StoryNow Vision
StoryNow emboldens and equips organizations to use the power of video storytelling to advance their mission. We provide consulting, training and technology so great socially-responsible companies, nonprofits, and government agencies can use video storytelling to raise funds, increase revenue, inspire volunteers and employees, and boost the wellbeing of those they serve.
We believe video storytelling—used strategically–fuels transformation. Video stories can cut through the clutter of distraction, capture people’s attention and motivate them to give, buy, empathize and change. We believe the very act of telling your story on video can promote healing and growth. We are living in the Story Economy and video stories are the currency of the day. We desire to help those doing good maximize this asset.
