Twitter is trialing a new monetization model… selling people statues of its old logo for $100,000. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Amazon prepare to collectively cut 38,000 jobs. That leaves Apple the only member of the OG FAANG family as yet untouched by layoffs.

Demo videos are an essential part of any successful product launch, but knowing where to begin can be tricky. The first step?

Get ✨ inspired. ✨ The 15 Golden Kitty Award nominees for 2022’s most outstanding Product demo video include Descript, Air for Teams, Clay, and Chptr.

From live action demos and animated explainers to behind-the-scenes and presentation-style launch videos, you’re sure to find the right creative fit and format to showcase your features among the nominees list.

With only one day left to vote, our annual Golden Kitty Awards are already shaping up to be a great trend thermometer for the tech industry. Last year, Web3 was the #1 most upvoted category. This year, it’s not even cracking the top 10. AI, on the other hand, is on the rise from #7 to #3, with No Code putting up a good chase.

There are a few categories that rise above the ebb and flow annually, like Developer Tools, Design Tools, Productivity, and Product of the Year ⁠— where heavyweight nominees include BeReal, Polywork, and ChatGPT.
