Chalk Talk...from Journal Webcasts

For you – Sponsoring Chalk Talks will generate more and better results with less time and effort from your team than any other webcast offering.

• A good PowerPoint presentation
• A speaker that can present it
• About two hours of time in a conference room
• That’s it.  Really.  Nothing else.

• Our team travels to your location
• We record audio of your speaker giving the presentation (By the way, this part is easy.  We record one slide at a time, with unlimited “do-overs”, and we have a fantastic audio editing team that can strip out all the “uh” and “um” and “like, y’know”s that even your most-junior, new-college-grad, technical marketing engineer can dish out.)
• We then apply our Chalk Talk post-production magic, turning the presentation into a dialogue between your presenter and our host, adding a Chalkboard intro, animating the PowerPoint slides and synchronizing them with the audio, mixing in some music, adding survey questions and registration forms, and putting the whole thing on our high-reliability servers where it will stay available for a full year.
• After you’ve watched and approved, we promote your webcast to our engineering audience with the promotional package of your choice,  giving your Chalk Talk the big-time visibility it deserves.  Whether you go with the basic promo package or supercharge your results with e-mail blasts, featured webcast banners, or additional publication exposure, you’ll get more of the right eyes watching your presentation from beginning to end.

OK, so before you go timing all your speakers and teaching them to race through their slides like an auctioneer who’s late for his dinner date, remember that shorter, simpler webcasts get a better audience response than long complicated ones.  All that data that your speaker is reading one bullet at a time… put it into a datasheet or white paper, and we’ll make that a downloadable attachment instead.  Plus, if you’re a couple minutes over the length you’ve chosen, we’ll pretend not to notice.  We’re nice like that.
