If you’re launching a new campaign (or already have a campaign) spend some time and effort into crafting a pitch video. Remember, a campaign pitch video doesn’t have to take any single form, it can be compelling or silly, inspiring or lighthearted, personal or abstract. The important thing is that it reflects you, your passion, and the goals of your campaign.
We have a handful of resources to help you out, including a recent account of the pitch video process by fellow Gogo-er Melissa, and an amazing customer happiness team here to guide you through the video process.
