Why work with Steve?

“… Video is the wave of the future as it lets people really feel they are there. Instead of giving people a sliver of the action through stills and prose, it’s giving them a piece of the pie and a real taste for the place. …” (by Rob Lloyd)

  • i love what i do
  • i help people with their travel plans, problems and questions
  • as many travel industry expert say travel video is the evolution of travel media
  • i'm real & authentic and so are my videos – though i write storyboards i feel free in front of the camera and don't act
  • as an official Videographer for Traveldudes I'm able to publish videos on Traveldudes and use their Social Media power as well in certain projects
  • concepts are my base – a lot of my past customers say that i'm good in organizing (is it because i'm german?)
  • you get the local point of view – through couchsurfing and slow travel i'm always in search of the experience off the beaten path
  • 9 years experience in Social Media, UX and Webtechnologies
  • i'm not only contributing – i jump into the conversation with my readers, viewers, followers and try to answer almost all questions and reactions i get
  • my media is mobile optimized – i guess you know that mobile web is becoming more and more popular, so my Blog is mobile optimized as well as my videos
  • i'm not a couch potato – though for blogging i sometimes sit on the couch, when it comes to travel i like to be active: i love hiking, snowboarding, surfing, sports and look forward discovering new action activities

Recent projects & References

See what recent partners, customers and of course my readers have to say to get a better idea of my work.

Euro 2012 for VisitDenmark & DBU
I went on a Blogtrip to the European Football Championship in Lviv, Ukraine for one week. Beside watching football matches i produced Videoblogs with the danish Blogger Tobias to capture the atmosphere.
We were invited by VisitDenmark (danish tourism board) & DBU (danish football Association) to the danish Camp and made some funny challenges to prepare for the match between Denmark and Germany.

“…Steve Hänisch has during the European Football Championship 2012 conceptualized, planned and executed an impressive video-blogging and social media campaign for VisitDenmark, Germany.

Besides being a joy and great fun to work with, Steve is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas, involve and inspire his surrounding to take part and is very professional. He has successfully developed several video- and blog post for the campaing that have resulted in increased interest from our German, Danish as well as foreign football fans. Moreover he has been able to spread the message of the campaign through his well-established twitter-, blog- as well as facebook channels and on top integrated the press as well. I found Steve to be reliable, goal-oriented person and brings in a broad range of skills, which can leverage each campaign or project.

I enthusiastically recommend Steve – he is willing to go beyond what is required to make a campaign a success….”
(Anh Thi Van Nguyen, Marketing VisitDenmark)

Marketing Video for German IA Summit 2012
I was invited by the organizers of the german Information Architecture summit to Essen for creating a marketing video about the conference.

“… I had the pleasure to work with Steve on several projects. He was always very professional and his deliverables of high quality. His videos have been exactly what we were looking for to sum up our conference in a short and dynamic way – moreover the communication was great and straight to the point.
I am looking forward to work with him again soon! …”
