Inception Social Overview Video

Social media is a medium accessible to anyone, and broadcasters, sports teams, and entertainment venues are looking to social media as a means to reach their audiences. Up until now, there were few easy ways of integrating all forms of social media into one unified dashboard. Inception is changing that, providing the ability to publish content to social media and the Web, discover and curate content for your productions or live event, or engage your audience through social media polling with real-time results.
