Video Playlist: Vendition Career Advisor Spotlights

This YouTube playlist features 4 video interviews with different people from Vendition's team of Career Advisors. This passionate team is on the front lines with our Apprentice candidates providing ample job support daily, but sometimes their hard work operates behind-the-scenes. I decided to shine a spotlight on these team members to boost the visibility of their impact both internally and externally, while strategically managing expectations for future Apprentices. Applicants would often ask, "Who will I be working with next?" and these videos helped answer that question.

Video Playlist: Reviews from Vendition Alumni

This YouTube video playlist features 25 video testimonials from a diversity of Vendition Alumni who landed tech sales jobs upon completing our paid Sales Apprenticeship Program. I spearheaded this video marketing testimonial initiative to elevate the experiences and success of our Alumni while building brand awareness and trust among future Apprentices. I owned process development, video collection, editing, branding, and publication of these testimonials. I absolutely love shining a light on stories like this through video!

Higher Logic Customer Success Video: EdTA Turns to Online Community in the Wake of Disaster

How can a professional association support its members during a natural disaster? The Educational Theatre Association shared its inspiring story with Higher Logic's team during an on-site interview I conducted in Ohio to help produce this content. In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, Hans Weichhart, Chief Relationship Officer at EdTA, shared that their online community came together to offer help.

For this case study, the Higher Logic marketing team traveled to the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) offices in Washington, D.C. to interview leaders on the need for education, advocacy, and community. ASAE's online community, AKA their "town square," is meeting these needs for members. Members are initiating engagement and collaborating, connecting in ways they never have before. Now ASAE is also seeing improvements in volunteering and non-dues revenue.

For this case study, the Higher Logic marketing team traveled to The Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) offices in Washington, D.C. to interview leaders on the impact of their online community. RAPS invested in engagement tools to meet the needs of its member base. Their online community has become a top member benefit, and with marketing automation, the organization has deeper insight into how to meet its members’ needs.

Higher Logic Customer Success Video: Southern Medical Association (SMA)

During my time at Higher Logic, I worked closely with our Creative Director and Graphic Designer to produce case studies reflecting customer success. As a trio, we traveled from Virginia to Alabama and interviewed leaders at the Southern Medical Association to create this story. SMA built a member community of health care providers to recreate their association online. SMA Connect, their online community, provides their members with a way to engage, connect, and support each other 365 days a year, 24/7, as opposed to attending one meeting a year.

Higher Logic Customer Success Video: Metal Treating Institute (MTI)

During my time at Higher Logic, I traveled to Tennessee to interview our customers at The Metal Treating Institute. MTI has gone through a digital transformation over the past decade. This trade association relied on its Higher Logic community as a key partner in this process. Before MTI adopted an online community, it was short on staff, it didn’t have an AMS, and its revenue was decreasing. The trade association needed to update its value proposition dramatically to thrive again.

How can a professional association create a meaningful experience for its members? The Educational Theatre Association (EdTA), a professional association for theatre educators, added an online community to its value proposition in 2014. Since then, EdTA has seen its members jump into the Theatre Education Community and create meaningful connections and further each other's careers. During my time at Higher Logic, I traveled to from Virginia to Ohio to interview leaders at EdTA and help produce this customer success case study.
