Support for this show is brought to you by our friends at Bloomerang. Bloomerang offers donor management and online fundraising software that helps small to medium nonprofits, like First Tee of Greater Akron, a nonprofit that empowers kids and teens through the game of golf.

You only have five seconds to captivate your audience. Video can help you stand out against the myriad of peers and competing messages. And best of all, 57% of people who watch nonprofit videos go on to make a donation (Source: Google).
So - how can small nonprofits use video to compel audiences to take action? How can video help build and cement emotional connections and increase donor engagement?
My guest today is Raffi DerSimonian. Raffi is a firm believer in the emotive power of visual storytelling, and has developed a range of strategies throughout his career to help organizations and institutions tell their unique story. He’s worked with some incredible organizations, including HBS, Clark University, Trinity College, Lafayette, Muhlenberg, Tufts, Seven Hills Foundation, Worcester State University, Maine College of Art & Design and others.
In this episode, we will explore the art of visual storytelling as it relates to creating emotional connections and driving measurable engagement. Check out Raffi's free Nonprofit Video Resource Guide as you create and market your videos.
