SolarPV.TV.

Summary
SolarPV TV vision was to become the world’s leading online video news source and voice for the solar industry. Through their online platform their aim was to  provide current news and educational information to the solar industry, but also spread its message worldwide. More than just being an information provider, SolarPV.TV aimed to unite all solar advocates and create a lasting movement of spreading the solar message to the general population.

Challenges
As a small startup from Belgium with big ideas and few resources, SolarPV.TV faced many challenges, including basics such as branding and professional marketing materials. They were producing low quality videos, and only had 1 semi-professional videographer covering only the European market. Their lack of human and financial resources made it challenging for them to grow and enter new markets.  While trying to enter the US market their challenge was working with a remote team that would understand their mission and vision and produce high quality videos, while building relationships with leaders and Executives from some of the biggest solar companies. As a small startup with big dreams, SolarPV.TV needed a solid and professional brand image, effective and efficient strategies, a reliable and dedicated team, and a large network of industry’s leading professionals and influencers.

Solutions
We stepped in offering a fresh look and our expertise to help SolarPV.TV reach their vision, building it from ground up. Once we analyzed the business model and familiarized ourselves in “then new” to us industry, we came up with a comprehensive roadmap which focused on producing a higher quality content, re-branding, creating high-demand new products and formulating the strategy for global outreach.

"1440 Countdown" Documentary Short
TheatreWorks Silicon Valley.

Documentary short on TheatreWorks' 1440 Countdown program where middle and high school students write, create and perform an original play in 24 hours.

 

Summary
TheatreWorks, Silicon Valley’s leading professional nonprofit theater company, wanted to create a mini documentary for their 1440 Countdown program, which gave students 24 hours to write, create and perform an original play based on a specific prop.

Challenge
TheatreWorks had specific challenges marketing the 1440 Countdown  program, including difficulty to articulate the program. It was hard for them to get grants and corporate funding, which they heavily relied on. The program was missing an online presence and TheatreWorks wanted an effective way to easily share it with its network. Realizing that words could do no justice to describe the uniqueness and benefits of the program - Theatrework realized they needed to utilize video.

Solution
The organization hired us to document the program and conduct interviews with teachers, mentors, judges, parents and students. Despite the short time frame and budget constraints, as well as the unpredictable nature of documentary filming, especially with young subjects, our 4 person crew was able to create an exciting story, showing this journey through students’ eyes, while depicting the indispensable qualities of the program.
