The planning has begun for this year's Swim With the Sharks Video Pitch Competition. It  has been a huge success for the past three years, as part of the New Castle County Chamber of Commerce's Annual Dinner. Past Winners and Finalists include Carvertise (formerly Penguin Ads), NumbersBee, Delivery Circle and Deer Valley Danes!

This year, Swim With the Sharks Video Pitch Competition has been split out of the chamber's dinner, and moved to September, where it will become the focal point of the Emerging Enterprise Center's Annual Luncheon.

Video has become such a very important part of every business' marketing and brand presence. What started out primarily on Social Media, is now, and should be, part of your website, online marketing and even local cable TV.

This Year's SWTS competition will include workshops designed to help you understand  how you too can incorporate video into your business, and build a Video Pitch, that is clear-concise & compelling!

Stay Tuned for Details coming in June 2016!
