Inaddition, Chamber members discuss whythey are active in a particular council, theAaron Scher, engineer for Cotton Hill Studios, Inc., edits a Chamber council videobenefits they receive and why a businessshould consider getting involved in acouncil.“We wanted to showcase ourcouncils, as they are excellent ways forChamber members to make connectionswith other business professionals and thecommunity and get pertinent informationto help them grow their business,” saidTrevor Sparks, the Chamber’s marketingand online media manager. “They aredesigned for Chamber members whomay be unfamiliar about what a counciloffers and for those who are not part ofthe Chamber to show one of the ways–– through councils –– that a Chambermembership investment can impact theirbusiness in a positive way.”“While most of the Web is made upof text, video is becoming the best methodof multidimensional communication asmore and more users are on high-speedconnections,” said Ray Rettig, presidentof Cotton Hill Studios. “Unlike staticforms of communication, Web video ismuch more dynamic using both audio andvisual media.
