First Look

The Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce is a membership-based organization with a responsibility to promote and refer our members first. In 2021, a weekly video campaign series called First Look was created to encourage people to give their first look and consideration for goods and services to our members. Over time, a partnership was formed with the ORHS Broadcasting Department to take on these projects, and each semester a group of students has produced a new batch. First Look videos have been a fun, creative way to inform the community about our members! Check out our Youtube Channel to enjoy!
