Photo Estimates
3M
OEM
MSO
Recyclers and EV battery
Open Recall panel discussion with ARA
This was done 2 years ago
Blockchain
Its hard to incorporate Blockchain with CIECA
This would be good for CIC to present
The Committee liked the January CIECAST where members from different business segments all presented on one topic and how it impacted each of them. This is something we may be able to do more of to see cross impact.
Video
Script was sent to the Marketing and Executive Committee for feedback
It was suggested that the length of the video be shortened. The current script takes around 5 min to get through, and this would be a little longer than most people will pay attention too. Recommend a 3 min What is CIECA video and shorter videos that can be played with or individual to discuss the other areas.
Animation is preferred to keep the video neutral.
If you use someone in the industry or brands, it limits the life span of the video if someone retires or leaves the organization.
No Cartoon, but white board flow is preferred.
We have the contact for the company that worked on the Calibration video that is ready to meet to start discussing options.
Possible voiceover of someone that is known in the industry
Include testimonials
Newsletter
Received feedback to not use red and stick with the CIECA blue.
The Newsletter would go out Quarterly
Mailing list has around 45,000 - 48,000
We would have the CIECA Main topic section
A spotlight section without company logo because we do not want to be seen as promoting.
Update on upcoming CIECAST
Review of past CIECAST
Committee update
Connex update
