BRAND FILMS
A brand film captures the essence of what you’re all about, drawing in new audiences and sparking meaningful conversations. A compelling brand film resonates with your target audience, saying, “You’re our people.” While the core of a brand film is rooted in your values, the approach can vary widely—from heartfelt testimonials to imaginative, high-end commercials. The key is to leave your audience wanting more.
IMPACT STORIES
Impact stories reveal the powerful narratives behind your work and the difference you’re making. These videos offer a first-hand look into what you do and why it matters, often told through the eyes of a client. By showcasing the lives you’ve touched, you help people understand and care about your mission. Introducing those impacted by your work is crucial for gaining support and fostering a deeper connection with your audience.
SUPPORTER ENGAGEMENT
Supporter engagement thrives on regular, engaging content—think social media. The goal is to stay top of mind. Whether recapping an event, thanking a donor, or offering tips and advice, supporter engagement videos are crafted specifically for your already engaged audience. These videos keep your brand fresh and your supporters feeling connected. It’s the “I made this with you in mind” content that strengthens your bond with your audience.
