HI Barbara,
I do understand there might be budget constraints.
Please feel free to suggest the budget you have in mind and I can try to find a
way to work around to find a budget that would suit both of us.
Look forward to your response.

Hello,
That is reasonable, but do you think you can go into more detail about your main product? What is it about, exactly?

Hi Barbara,
I think you might be seeing us as a platform, whereas we are a service and
collaboration is through a platform.
Advids is a complete solution, right form concept to delivery of the video. We
develop all - your script, sound, visual art & animation, ensuring the final
product aligns with your objectives and is bespoke. Seamless collaboration
through our Product Management Platform, encourages feedback exchange throughout
the production cycle.
I would love to connect with you over a call to discuss the production process
in detail. Let me know if you have sometime on your calendar for this week and I
will share a meeting invite with you.
Look forward to your response.
Regards,Nac
