CASE STUDY

Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses

Education program in Rhode Island

The Challenge

Our mission was to encapsulate the essence of the Rhode Island 10,000 Small Businesses educational program through compelling video testimonials. In our approach, we opted for a streamlined technique known as Short-Form video production. Drawing inspiration from our expertise in this field (for more insights, visit our page on Short-Form Videos), we embarked on the task, aiming to distill the program's impact into concise yet powerful videos.

What We Accomplished

In a single day, we achieved the remarkable feat of capturing video testimonials from three enthusiastic business owners at three locations in Rhode Island. Our lean production crew, consisting of two 10k associates and me, enabled us to record the testimonials efficiently, gather engaging b-roll footage, and create captivating portraits—all within a brisk 90-minute window.

The Results

The end result was a series of genuine video testimonials featuring actual business owners. They candidly shared their firsthand experiences with the program, shedding light on how it profoundly influenced their personal growth and business success. Importantly, our efficient approach ensured minimal disruption to the busy schedules of these entrepreneurs. Additionally, alongside the standard video format, we tailored vertical videos optimized for their Instagram Feed, enhancing the program's reach and impact across various digital platforms.
