Additional Content Creates More Opportunities
Fifteen on-camera interviews, multiple b-roll shoots and creation of an animated design system ultimately generated a content library valuable in the creation of cross-platform social executions, additional topical videos and strategic communications.
With all the footage captured by the Mode team, they’ve greatly extended the possibilities of this production. Truly a valuable partnership.
— Peter Cunningham, Chicago CRED
