At StudioDylan, we've had the pleasure of collaborating with clients across industries this year, from lifestyle and arts to start-ups. What has tied each project together has been an emphasis on staying true to brand, empowering audiences through access, and dreaming big. This year was pivotal in the world of digital video innovation: from Zoom to TikTok, all generations have been impacted by some form of online video in a meaningful way.
We're excited to see what 2021 holds in store for the evolution of video: trust that we will continue to keep you updated on the latest news (More TikTok!) In the meantime, have a happy new year and we'll see you in 2021.
