About this template

In this format, you’ll get the chance to show off your different markets and, at the same time, communicate business knowledge.

How to get started

This is a step-by-step guide on how you use this template to write your year in review video script.

Find your story

This story comes from your business and your knowledge of the markets you operate in.

Find your assets

Use a relevant location- or segment-based image/video clip for the headline, another of the person you are interviewing and two market-related images/video clips.

Produce it

​​The format is relatively simple and could most likely be done through email or even forms if you have a lot of different markets or segments. Make sure to explain how long you want the answers to be to make script writing as easy as possible.

Examples:

“Selling sand in the Sahara – let’s talk about Morocco,”

“The French Connection – why France is a major market”

“London Calling – the challenges in the UK”
