Short Docs
Founder Stories
As part of a larger campaign, we created a short doc series profiling outstanding local entrepreneurs.
The profiles focus on specific challenges, perspectives, and career stages.
Karla Santi | Blend Interactive
Karla Santi founded Blend Interactive, a nationally recognized web design firm. Today Blend solves web problems for massive hospitals and large colleges. This success was forged through a long path of challenges.
Walter Portz | Helen’s Plan
Walter was a successful commercial photographer. When both of his parents died, he was frustrated with the complexities of their final arrangements. Walter believed the period after a loss is for grieving, not paperwork. This inspired Walter to build an online estate planning platform.
Social Promos
A cross-platform social campaign featuring teasers & excerpts. The release of this campaign was tied to the promotion of upcoming events and programs. Additional assets including photography and transcript excerpts were used to create blog content.
