A video has an 86% retention rate higher than still images and text.

Chance combines his global experiences in investment banking and media – interviewing A-List celebrities, politicians, socialites – and formulated a digital way to strategically grow your business through a personalized interview tailored to you and your industry.

Your video establishes an instant relationship with potential clients. They feel you are talking to them and putting on an exclusive private presentation of who you are and what you do.
