You might've noticed that we've embraced the rainbow by giving our VideoScribe logo the Pride flag makeover! Pride month takes place every June and is dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ+ community.

Normally, we'd all be outside attending colorful parades, concerts, and marches but the COVID-19 pandemic has changed things. So instead, we've pulled together our favorite 7 videos from brands celebrating Pride month from afar.

What makes animation so powerful is the combination of movement, imagery and audio. Whether it's sound effects, music or a voice-over, the audio in your video plays an important role in communicating your message. 

To help you record the perfect voice-over we've teamed up with international voice-over agency, Voquent. Together we'll share exactly why voice-overs are so important and how to record your own or work with a voice-over artist to record one for you.

This Thursday, July 16th at 4PM BST, we'll be hosting crafting a successful video marketing strategy in 6 easy steps.

With countries starting to lift their COVID-19 restrictions and allowing more businesses to reopen, most of us are breathing a sigh of relief that these difficult months are nearly over. 

However, returning to the workplace might not be as easy as it seems since the virus does still pose a threat to our health. That means employers really need to focus on keeping employees safe while helping teams feel comfortable in the workplace again.

Customer success stories play an important part in building your company's credibility. The trouble is, lots of brands rely on text only case studies that can be dry and difficult to digest. 

Video helps you take your prospective customer on a journey, painting a picture of what the future could look like if they work with you. That's why we''ve designed a brand new case study video template that does all the hard work for you.

When all you have to show why you're perfect for a role is on a piece of paper, it's difficult to stand out. Text can only convey so much about you and it can feel like you can't get your message across. That's where video comes in. 

Video allows you to communicate with visuals, sound and text. It's this combination that provides opportunities to show off your personality and engage hiring managers in ways that Word documents just can't.
