An interview does not have to stay in one chair
Jason Van de Merwe’s customer story for Branch.io combines a spoken account with footage from the event around it. We filmed the project for Splento.
The interview begins with a practical web-to-mobile sharing example. It gives the viewer a situation to understand before moving into the speaker’s wider experience of the platform.
Branch.io — Jason Van de Merwe customer testimonial
Watch on YouTubeMake the technical story recognisable
Jason discusses shared activities and links, insights into channels, and the experience of working with engineering and support. His account at Strava brings the subject back to things people actually do, rather than leaving it at a list of software capabilities.
That is the value of a specific customer perspective: the explanation has a person and a working context behind it.
The event adds a second layer
Interview narration continues over a stage presentation, while event and networking footage broadens the visual setting. The voice holds the thread; the surrounding images keep the film from becoming a single unbroken interview shot.
These images should serve the explanation, not simply interrupt it. Here, they also place the customer story within a wider professional gathering.
