Latest Video: Shuttle Bus

Enjoy this great video Will Smith created for the new shuttle buses, showcasing our many districts and things to do.

The MarComm team is also using this video to create custom “Welcome to VB” videos for new, significant clients who bring big business into town as part of an added marketing benefit. This added value helps clients recruit participants and educate registrants on what to do when they get here. The video can be embedded in client websites and used on social. To see what events would qualify for this benefit, lead time requirements for production and what logo format we would need, please see Lauren Townsend in your next division unit marketing status meeting.
