Nonprofits can profit from a good promotional video
By Phil Santoro
When Mark and I met the met the very cool folks at the Massachusetts Digital Games Institute, we were blown away. MassDiGI is kind of the godfather of the digital games community in the Baystate. They offer leadership, guidance, and advice to students and professionals in this fascinating industry. The group is located on the beautiful Becker College campus in Worcester, MA. The school is perhaps best known for turning out the creative geniuses who are designing and building video games for entertainment and education. We were proud to produce a promotional video for the organization. And we recently received some terrific feedback about the video from MassDiGI executive director Tim Loew. “It’s been very useful; we got a lot of positive feedback,” said Loew. “We’ve used it in a number of settings – from small events to PAX East. When it was new, we showed it at board meetings and the like, too. Now we usually run it in the background these days. It’s on our youtube feed as well.”
Video Is Good At Telling Emotional Stories
We created two emotional fundraising videos that were shown to an audience at a pier in Boston.
Fishing Partnership Support Services saves lives and is vital to the livelihood of commercial fishermen in the Northeast. The organization needed to get its message out and so we helped them by creating two videos:
1.) An emotional video about the dangers these brave commercial fishermen face each day to provide locally-produced, organic food to the masses.
2.) A video that tells the history and the glory of the organization which has been supporting the health, safety, and economic security of commercial fishermen and their families since 1997.

It’s amazing what can happen to a website when you add even an inexpensive short video clip to the top of a page.
Netcracker, an innovative software company based in Waltham, Massachusetts, that offers a range of solutions and professional services to service providers around the world, asked us to produce a 40-second clip for the top of its new AVP page.
Adding the video clip to the page not only significantly reduced the “bounce” rate of traffic to the page, it doubled the time visitors spent on the page, from 2 minutes to 4 minutes, according to Netcracker’s Digital Marketing Manager Roland Stewart.
