Toonly Rocks! So much fun learning to use this tool.

Have you heard of Toonly? If you are in the PR profession, you may have heard that animation is popular among teens and 20-somethings. I discovered Toonly and created this video to promote the Certificate in Public Relations offered by University of Missouri - St. Louis. Special thanks to Mariah Lindsey for the voiceover, and Drew Dubis for the microphone.

The folks at Toonly call them animated explainer videos . . . simply put, they are short, animated video content with a targeted message. My next project will be to build an animated explainer video that illustrates how to use the Associated Press Stylebook. Lol! I hear from students over and over that they are confused by the AP Stylebook. They believe that it is a dictionary.

I should also give a shout out to Wix. I was in the process of learning to use Wordpress, when Wix came to my attention. It was fairly easy to figure out and I am pleased with my little website.

Have you tried any new tools in your role as a public relations practitioner? Note: I pay for both of these systems. This is not a paid endorsement for Wix or Toonly. But rather, feedback from a paid user.
