Social Sidekick meets Animoto• Knew video was critical but didn’t want to dive in too deep off the

bat

• Quickly created sample videos without much risk or extra investment

• Simply used photos from the advertisers’ websites and social pages

• Added photos/short video clips that she took with her mobile device during a recent client visit

• Tailored with text for each use case
