Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We are looking for a 90-second explainer video to educate potential investors and customers on our AI-powered customer insights platform. We are open to animated only if the style is modern and not like every animated explainer video you see. The explainer video should provide an overview of how our platform works, the benefits it provides, and why customers should invest in our product. 

The explainer video should be narrated by a North American woman using the script provided who is able to present the content clearly and with enthusiasm. The voiceover must include the following information: 

• Overview of the AI-powered customer insights platform and what it does 
• Benefits of using the platform such as data accuracy, speed, etc. 
• Examples of how customers can use these insights in their business 
• Reasons why customers should invest in this technology
• Visuals to support text (illustrations, charts, etc.) 
• Animation techniques to make the content more engaging
• Music track that fits the tone and style of the video
• Subtitles and callouts throughout the video when needed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The video resulted in a re-engagement of a prospect who was unaware of some of the offerings outlined in the video. That prospect became a client a part of our pilot program and is now in the cycle of becoming an enterprise client.
