Dave Fitzgerald is executive vice president of Brainshark, Inc., a leader in online and mobile video presentations. In his role, Dave oversees all aspects of Brainshark’s sales, marketing and service operations.
In this conversation, Dave discusses Brainshark’s newly announced partnership with m62.
Geetesh: Who is m62, and what does Brainshark’s new partnership with them provide?
Dave: m62 is a leading presentation design firm headquartered in Liverpool, England, with additional offices in Singapore and New York. The company provides services ranging from presentation design to advanced PowerPoint and presentation skills training.
e’re excited to announce this partnership with m62, and apply our joint expertise to help companies maximize the impact of their communications. Through the partnership, m62 will now be reselling Brainshark’s enterprise offerings to companies in the U.K. and across the globe. This extends the benefits of Brainshark to an even larger audience, allowing users with as little as a PowerPoint deck and the phone to create high-impact video presentations within minutes.
Geetesh: What Brainshark abilities dovetail with m62, and how is this a win-win situation?
Dave: We feel this partnership is a particularly good match because our missions – to help companies and business professionals create and deliver compelling presentations – are truly complementary. We both arm our customers with solutions and resources for delivering stellar content that increases sales win rates, marketing conversions, training success and overall revenues.
Customers can benefit from m62’s deep-seated presentation expertise and ability to powerfully combine visual and verbal communications. At the same time, Brainshark also now provides m62’s customers with an easy, cost-effective way to deliver their presentations on-demand – no travel costs or scheduling overhead. Audiences can experience the communications where, when and how they want, including from smartphones and tablets like the iPad.
We’ve recently embarked on a series of roadshows with m62 throughout the U.K., where we’ll be sharing presentation best practices with attendees. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership and to the resulting benefits for Brainshark and m62 customers.
