WHAT'S THE #1 MARKETING TOOL THAT GETS YOU BOOKED? VIDEO!

We are thrilled to offer members the opportunity to obtain a completed sizzle reel or product offering video!

Chuck Gallagher of Primeau Productions explains this program.

It’s an ongoing challenge for every professional speaker: to get better gigs, you need better video. To get better video, you need better gigs!

NSA NYC is here to help with an opportunity to produce a compelling video that highlights exactly who you serve and what problem you solve – in a way that will get you hired.

  • Is your current reel outdated? (as in, older than 2019?!) The world has changed. You’ve pivoted, and want to highlight more relevant topics, new product offerings, digital vs. in-person delivery options.
  • Do you have video footage and photos but lack the time or expertise to edit them together into a cohesive marketing tool? 
  • Do you need additional footage to weave your existing footage together and convey your message in a compelling way?
  • Are you an emerging speaker and need high quality footage to get you started?

We’ve got you covered with Reel to Real 2022: a new demo reel at an unbelievable value that will convert to real gigs.

THE COMPLETED REEL YOU NEED TO BOOK REAL GIGS!
