CES Partner Spotlight: National Geographic brings digital 3D to life

Leading up to CES, we’re turning the spotlight on our partners to get their perspective on what’s happening in digital 3D. Today, we’re pleased to chat with Lisa Truitt, President at National Geographic Cinema Ventures.

What makes National Geographic a great company?

To me, National Geographic is a company like no other. At our core, we are a non-profit organization with a mission to inspire people to care about the planet. We send the world’s best explorers and scientists, including the most promising up-and-comers, to all corners of the globe, and we then share their discoveries and passions with the world through the power of great storytelling. Our profits go right back to fund more exploration, research, conservation and science work, and that makes it a very inspiring place to work.

National Geographic is also such a well-respected and loved brand, with a targeted, loyal audience, and a global reach of more than 400 million people around the world each month. We have vast media and outreach assets, including TV, digital, social media, print, gaming, mobile, publishing, licensing, education products, travel excursions, live events, and more. Over time, National Geographic continues to reinvent itself on new platforms, and has been at the forefront of embracing new technology to continue to engage consumers with our powerful storytelling. I feel so lucky to be a part of this organization, to spend my life creating entertainment that matters.  Continue reading
