Rockit Projects, Inc. broadcast our first streaming video on to the web last Thursday at the Chicago.com ChicaGo Green Event! Viewers watched from the comfort of their homes,  as 10 bands took the stage at Reggies Music Joint on Chicago’s south side. By by utilizing streaming technology, the Rockit Projects team worked as camera operator, streaming technician, and social support. All three assets are necessary to have a successful product and valuable viewership. “This is just the first in a long list of LIVE gigs that Rockit will be producing” said Rockit Projects, Inc. owner Pasquale Iannino. “Streaming video is such a great tool when working with a client like Chicago.com, but has the potential to reach out into different industries as well!”

Though Rockit Projects, Inc. did not produce the actual ChicaGo Green event, they did lend a vital hand in gaining viewership and data that can then be utilized for essential marketing development.

Chefs’ Fest 2010 turned out to be a great success! by utilizing a new concept of video testimonials, Rockit Projects Inc. was able to initiate interactive video marketing services to this event. Table #23 was the Rockit Projects section that included a separate video review booth for visitors to record their favorite elements of Chefs’ Fest directly onto the computer. From there, the food reviews go to a database and are held until approved by RP and the client. Once published, the reviewer is notified automatically via email, where a link of the video is sent along with.

“This was such a great new feature and a really cool concept” one reviewer said. “It was so easy and all I had to do was hit record, say my thoughts, then fill out a small form where I title my review, and hit submit!”

Most reviewers walked out with great prizes from restaurants at the event, as their names were put into a raffle and drawn at the end of the night.

Video testimonials or reviews are a great way to entertain and add quality content that clients can use for promotional purposes or even further develop marketing statistics! Oh, and all of the reviews are able to go viral, and have full analytics.
