I'm Blake Smith, a video producer with over 15 years of experience in both freelance and in-house production environments. I’ve contributed to Vidyard since its startup phase, helping build the company’s video capabilities and later driving marketing content from ideation through post-production, with a strong specialization in motion graphics. I’m adept at leading end-to-end production workflows, collaborating with stakeholders, and translating ideas into high-impact visual narratives. I thrive on crafting dynamic videos—product explainers, brand campaigns, and social assets—by combining innovative editing and motion graphics techniques with solid project management. My hands-on approach spans creative development to final delivery, and I enjoy turning complex concepts into clear, compelling visuals that resonate with audiences.
