5 ways BDI harnesses the power of visual storytelling for your nonprofit
In fundraising, visuals rule. A compelling photo stops people (and scrolling thumbs) in their tracks.
On average, BDI’s nonprofit client partners see a 50% increase in viewer engagement when they use video in their digital media!
There’s no denying the power of visual storytelling. How can your nonprofit break through the noise of the never-ending content stream… to stop people scrolling and really stand out? See how authenticity and creativity can increase your impact.
Visual Storytelling Unleashed
At BDI, we’ve always championed causes through various channels. With our Media Production department, we’re diving headfirst into the world of visual storytelling to help nonprofits convey their mission with authenticity and creativity.
Here are 5 ways we’re harnessing the power of visual storytelling for nonprofits… and how you can too!
1. Crafting Impactful Narratives
Investment in media isn’t just about creating videos; it’s about crafting narratives that resonate and inspire. In a digital era dominated by fleeting attention spans, it’s important to make your message count. Authenticity is our cornerstone, and creativity is our tool, guiding us to stories that create lasting impact.

2. Streamlined Video Campaign Integration
If your nonprofit plans to capture video, it’s important to strategically plan how to maximize the potential of each video from the start. This means your investment is optimized, and each video serves its purpose effectively across multiple channels. Gone are the days of trying to work a standalone video into a campaign after the fact!
3. Cohesion Across Channels
A key advantage of having an agency (or in-house team) handling all your media is that there’s a natural cohesion across all your communication channels. Your video ads align seamlessly with your mail appeals, digital campaigns and social media efforts. It’s about presenting a unified voice and message that resonates consistently with your audience.
4. Cutting-Edge Technology and Expertise
For BDI’s client partners, our Media Production team brings your stories to life with the utmost precision and impact. We’re adopting state-of-the-art gear, leveraging the art of storyboarding and exploring cutting-edge industry techniques, including the power of AI. This commitment to innovation ensures that your message stands out in a crowded media landscape.
5. A Global Perspective
While local videographers have their charm, there are many advantages to collaborating with partners that offer a unique, global perspective. BDI brings together storytellers and media professionals with a focus on the big picture of fundraising. It’s important to consider current marketing trends and industry best practices when developing strong visuals to speak to the right donors, with the right message, right where they are. We believe in the power of stories that can touch hearts and minds across the world.
