Success Stories Page — YouTube Videos and Business Logos

Overview

The Success Stories page (renamed from "Business Success" during the ^[1] pre-launch review) requires two categories of assets before it can be finalized: YouTube video links from Kathy and high-resolution business logos from Tracey. Neither asset set had been delivered as of the December 2 meeting.

This page is part of a navigation dropdown that also includes sub-pages for Spotlight and Business of the Year.

Asset Requirements

YouTube Videos

• Owner: Kathy Schmitz
• Status as of 2025-12-02: Not yet provided for the Success Stories page (only homepage videos had been supplied at that point)
• Process: Kathy will browse the VCEDC YouTube channel (link shared by Tracey), copy the relevant video URLs, and email them to the AAG team
• AAG action: Pull videos directly from YouTube using the provided links and embed them on the page

Business Logos

• Owner: Tracey Pilsner
• Status as of 2025-12-02: Previously upscaled versions no longer available; Tracey needs to redo the upscaling
• Source: Logos are typically pulled from business websites, then upscaled using an image upscaling tool
• Known challenge: Featured businesses rarely supply high-resolution logo files directly; website grabs + upscaling is the standard workaround

Context

This came up during the ^[2] as part of a broader push to finalize all page content before the December 15 launch. The Success Stories page was explicitly called out as blocked on client-supplied assets.

"I think I gave you that whole list of other videos to put on the actual success stories page. I believe I did, if I didn't, let me know."
— Kathy Schmitz

"They're usually not very kind in giving us their logo… I just did an image upscale, but I'm going to have to do all that because I didn't keep it — my upscaled previously are gone."
— Tracey Pilsner
