Session 2

The Session: Ikigai: Story Telling with Data using Videos
Companies of today are pivoting from long form articles and written content to short, easy-to-consume, impactful data-backed videos with powerful narration.
With this seminar, I would like to share the framework using videos as a medium to share stories, rich with data to clients and customers which enable them to make long-term business decisions.
The Speaker: Haripriya Rao
Current Role: Content Strategist at Quizizz Inc. (Bengaluru) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In her own words
As a Content Strategist at Quizizz, I am the voice of the user in Engineering, Support, Sales and Marketing departmental meetings and I use these platforms to set the strategy for feature requests and marketing campaigns. I have created a personalized content marketing campaign (using videos), and they were shipped to 1000 US educational districts to drive value and increase our sales revenue for this year. We’ve seen an 8% increase in booked meetings this year with a conservative estimate of 20% more. I’ve also created How-to videos for enabling users to use the product themselves and we’ve received positive feedback from customers preferring watching the videos rather than reading the same content to use the tools.
I’m wow-ed by period pieces, Carnatic instrumental music, Mythology and analyse marketing case-studies which enrich my day-to-day activities at work.
