And to maximize everyone’s time and commitment, we recommend bundling multiple photo and video products into any proposed shoot.
Shay Mitchell – Voices for Change
Somaly Mam Foundation supporter and star of ABC’s Pretty Little Liars Shay Mitchell wanted to get a closer look at the work the foundation is doing in Cambodia before she assumes a greater role as a public face for the organization. Cause Effect Agency founder Chris Talbott joined the trip along with a professional cinematographer and produced a series of videos to maximize the long-term impact of her visit.
Hannah Teter – Sponsorship Experience
Cause Effect Agency conceived and produced a series of short videos for Children International to illustrate the impact of individual child sponsorship with Olympic medalist snowboarder Hannah Teter, Gabi Viteri and Monyca Byrne-Wickey during a field visit to Guadalajara, Mexico.
Cows Take Manhattan
Cause Effect Agency devised this attention-grabbing spectacle in the streets of New York to help Heifer International launch its first ever “Pass on the Gift Month.” The cows caused such a stir, they were invited to appear the next morning on The Early Show on CBS.
Alton Brown – Pass On The Gift
When Heifer International donor Alton Brown generously offered his time, talent and Atlanta studio (with crew!), Be Square Productions, Cause Effect Agency and Heifer co-produced a series of TV, radio and web PSAs, and a photo shoot, all in one hectic day. The 30-second version of the video below, cut as a television PSA, has aired for millions of viewers so far, and inspired The Colbert Report to invite Heifer onto the show (to view that segment click here).
Holiday Time in Brooklyn
To promote Heifer‘s alternative holiday gifts, we produced and directed this video for an original Dan Zanes holiday song.
Photo Assets
Publicity is fleeting. Photos provide a lasting endorsement, but they must be of the highest quality to warrant reproduction and to reflect well on your organization’s commitment to quality work. Cause Effect Agency produced a series of photos that have helped brand Heifer International’s uniquely successful model for ending hunger and poverty.
