Studies have shown that visual content can increase learning retention by up to 65% compared to traditional text-based materials (Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020). Additionally, 90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual, and visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text (3M Corporation). Recognizing that videos significantly enhance students' attention spans and facilitate better absorption of learning content, our client sought to create 55 short subject intro videos to enrich their educational offerings.

The complexity of this project required a unique blend of creativity, market understanding, audience insight, and expertise in advanced video editing and voice technologies. This is why the client selected the Goodvoice team to bring their vision to life. Leveraging our multidisciplinary expertise, we successfully delivered all 55 videos within budget and under two months, exceeding the client's expectations.
