We simply send a kit consisting of a GoPro camera, desktop lighting and mic to the CEO, coach them remotely over Zoom, and they then return the kit to MVP for SD card extraction and post-production complete with all the graphic effects. Then on to the next CEO until we complete production and deliver the files–and a compelling online testimonial case history. Have a value creation plan worth sharing?
