How Are You Using VIDEO?
Inspirational Videos
Emotionally connect to your audience with inspirational videos. Nonprofits, CEOs, executives and brands with deep-set missions can easily connect to larger audiences with this type of content. This builds emotional connections that go beyond most marketing content, leading to customers that love what you do and want to support your company.
Product Videos
Demonstrate the purpose of a product by telling the stories of people who have benefitted from it. Record users using your tech or medical product. You can even highlight the people who created the product. Show your audience why they won’t want to go another day without your product or software in their life. Whether it will make your customers’ lives easier, inspire them or make their businesses more successful, product videos can confirm the value of what you have to offer.
CEO/Executive Team Videos
Form stronger relationships with your gala’s audience by premiering a video that shares the personal journey of your CEO or a team member. Identify a nonprofit leader or software developer who has made an impact and share what inspires them. Turn viewers into brand ambassadors by showing them the people behind the company they love.
Honoree Videos
These videos hush rooms full of hundreds of people. You’ll never find an audience more emotionally connected and captivated than by a video that tells the story of a thought leader or philanthropist who has earned the highest honors in the room. Create honoree videos for your next nonprofit gala or awards ceremony, inspiring your audience to donate or emotionally buy in.
Mission Statement Video
Visually connect with potential clients by creating a video that shows why your company exists and tells the story of the impact you’ll leave on the world. These make perfect material for trade shows and expos, or can be built deliberately for conference introductions. You can also use a mission statement video on your event website and in social media campaigns.
Keynote Speaker Stories
Stir up excitement prior to your event with keynote speaker stories. Compel potential conference attendees to purchase tickets and add authority to your speaker. You can also capture footage of the keynote speaker to utilize as part of your social media strategy after the event.
Brand Videos
Promote an upcoming event with an interactive video that tells your brand’s story. Embed your custom video on your event website’s home page and add it to a digital marketing campaign.

Storytelling Marketing Agency FAQs
Is cinematography important in visual storytelling?
Yes. Cinematography captures the tone, mood and style, helping to tell the story with strong, powerful visuals. We have crews with various cinematographic styles, allowing us to select the right team for your corporation’s event.
Why are you so passionate about storytelling?
Storytelling emotionally connects people to brands. It leads individuals to not only become invested in a brand, but to become an ambassador of that brand themselves. We love stories that incorporate personal journeys. This passion led us to start an original content series called True inspirations, which follows interesting people and tells their own powerful stories. You can view that series and more of our work here.
Why is storytelling a powerful tool for events and conferences?
Storytelling is a remarkable way to help your event’s audience understand the why — the reason your company exists, the purpose behind your product launch, the story of your keynote speaker or why you are so passionate about your new direction or vision. You are getting people excited about you and your company by emotionally connecting with them and setting the stage with a high quality and creative production.
