The traditional webinar is used by a majority of B2B marketers, but if you’ve been watching the trend lines over a long time you know that sign-up and attendance rates are declining. It’s time to re-think the webinar for a modern world, by ‘flipping’ the webinar with on-demand video, by communicating with viewers through interactive engagement tools, and by continuing to innovate and improve your content.

• What to Do When the Appetite for Online Video Grows Faster than the budget - Business Video Today (November 3, 2011) -  Steve Vonder Haar interviews KnowledgeVision CEO Michael Kolowich and concludes, “Video really is a great, engaging communications venue.

And now that both capabilities can be found in a single flexible tool, there’s no reason not to spread that capability widely in an organization.”
• Beyond PowerPoint – Better Communications Results (March 8, 2011) – “What gives KnowledgeVision ‘wow’ power . . . is its ability to have your audience  focus on the key element — the slides, the video, the handout material, etc., — when you wish them to. They see them all, but the ‘focus’ of control (pardon the pun, a play on ‘locus of control’) is in your hands.”

• KnowledgeVision Finds $2MM – Xconomy (January 5, 2011) – “The company, which was founded in early 2010, will use the funding to expand its software and services and enter new markets worldwide.”
