BombBomb‘s about building stronger relationships through improved communication.  We think video is a better way; it’s personal and powerful.  So, we’re constantly looking for ways to help you make better videos more easily at less expense.

 

To that end, we enlisted Bob Kaplitz, Senior VP of Content Marketing at AR&D, to provide a webinar – 5 Keys to Getting Comfortable on Camera.  He brings 30 years of experience coaching top television news anchors in cities all across the United States to the effort.

 

His video tips are surrounded by other valuable insights, bonus video tips, and great Q&A with BombBomb customers about their videos.  As you’re getting started with video email marketing, you should find this guidance useful.

 

What follows is:
