Government Web Managers Takes the Course

This week we are running a video bootcamp for GSA.gov, the General Services Administration for the US Government.

They pretty much keep the government running, and they believe that video literacy for government agencies is critical for the 21st Century.

We agree.

There are reps from many of the most important agencies in the government here, from National Institute for Health to HHS to EPA to the House of Representatives and many many more. And they’re all out shooting and editing and screening their work.  Interesting.
