A few months ago, many business owners and marketing professionals had never heard of Zoom. Now, thanks to a global pandemic, we find ourselves dialing into virtual meetings several times a day using this video conferencing platform.
We have to admit that we’ve enjoyed getting a behind-the-scenes peek at our colleagues’ home office environments – especially all the dogs, cats, and infamous babies who know how to make a special appearance (and always during your most important meetings). But sometimes, it’s nice to conceal the messy desk space with a fun and scenic background image.
We’ve experimented in virtual travel by placing ourselves on tropical beaches and at the Golden Gate Bridge. But what we’re really missing most is the unique and beautiful scenery of our amazing city, Richmond, Virginia. That’s why we’ve partnered with our friends at Journey Seven to create a series of RVA Zoom backgrounds—and we invite you to download the photos to use on your next video call.
If we can’t visit RVA hotspots together in-person (for now), at least we can enjoy them virtually!
