Mind Matters has produced corporate
films and canned special and exclusive interviews for many organisations.
A key aspect in corporate film making is being able to relate
to the management outlook - vision and mission and
then effectively
integrating it in to the audio visual format.
At times this calls in for innovation in approach besides creative
and technical
production.
We at Mind Matters emphasize on
understanding the target audience for such films and the possible
screening venues
and environment before we move on to conceptualize the film.

Technology moves faster
than you can say “T”. In such a fast paced scenario,
attention spans are also reducing, making it even more challenging than ever before to get not just your
brand, your company registered with your prospects but also to increase its recall proposition.
That’s why corporate presentations can make or break your
company’s sales pitch. Corporate presentations are increasingly
being produced in FLASH film formats that allow endless creative
and technical options to add the punch that you are looking for
to your presentations. Having said that, we always encourage
our clients to keep in mind that packaging and presentation can
at
best supplement content, not replace it. Mind Matters team ensures
that the content and messaging is not compromised in any manner.

This is yet another
powerful tool of motivation internally. A trend that is catching
up with
India Inc., now. A company anthem has many applications and can
be used on internal and external platforms by
corporates. At This is especially relevant to growing companies
and large corporates. It is usually created around the vision-mission
of the company and helps in stirring up motivational levels significantly
within organizations. What’s more, many employees feel
and understand their common goal much better and relate to it
strongly,
yet others derive inspiration to achieve whenever the company
anthem plays.

There are occasions when
companies realize and feel the need to clear misconceptions
involving their products (not brands) and its usage with respect
to diverse
issues that may range from price to security or health concerns.
These concerns can severely restrain growth of not just companies,
but the entire sector. In a country where many industries face
competition from the unorganized sector, at times the perceived
value of the product itself is prone to erosion affecting all companies
in the organized sector to the core. These are situations when
it becomes necessary for the companies to educate the
customer / end-user on all issues related to the product and a film can
convey all information and actually show the true side
to the issues / products more emphatically than any other medium.

Internal communications
in organizations is a big challenge and larger the company the
challenge is often more demanding. There is a constant need to
innovate and to infuse excitement into the various in-house media.
Video Newsletters is an effective and refreshingly new concept
that goes a long way in driving employee morale and serves to
boost their motivation effectively. Vinit Mahey in close association
with the then corporate communication team at Cummins India Limited
designed and developed this concept that continues to be a popular
and much looked forward to media by Cummins' employees across
the
country. We believe that Video newsletters are the most
effective way in communicating in-house, whether in IT companies
or traditional
companies with a huge network within and outside the country. Change
is inevitable in contemporary business environment bringing change
management into focus internally. A video newsletter is your
best tool / media that can effectively
address sensitivities of employees in times of
change. Video Newsletters can also be used as an appropriate
replacement to printed newsletters for customers / other external
target audiences.

A fairly accepted tool
of demonstrating products, CD’s and animations are irreplaceable.
These need to be backed by appropriate content and depending
on the target audience, often technical aspects need to be explained
in a common-man language. This is the real challenge in these
tools
of communications. Product CD’s and animations need to
be
self-explanatory and
have a wide
range of applications from academics
to corporate presentations and on public
events and symposia / exhibitions. Walk-through
have now become popular in expressing visualizations that facilitate
a better understanding and appreciation
of concepts that would otherwise be difficult to convey. The
key to producing these CD’s is content and scripting. At
Mind Matters while we have the experience and expertise in production
and our associate consultants have wide-ranging experience, we
also undertake analysis of content
and recommend appropriate changes for effective
communications.
