Learning and Video Ambassador, Techsmith
3 years (Launched April 2018)
We use a number of tools in our content creation – key players are TechSmith Camtasia and Snagit. We use a variety of other tools, depending on the project, including Canva, Adobe Creative Suite.
Physical Gear:
A variety of sources for videos: Alton Brown (He’s a Chef that’s done a lot of TV shows – check out Good Eats), Nick Nimmin (YouTube), Pixar 22 story points, LinkedIn Learning, and a ton of other video creators.
Academy designs – HubSpot Academy, Asana Academy, YouTube Academy, and many other sites that aren’t academies, but make awesome learning content.
The biggest lesson is that there are a lot of types of video that can work, and you have to pick the one that is going to best serve the needs of customers. It doesn’t all have to be super high quality, use the quality that allows you to convey your message, and make people successful.

We believe TechSmith Academy has helped people feel more confident in using video and images and our tools before they purchase, and we see strong data showing that those who use the Academy go on to purchase our tools. In addition here are some direct quotes from our customers:
“I found them extremely effective because they focus directly on the topic they are intended and very clearly explained. Very useful the form of videos but useful as well the written guides!!”
“For a brand new user, these are EXTREMELY valuable. I have recommended the Academy to coworkers using your software.”

And finally, “[TechSmith Academy] is more than worth the time.”
