That is an old account btw, from my previous life. @Marxoz is how I roll now :)

[PothieuG]

What is great is that TinaCMS is a great and user friendly tool that helps developers and non-developers working together !

Of the 3 I think that Gert's video was awesome. Just maybe make sure the trucks aren't around next time 🤣

I've already introduced Tina to a friend, but with way more time to explain it. It's good to practice a pitch and have a way to explain it concisely and simple for when you don't have much time.

BTW - I don't think we should have 2 different rules for pitches... company and product... they seem too similar to justify being separated:

• https://www.ssw.com.au/rules/elevator-pitch/
• https://www.ssw.com.au/rules/pitch-a-product/

[jaydenalchin]

+1 - they're in the same category and definitely feel like duplicates

[MarcusIrmscherSSW]

Loved Gerts video it was concise, informative and personable.

[Marxoz]

3 different videos for 3 different audiences I think.

I liked Piers' video as it was more developer focussed, and I think Tina is a product that you will probably sell to developers working on a big project rather than the client itself.

[camillars]

A pitch needs to be short and straight to the point, so my favourites are @piers-sinclair & @Marxoz 💫

my video - https://youtu.be/yy5_KQ2H5OA (ignore the background noise please 😆)

[Levijj22]

This was fun.
It forced you to be concise and made you think about what the most important feature of Tina is...which is different for everyone.

Some clients will be interested in the Editorial workflow, others the data.
That's why it's vital to ask questions when in Tina sales calls so you can concentrate on the features the client cares about.

[TobyChurches]

I liked all 3, but Gert's video was my favourite. I liked the brief overview (makes me want to look into it more)

[GabbyWard]

This was a good exercise (especially for a rookie like myself!) I liked Pier's quick elevator pitch, felt like he got the points across pretty quick

I haven't been able to record my one yet, but I wonder if you can do like an "over-edited, speedy" style of youtube video (kind of like your typical YT shorts) which also shows TinaCMS in action + speaking vs only speaking to the points.

[jeoffreyfischer]

I like Adam's video because it gives context of where Tina sits comparted to the CMS

[leahy268]

I liked Adams video. Mostly because I have had problems with a vendor wanting to extract lot's of money to get a copy of a clients data. Being in GitHub and already owned by the client is a great thing.

[sethdaily]

Different perspectives from different people - all good depending on who the audience is. Tailor it to the person you're talking to

[Calinator444]

I personally prefer Piers' video. The delivery is excellent and he tells you everything you need to know about Tina in a short window. The only small nitpick I have is that there's some issues with the audio mix. Really gave my left ear a workout.

Anyway, here's a link to my shot at selling Tina

[ricksu978]

I like Piers' video because it's bloody awesome!

[tomek-i]

I prefer Adam's video as it sounds less like a pitch and more like a snipped from a casual conversation and hence more believable.
It also sounds like he believes what he is saying compared to the other videos which sound they are scripted and acted out.

[stephanfakossw]

Like Gert's video the best - friendly face...zippy but informative

I always enjoy an elevator pitch because I think it helps me learn about the things we're talking about. You have to be succinct and think about it before you action.

[bahjatalaadelssw]

Piers' video made it approachable.

[jerryluossw]

I like Piers' video and Jean's video, Because they started by saying that Tina's data was stored on Github, that s is the most attractive.

[jimmidier]

All videos are awesome and I like Adam's video the best as the pain point was brought up and knowing how Tino solves the problem makes it super convincing

[duanxinhuan]

The only point of CMS to me is:
Boosting sales!!

[Aibono1225]

I like Adam's video for the history part with a clear comparison between Tina and other CMSs

[KristenHu]

I like Piers' video, cause he mentioned that Tina CMS is GitHub-based, that's the most unique part for Tina I think.

[tino-liu]

I enjoyed Adam's, although it is longer than 60 seconds, but his video really points out how Tina.io stands out.
My video: https://youtu.be/KSeN_H6qAlc?si=oSYxROGRN7t4ms_x
Problem is, it's hard to really come up with a good pitch without going a little in depth. Soooo, I my video went past 60 seconds.

[bettybondoc]

In the form, my original vote was for Piers' because it's straight to the point and gave me what I care most about right off the bat — owning my content. But in this GitHub discussion, Jean's was added and his was a little better. Haha.

[christoment]

All videos are good - I like Adam's video since it has CTA at the end 😄

[danielmackay]

If I had to pick one video, it would be Piers's one. Direct, to the point, natural sounding, and CTA at the end.
