SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And, you know, again, kind of referring to a question you asked before is how do you prepare for things that change in real time?

How do you prepare to shoot for multiple platforms?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

The thing is, we just have to be ready with a very detailed shot list ahead of time and

So this is kind of, you know, one of the things that my team helps with and tries to assist our editorial and studios teams with is data and insights on what's working on, you know, what's increasing our consumption, our distribution, our shareability.

So what we look for is, you know, we basically tested a lot of different interview formats and we've nailed down a format that really resonates for us across different platforms.

What we do is we kind of think of it more as a video op-ed style where our interviewer is not in frame.

The questions are not vocalized or heard over the audio in the video.

And we've seen that

So we see that that kind of striking, uh, straight to camera visual has been really helpful in terms of consumption on those assets.

Yeah.
