Apps We Love – Nutshell

In the first of our blog posts by the team, Kevan looks at a content creating app providing a simple solution to professional and innovative video.

Bill Gates said ‘Content is king!’ all the way back in 1996, a time that we can look back on now as incredibly primitive in comparison to today’s social and content heavy web. In 1996 there were just over 250 thousand websites, now there are over 950 million! That’s making being seen ever more difficult and there’s a matter of ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ by ensuring your content looks suitably professional.

For us, in our use of social media in particular, we want to utilise as many different ways of creating content as possible. Step forward Nutshell. From the makers of the incredibly addictive and impressive Prezi comes an app that provides an alternative to Vine or Instagram. The concept is simple but the results are impressive. Snap three photos and add some graphics (or words) and a story is created including the video in between shots. The resultant content can then be shared by email, message or on social media channels Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Check out one I made at the office here of unsuspecting colleagues (http://nutshell.prezi.com/NSOUgfieTb) and have a go yourself – the app can be found on iTunes app store, no word on an Android version yet unfortunately! We’ll be looking for ways to incorporate more Nutshell’s in our, and our clients’, communications so keep an eye out for them!
