Organization: Mary Washington Healthcare Location: Fredericksburg, VA Title of Entry: “MWHC Sings a Tale of Needing a New EMR” Category: 183. Music – Video Production – Long Form Video

When creating an introduction video for an organization, our first instinct may be to outline key facts and figures. But, working closely with team members from all areas of an organization can lead to a colorful and fun representation of the organization as a whole.

To introduce themselves to their new EMR provider and celebrate their Virginia roots, Mary Washington Healthcare team members dressed in traditional civil war era costume and performed “Right Hand Man” from the Broadway musical Hamilton. Mary Washington Healthcare CEO Mike McDermott, M.D., led the lively musical number throughout the MWHC campus.

The video’s production quality is impressive, but the Mary Washington Healthcare team’s performance makes the video especially memorable.

No organization is safe from cybercrime, no matter the industry. Technology professionals are well-versed in cybercrime preparation, but the average person may not always have a full understanding of cyberattacks and how to prevent them.

Washington Post’s branded content team, WP BrandStudio, worked with Siemens to create an interactive cyberattack experience. The interactive content gives users a glimpse into both the dangers of cyberattacks, and the precautions businesses and governments have undergone to prepare for these dangers.

In the interactive site, users are prompted to choose between two scenarios: a manufacturing plant and a power station. Once users choose their path, they’re run through a virtual campus of the scenario with a timeline explaining the cyberattack process, and mock organizations vulnerabilities.

The site’s interactive content explains the abstract concept of cybercrime through a hands-on experience.

Back in the day, (before streaming services, iPods, and CDs), mixtapes were all the rage. These were essentially a playlist on cassette tape but took much diligence and patience to master because you were dealing with record albums and analog recording.

To promote the release of their new album “Concrete and Gold,” the Foo Fighters decided to throwback to the old days of mixtapes. Sony partnered with the Modern English Digital of the UK to create an interactive website where users are able to create their own personalized mixtape on Spotify of Foo Fighters music. The website format brought back the nostalgia of creating mixtapes for older fans while introducing music to new fans on a familiar platform.
