Chinwagging
In this episode of Are We Rolling?, Rowan shares a quick update about the podcast – our first look at the podcast since launching back in March.
Additionally, Rowan shares some thoughts on how businesses are embracing video differently since lockdown. Specifically, he’s seeing a huge uptick in companies looking at using video to recreate experiences, instead of just for communicating information.
And finally, Rowan gives us a look at how the business of Southpoint Films is changing, and how our approach to hiring and growth has changed recently.
Thank you to listeners James, Torrin and Thea for their questions, which are answered later in the show.
