PAST PERFORMANCE
Turnaround Management Association (TMA): Created more than 300 videos and 75 podcasts over a two-year relationship, and two full-scale virtual conferences during COVID. Our work includes multi-platform branded content, design strategy and motion graphics, and shareable educational and marketing content. The organization praises our continuing key role in engaging members and attracting new ones. Gianni Furniture: Conceptualized and produced bespoke product videos that feel like entertainment rather than commercials. Gianni valued the work so much that PRM has become its de facto marketing department. Proud to Run: Delivered multi-camera live race coverage and post-event highlights for a major event raising $600,000 for Chicago-area LGBTQ communities. Race organizers found our content boosted sentiment and participation, and retained us for 2018 and 2019’s races. Interiors for Business (IFB): Storyboarded, filmed, and edited video content celebrating the company’s work culture and what made them special employers. Feedback from new staff said they made the decision to join the company based on the videos they saw.

The Wall Street Journal just tested whether an AI clone could replace a real person for 24 hours.

The results? Impressive at times, but also a little unsettling. The AI voice just about fooled an interviewee at Snap, or at least it was a pass. The video avatar for TikTok looked convincing enough for a moment, but not for long. People definitely could tell because of the lack of facial emotion and hand movements.

Here’s the takeaway for me: technology can mimic, but it cannot replace human connection.

Associations and corporations do not need “content” that feels artificial. They need authentic stories told by real people. Members, leaders, and sponsors sharing their experiences on camera create trust in a way no machine can.

At Pond Ripple Media, LLC, that is what we focus on. Video that captures the humanity behind the mission and builds relationships that last.

Because people can still spot fake a mile away. And they crave the real thing. 🌊

New AI voice and video tools can look and sound like you. But can they fool your family—or bank? WSJ’s Joanna Stern replaced herself with her AI twin for the day to find out. Photo illustration: Elena Scotti

Hey friends 👋
It’s been a minute since we’ve posted here! Most of our updates have been living on LinkedIn, but we realized we’ve been missing out on connecting with you here on Facebook too.

Good news: we’re going to do better. You’ll start seeing more stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and examples of how we help associations, corporations, and nonprofits bring their stories to life through video.

Excited to reconnect with you here, and thank you for being part of the ripple 🌊

Been a fantastic week networking and getting to know some amazingly fun people at American Society of Association Executives (ASAE). But I’m ready to let my voice calm down (convention voice now for 3 weeks!) and see my wonderful partner Peter Fudacz

Headed to ASAE. You know it’s a work flight when I have these bad boys. Looking forward to seeing lots of industry friends. First working trip with gear from our new home. It was different this morning.

The past two days have been pretty rough. We finalized the closing of my office here in Chicago. Shed a few tears as it was my work home for the past 5 years. Here’s to the future in Florida.

When the interviewee of a client tells you that you made them comfortable before the questions begin, you might be doing a good job. And I wasn’t even conducting the interviews. Can’t say that “love what you do and you won’t work a day in your life” cause that’s simply not true. I worked my butt off but it was worth it. Especially when your client’s boss hugs you before you depart to say thanks and he loves your work.

Thank you ACRP - Association of Clinical Research Professionals
