Brand videos can come in different shapes and sizes, but they should leave the audience with a sense of what your brand does and values. The Evans Scholars Foundation sends caddies/students to college, and supports them with a network of resources and connections. This video highlights the organization’s mission of supporting students from caddie to college to career.
Brand videos can come in different shapes and sizes, but they should leave the audience with a sense of what your brand does and values. Gerber manufactures kitchen and bathroom plumbing products. This video highlights some of these products, but focuses on the “why” more than the “what”.
No one tells the story of an organization better, or in a more compelling way, than those direcly affected by the work. These types of docu-style videos are the perfect way to share client stories at fundraising events. It shows the audience, typically supporters, why their donations are so important.
Nonprofit organizations often get asked about their mission - what services do you provide, who do you service, why support this organization? A brand or mission impact video is a great way to answer these questions. Hear directly from those who serve and are served, and the reasons these organizations do the impactful work they do.
