About

Cause Effect Agency was founded and is led by Chris Talbott, filmmaker and member of the Sundance Institute Collective. He learned first hand the positive power of celebrity support while helping Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon produce Academy Award-winning Dead Man Walking. Since and during that time he has been telling stories with social impact through his plays, videos and this agency.

How can celebrity support help your cause?

  • Credibility

  • Exposure (press and social media)

  • Funding through events, appearances and corporate sponsorships

  • Access to influencers including politicians, media producers and corporate and cultural influencers

Cause Effect Agency notably helped Heifer International grow from a $17 million organization to one that raises over $100 million per year. We did so by strategically cultivating powerful and passionate celebrity supporters, who showed up repeatedly over a period of years and helped us recruit their celebrity peers. Eventually we were mobilizing and coordinating dozens of celebrities, artists and media makers into media placements, fundraising appearances, publicity stunts, video campaigns, celebrity-penned editorials, social media, music videos, events and much more. When talented compassionate people share their dedication to a cause it creates a ripple effect.
