You’ve been seeing a lot from the Signalysis Media Department recently. Let’s get to know the man behind our videos and podcasts, Craig Coleman.
Q: When did you join Signalysis?
A: Officially I started back in October of last year 2019. Off and on though I’ve done odd jobs for Signalysis over the last 20 plus years. I’ve grown up around it.
Q: What is your role with the company?
A: Currently I am AV Production lead. Which I think is just a fancy way of saying “guy who makes videos….but I’ll take it.
Q: Do you see videos and podcasts taking on a larger role during these COVID times?
A: Yes. Although Videos and Podcasts aren’t a new concept, they are getting a lot of NEW attention during this pandemic…..after all they are a safe “Non-Contact” way of spreading information and knowledge without the RISK.
Q: Are there opportunities for Signalysis partners or customers to participate?
A: Absolutely. In fact, I encourage it. One of the great things about working at SIGNALYSIS is that these guys are all a bunch of NVH nerds and scientists and they LOVE sharing knowledge! I can’t think of a better way to help someone than getting to know them. Let’s have a conversation, let’s get to KNOW EACH OTHER……let’s communicate……but with a microphone in between us so everyone can hear.
Q: What’s something you’ve learned since starting work at Signalysis?
A: Well, one thing I’ve learned is that these guys make it look easy. Every morning when I join the DAILY TEAM MEETINGS….I am impressed with the ideas, concepts and solutions these guys come up with. So I guess you could say that I have learned that I have a lot more to learn.
Q: Have you always been interested in media work?
A: As a kid and adolescent I did everything from making skateboard videos, acting in school plays, DJ’d for friends and family, played guitar in high school bands, emcee’d mixtapes, produced garage band videos………so I’d say YES, I’ve always been interested in MEDIA WORK.
Q: What do you like best about your job?
A: I like the fact that I can be me. I like that I am encouraged to add my own spices to the ingredients list when it comes to producing INFORMATIONAL and HOW TO videos.
Q: What else is planned for 2020?
A: Under “normal” circumstances I may have given a different answer….but now that we are many months into Covid-19, I’d say SMD (Media Department) plans on shifting gears and pumping up the volume of videos I produce……as in Getting Faster and making MORE……especially since it’s a good means of communicating while maintaining social distance.
