This past Wednesday was the Village of Woodridge’s 2020 State of the Village address. This was a really unique challenge for me as I took lead on the project, and got to test some skills I wasn’t entirely sure I had!

My key responsibilities on the project included:

• Selecting and negotiating with a videographer (we chose Diamond Head Productions who I’m happy to recommend).
• Producing an outline for the video, including working with the Mayor and administrative staff to outline our key messaging and desired outcomes for the project.
• Writing the voiceover script for the video, and selecting and co-coordinating shoot locations.
• Working with the Mayor to write her keynote speech for the event, and creating and controlling the accompanying imagery.
• Working with the team to market the event to our business community.
• Creating post-event graphics (seen above) to share our messaging.

Overall, I’m really pleased with how everything turned out, and looking forward to building upon the lessons learned for next year.
