Redefining Video at CNN During a Pandemic

About this session

We thought redefining CNN's video experience would be an extremely large lift on its own, then a pandemic was added to the mix. Several months into this new world, we have begun developing a blueprint on how to build a team remotely and launch successful products. Join us as we give insights into this journey.
