This is the second story from our year-long partnership with ATLAS Fellows.

When you build a storytelling system with an organization like ATLAS, you don't just find one great story. You build the framework to keep finding them, year after year.

Natalia's parents immigrated from Poland with a goal: build a better life for their daughter. She discovered a passion for finance as a kid, helping her parents manage household bills. That early spark led her to ATLAS, to Cornell, and eventually to a career in Manhattan.

Two stories. Two people shaped by sacrifice and opportunity. Both part of a larger donor engagement strategy for ATLAS Fellows.

The videos debuted at the ATLAS gala at MoMA in New York City, a night that turned months of strategic storytelling into real fundraising momentum.

This is what year-round donor storytelling can look like. Not one video. A system.

This is what a year-round storytelling system looks like in action.

ATLAS Fellows didn't come to us for a single video. They invested in a system to consistently identify the right stories, tell them with care and intention, and make sure they land with the people who need to hear them.

Anmol's story is one of those stories.

A mother who sacrificed everything to put him through private school in Chicago. A connection with ATLAS that opened the door to Cornell. Starting a career in finance in Manhattan and now the ability to give back to the family that gave him everything.

That story doesn't tell itself. It takes planning with our partners at The Proper Group. It takes a process built around knowing which moments matter, and how to bring them to life in a way that moves donors to act.

This was one of two feature videos we produced for ATLAS this year, both of which premiered at their annual gala at MoMA in New York City. A night of fundraising powered by stories that had been built with purpose, as part of a larger system.

That's the difference between having a video and having a storytelling strategy.

What a special night.

On Friday, we had the honor of celebrating 30 years of The National Domestic Violence Hotline at their gala. 30 years of advocates picking up the phone, meeting survivors with resources and support and standing by them in their hardest moments.

The Hotline has been there, 24/7, for three decades. The funds raised on Friday keep that lifeline open and make sure the next survivor who reaches out is met by someone who can help.

Thank you to The Hotline’s team for trusting us to produce the short film that premiered at the gala, telling the story of Josie, one of their incredible advocates. It was a true privilege to help share her story with the room.

Congratulations on 30 years. Here’s to the next 30.

Camdyn’s life was saved by the medical team at Ascension Seton Hays. Now she’s in college, continuing a future that almost didn’t happen.

We produced this video for the Hays Foundation to premiere at their annual fundraising gala last week. The Foundation spent time identifying the right person to profile and worked with our team to shape a video that would do two things: honor the medical team’s life-saving work, and show supporters exactly what their investment in this community hospital makes possible.

This is what a fundraising video can do when the story is real and the preparation is intentional. We're proud to partner with on this one.

Two days in New York City with our partners . Two ATLAS Fellows sharing their stories. One goal: help donors see the real people and real lives behind this program.

This shoot was for , a scholarship program that changes the trajectory of young people’s lives. The videos we’re producing will anchor their upcoming Gala, telling the story of their work through the voices of the people who benefited.

When a nonprofit can show the story of their work, putting real faces and real voices in front of donors, everything changes.

Behind the scenes from our shoot at the JW Marriott this week with FirstCall Mechanical capturing testimonials at their leadership conference.

We always enjoy partnering with teams who invest in their people and their story.

From the oil field to the finished product.

Here's a look behind the scenes from our recent shoot in South Texas with DeSouza Injury Lawyers...plus the finished spot we produced.

Always fun to show what production day looked like from our perspective, as well as the final result.

We're looking forward to another year of impactful work with nonprofit partners like ATLAS.

Last year, we partnered with ATLAS on this mission video highlighting one fellow's journey from the family business to Cornell to a career in finance in NYC. This video was shared at ATLAS's Manhattan gala in support of their fundraising efforts.

So grateful for the opportunity to help tell stories like this and excited for what’s ahead.
