All of the extraordinary work that charities do depends completely on the support of other people.
And so it goes, in order to keep doing what they are doing, charities need to successfully garner (and keep) people’s support, by conveying the importance of the work that they are doing.
This needs to be done in a way which achieves the highest impact possible. Not only describing what achievements are being made, but also successfully demonstrating the importance of this work, and the good that it is doing for the wider world.
Often, however, this is easier said than done.
Viewers might be completely new to the nature of the work that your charity is conducting. Or, they might not be aware of the issue (or the extent of the issue) that you are working to combat.
This is why, in many cases, text alone is not enough to achieve the required level of impact.
Video content is the most effective way to evoke a powerful, emotional response from the viewer, which moves them enough to make a donation. In fact, recent research has shown that brands that use their videos to strike an emotional chord with their audience can achieve as high a success rate as 31% in their marketing efforts.
What’s more, the combination of audio, visuals and closed captions will maximise understanding, and help ensure your viewers comprehend all the nuances of your message.
By enlisting professional charity video production services - like those offered by OK Social - you can create highly engaging and emotive videos, which are easily understandable, and convey your message in a clear and authentic way.

When it comes to charity video production, the key elements that should be considered are:
Did you know that videos are consumers’ favourite type of content?
According to research by Animoto, videos are the content type that audiences most want to see their brand share on social media.
By investing in charity video production, you can use this fresh new content to not only promote your brand, but also a specific action that you would like your consumers to take.
In most cases, this will include fundraising drives. But, it could also include increasing awareness of the brand, highlighting recent success stories, responding to urgent needs, or promoting a new initiative or campaign that you’re launching.
By using the steps and strategies outlined above, your new content can achieve the maximum possible impact. Then, to amplify the content’s benefits even further, these new video materials can be circulated across all of your digital channels, to help promote and drive home your charity's objectives.
Recent Statista research found that 43% believe that a lack of in-house skill was a big challenge, preventing them from using video content to its full potential.
