Production of a dynamic and engaging highlight reel for a local networking event.

To capture the essence of the LinkedIn Local Guildford event, showcasing the vibrant community, valuable connections made, and the overall positive atmosphere. The reel was to be used for promotional purposes, attracting future attendees and reinforcing the event’s brand.
