Strategies to engage fans, attract sponsors, and grow your audience

“We’ve achieved a range of efficiencies through a centralized, flexible workflow, and this has totally transformed how we broadcast high-action FIU sports games to fans…Our production team achieved broadcast-quality output for every single one of our home volleyball, soccer, football, and basketball games in the season. Moving equipment is no longer required and flexible production is achieved with ease.”

Nick Garrido , Athletics’ Assistant Athletic Director of Live Production at
Florida International University

“Niche events like this wouldn’t normally have the budget and access to have entirely dedicated enterprise-grade live production hardware set ups and there are often barriers, like time and complexity, to manually set up new cloud environments. By using Viz Now, Dødsing was able to remove barriers to the cloud and achieve an extremely high production value and use all the top market tools they wanted for live production from graphics to sports replay all in one solution.”

Ulrich Voigt Global Head of Product Management at Vizrt
on niche sports organization ‘The Dødsing Federation’

“The Vizrt gear’s ease of use is particularly powerful considering the quick, easy setup of cameras and video sources, and the kit’s endless creative possibilities.…We are aiming to be the best in our game and deliver a service like ‘The Big Boys’ do but with a more cost-effective solution.”

Don’t forget to include:

1. Document Overview list view is handy to have open so you can see labeled areas indicating where some edits can be made
2. Slug is the URL. Once you save a draft with a page title, it defaults to that unless you edit it. Editing the slug URL to be more concise is a benefit at times.
3. Meta Description is an SEO-friendly description.
4. Keyphrase Synonyms is where the bulk of your keywords will go. Separate each keyword or phrase with a comma. These are all supporting keywords to the Main Keyphrase (see item #7).
5. Featured image: This is part of the meta-data and auto-populates any query card image on hub pages. Page Titles and Subheadings are also elements needed to populate query cards and metadata.
6. Excerpt This auto-populates on query card text. If left empty, it will default to the first bit of text on the page. This can be the same as the Meta description.
7. Focus Keyphrase is the main Keyword. The inputs for this and the supporting keywords are in slightly separate areas, making it a little confusing.
