What is Bitwise | Explainer Video
PROJECT NOTES:
This video was created in-house for Bitwise Industries. I co-wrote this script with the videographer at Bitwise, based off of notes we received from our CEO (the project stakeholder. ) I worked alongside the media production team to help match visuals to the script, adapt the content on-the-fly as needed, and proofread the video before final release.
SCRIPT
What is Bitwise?
We're glad you asked.
Bitwise is a tech ecosystem that activates human potential to lift up underdog cities around the country.
Let's see that again.
Bitwise is a tech ecosystem that activates human potential to lift up underdog cities around the country.
What does that mean?
Good question.
Imagine a line of dominos waiting to be tipped over, each essential to knocking over the next and causing a chain reaction in the technology industry.
Our first domino is education.
Underdog cities are filled with resilient, gritty people just a few skills away from solving important challenges in tech.
So, we teach people to code with a specific focus on building on-ramps for those traditionally left out of the tech industry.
The more people we teach, the more talent grows, creating an army of developers ready to share their brilliance with the world.
We call it Geekwise Academy.
Geekwise knocks over our second domino – place.
We build world-class tech venues and lease state-of-the-art space, creating a place for talent and opportunity to connect and thrive.
Students, companies, and like-minded talent collaborate and innovate, leveling-up the tech industry.
This vibrant community knocks over our third domino – industry.
Here, companies are created to solve some of the world's biggest challenges.
Our flagship company, Shift3 Technologies, hires the very best out of Geekwise.
This proves it's possible to build top-flight tech companies in unexpected places, all with the diverse, nontraditional talent produced at Geekwise.
In each venue, Geekwise and Shift3 grow alongside other amazing tech companies, building an inclusive tech industry in each underdog city.
That growth creates tech jobs and opportunity in every direction.
Thus, sprouting non-tech jobs at an even faster rate.
That growth spills out of Bitwise to neighboring developments, it buys homes and pays taxes - that growth begins to impact every facet of the entire city.
Looking back at the first domino – Geekwise Academy – we see it started everything.
It empowered humans to improve their own lives, and in the process, transform their city.
That's Bitwise.
