Problem: Capital Campaign Communication

Columbia Academy was embarking on an ambitious Capital
Campaign. As a part of that campaign, they needed to
succinctly tell their story repeatedly to a wide
variety of audiences.

They needed the audience to not only hear their message, but to be inspired enough to take action.

Solution: Professional Videos Promoting the Message

Columbia Academy called upon Advoco Films to create a series of professional, high-quality campaign videos that they could use online and in-person over the course of the next two years.

Advoco Films created two powerful campaign videos that showcased the impact of Columbia Academy’s mission and the importance of their fundraising efforts. By incorporating visuals, music, and interviews with key stakeholders, Advoco Films crafted a narrative that effectively conveyed the message of the campaign.

Result: Funds Raised in Record Time

The videos were distributed and promoted by Columbia Academy’s staff, faculty, administration, and fundraising consultants not only online but also at events, meetings, and presentations where they could make a greater impact on potential donors.

As a result, Columbia Academy was able to reach their goal in record time and completed their campaign under budget.

We needed a strong video to help us tell our story to our community. The video that Advoco Films created for us is both moving and powerful. It is helping us raise the money we need for a major capital campaign. Dave and his team understand the challenges facing nonprofit organizations today and know how to talk to donors about an important program, cause, or project. We couldn’t be happier with the videos they produced. I would highly recommend them to you. God bless you!

Several years ago we embarked on a large capital campaign project to build a new community center in Buffalo, New York. We met Dave and Advoco Films, through a mutual partner, and quickly became friends. Working on several projects over the span of 3 years we had the opportunity to see their work in several different avenues. The videos Advoco Films created for us helped us raise millions of dollars for our new community center.  They also coordinated the details for the AV portion of two of our annual Gala events, and oversaw the technical aspects of our groundbreaking ceremony, topping out ceremony, and ribbon cutting ceremony. The team at Advoco Films has a strong attention to detail and are committed to excellence in all they do. I am happy to recommend them to you for video and event work for your organization!

I have known Dave for about 5 years now. He and his team of very talented professionals not only get the technical aspects of a stunning video, but they understand the power of storytelling and they do it well. We have used Advoco Films several times to create videos for us that move people to action and tell our story with compassion, empathy, and truth. Dave and his team have proven their commitment to excellence in all they do. We are thrilled with the projects that they have done for us, and we look forward to many more!

I first met Dave and his crew at Advoco Films while they were filming the promotional videos for our capital campaign. The videos were a great addition to our marketing, but I want to use this opportunity to comment on their skill at coordinating and running the AV at our recent Gala. Honestly, it could not have gone smoother. Not a glitch in the entire night. Their work was so seamless you almost didn’t know they were there! The evening was a huge success, thanks in part to a great job by Advoco Films. If you are holding a major event for your organization, I am confident that you will be happy with Advoco Films’ work behind the scenes. I would 100% recommend them.

Advoco Films not only did a great job on the videos for our Capital Campaign project, they somehow captured the essence of who we are and wove everything together into a compelling video. I am grateful to the team at Advoco Films for their obvious servant’s heart and their commitment to nonprofit organizations by putting their money where their mouth is. Their pricing, their delivery timeline, their follow-up, and their willingness to serve us in additional capacities have proven their character over and over. I would highly recommend Advoco Films to help your organization tell its story well.
