Local businesses featured, whether simply in the background or as part of the story have been super stoked about being a part of the series. It helps to inspire viewers to visit those businesses and partake in experiences. Many community members have told us how much they love the series, the local host, and the animation opening the videos, and share the videos with family and friends. Videos from this new series so far have generated over 16,000 views on YouTube.
It is a great way to showcase your community and businesses in a more intimate and engaging way. By recognizing cool local things it helps create more local engagement support and social licence. We will continue to produce new episodes, evolve the series, and distribute the content to wider audiences.
