Hong Bao Media has launched a first in Singapore": It conveys to in-house marketing professionals must-have skills in front of and behind the camera. In partnership with Moore's Lore Media and Shootsta, "Video Savvy LIVE - How to produce videos in time and on budget" is a blended learning workshop, with strong emphasis on hands-on practise.
By applying CliftonStrengths coaching techniques, our Gallup-certified Principal Coach and HBM Managing Director Mark Laudi is able to help even the most introverted executive tap into their natural talents and get comfortable in front of live audiences or on camera.
If you are senior – or lucky – enough to have a speech writer, it’s time to either change their job description, or to let them go.
Hong Bao Media and Shootsta are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration to equip corporate communications and marketing professionals with the tools and skills they need to produce video content in-house.

A surprising number of media training participants have asked me why they can't just speak their minds like Donald Trump. They admire his courage to say what he thinks. But while I have some sympathy with the motivation, it does not follow that you should follow Trump's example. Here are six reasons why.
The discussion about policing fake news misses one important point. Sure, people shouldn’t publish rubbish and pass it off as news. But news consumers must become better judges of whether stories are truthful.
People who are saying LinkedIn Live is late to the video live streaming party are missing the point. The network is designed for business people sharing meaningful, valuable content - and that will apply to live video, too. I cannot overstate the significance of this.
