bråthen Commercial Transformation Lead, Danske Bank

“With everyone working from home, there was an imperative to create more complex and engaging live streams with feeds coming in from all over the place. For example, we have a CEO coming into our studio to address his company as part of a live-stream event. It is far better – for reasons of sustainability and practicality – to do this than have 2,000 people travel to a conference hall. We have also used it to deliver numerous events for Fujitsu, which is one of the largest technology brands in the world. The days of getting people to travel into the capital so much are at an end, I think; there is a new world and environment that we all need to think about. Live streaming is here to stay, and we are still doing a lot of streaming events. We were very happy with the TriCaster Mini, so buying a TriCaster 2 Elite was a logical next step. It’s proven to be incredibly versatile for the wide range of projects that we work on; it’s really the perfect solution for us. It’s a very comprehensive piece of kit; whether you are doing a podcast, a vodcast, broadcast TV, or corporate productions, it puts on all those different hats very well! It’s robust, versatile, and a ‘safe pair of hands’ that can handle any production. We couldn’t do what we do, without the TriCaster.” Richard Landy Founder and Managing Director, Broadley Studio

“Covid hit and TissueTech’s national sales convention was going to be cancelled. But the price to go virtual was astronomical. It was six figures. But I told them I could do the meeting for half that price. And that’s exactly what I did. Vizrt was really my only option. I knew we had remote presenters. I knew we had green screen. I knew it was three days. I knew we had to piggyback two separate sets, sometimes with the same feed, sometimes with two separate feeds. Using two TriCasters gave us the power of an entire production truck that would have cost a small fortune to rent for a 3 days event. Everything had to work right. Given how complex the set-up was for these meetings, TriCaster was the perfect choice. We actually had one case where two doctors simultaneously shared a slide deck. They traded back and forth while they were 2,000 miles away from one another and it all worked flawlessly. We also had to come up with a background that incorporated all the glitz and glamour of a Hollywood awards show. And thanks to Vizrt’s NDI technology, each of the award-winners were able to give an acceptance speech from their homes. TissueTech was over the moon. The theme for the conference was “Level Up” and, because of Vizrt and the TriCaster, that was something our production was able to do. It was fantastic.” Scott Wellington Owner, Mad Crazy Production

“Each classroom is both a place where educational content is created and a place where content is consumed. And through the COVID-19 pandemic era, we realized that we must conduct education anytime, anywhere, regardless of infrastructure. NDI was the best choice for us. If the network is connected, we can transmit educational content by connecting cameras and converters anywhere in the training center through NDI. We knew that we needed AV tech that would work in a large campus and attend to high volumes of content in the form of online lectures. The structure provided by Vizrt and NDI, along with the high quality of video and audio, and the immediate and simple connection between locations, is exactly what we needed. Now, there are no headaches in trying to get tech to work, it just works.” Dong-gil Oh Director, Lotte Human Resources Development Center

The importance of video in internal communications

Click to read words of wisdom from key members of the Vizrt team

“When running a global company, you need to interact with all your employees. The most efficient way of interacting is obviously face-to-face. That’s not possible if you’re running a global organization because of sustainability, cost and efficiency issues. The second best is video. A really good in-house video production can actually help you reach out almost like you were in person. So that’s why it’s important for us, and we use it frequently when it comes to communicating and delivering messages whether it’s about our corporate goals and objectives, launching a new product or whatever it is. We use video to enhance our storytelling when we talk to our employees. It is as important as when we talk with an external audience. Video is the most efficient way of communicating. Video is crucial. And I believe we will use it more and more as we move into the future.”

– Michael Hallén, CEO, Vizrt

“Everybody is used to seeing polished video today. You see it on television and social media channels. And this has become what people expect. So, when you are producing content, even for internal communications, you do need to make sure that there is a certain level of quality to the content to help engage the viewers. If you think about your employees, they are the same people that are going to be watching content at home. You need to engage them the same way as your customers, because internally, your employees are also a bit of your customer for your message. As the Head of Brand and Communications, I’m looking at how our brand is represented externally, but we also have to think about the fact that every employee within the organization is a brand ambassador. We need to make sure that everyone understands the thoughts and the vision of the organization. And video is the key to being able to achieve that.”

– Chris Black, Head of Brand and Communications, Vizrt

“We are a globally dispersed company with a lot of remote workers. The added benefit of video is a really great tool to properly engage our employee base with leadership messaging and internal communications. We use video constantly as a company, and it’s really important to engage with employees this way in order to have that connection in a virtual messaging world. For a corporate event like the One Vizion Summit, to be able to reach the entire organization even though we can’t get everyone in the room is super important. It means everyone feels included. Everyone gets the message. Everyone can ask questions. It gives a lot of opportunities for engagement, no matter where people are in the world. We have an annual employee engagement survey where we have seen measurable increases in employee engagement since we started using video more and more in our internal communications.”

– Catherine Webb, Corporate Communications Lead, Vizrt

“It’s really important that our entire company hears the messages that come from our CEO and our leadership teams. We have a very discerning audience in our company. They interact with the biggest broadcasters in the world that produce graphics and elements for the biggest events. And so, when we put our own event on, they expect that level of production. We couldn’t just show up with a computer and put a PowerPoint out and have people watch that. We have to add some dynamic media to it. Having things like video playback, graphics, lower-third titles, all the things that our company tells every customer of ours to expect, we do that. We make tools for storytellers, and we need to be storytellers ourselves. It’s really important because every business out there needs to be using video not just to do advertising or to do social media, but to communicate with their internal stakeholders as well. And it can’t just be once in a while, it’s a constant process. We do things like webinars all the time, and sometimes those are internal, and sometimes we do broadcast those to the public world. We do training sessions. We do training videos. These are all the video pieces that a company has to make. And whether they choose to bring someone in internally or contract with an external service provider, the fact of the matter is if you’re not doing video as a company, you’re falling behind because that’s how your customers are going to consume your content.”
