We’re experiencing a lot of exciting change as of late at Rapt Media as we continue to grow our company. From improvements to our interactive video editor – now called the Rapt Media Composer – to an updated version of our API, we’re continuing to evolve. We felt now was the perfect time to also update the Rapt Media website. Launched this week, we’re thrilled to announce the latest version of RaptMedia.com.
If you’ve watched our recently released interactive video series, “Storytelling 2.0,” you know that we’ve been busy raising awareness and building demand for our product – using our own product. The second episode focuses on a decision that many companies, including Rapt Media, face: hire an agency to support your marketing efforts, or build a team to do it all in-house? Spoiler Alert: we chose not one but two agencies – and one of those agencies, Good Apples, a Boulder-based brand identity and graphic design studio, was hired to help us redesign our website.
We’ve been very candid about our journey as a growing startup in the “Storytelling 2.0” series, so we thought we’d keep that honest and collaborative spirit alive by sharing some of what went into our website redesign.

We are putting the spotlight on Episode 2, which focuses on a decision that many companies face: do you hire an agency to support marketing efforts, or do you build a team to do it all in-house? Explore with Rapt Media the advantages and disadvantages in hiring an agency vs. staying in-house, meet the agencies being considered, and learn how these potential partners could help with everything from developing a marketing strategy to website redesign.
