• Reuse longer recordings into several short clips to maximize reach and content volume.

Content organization

• Upload footage into shared drives and content libraries in an orderly way.
• Keep raw clips, final edits, and approved files neatly archived.

Collaboration

• Partner with the marketing team to align with content priorities and campaign objectives.
