Cultivating your virtual self: Ticker 125

Speaking to IR Magazine’s Jeff Cossette, Chodor discusses how Covid has rapidly accelerated the adoption of video by corporate communications and provides advice for engaging with a virtual audience. ‘Embrace it… video is only going to become more prevalent going forward,’ he says.
