“amazing things” – global pastor outreach

admin — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 16:28:58 +0000

If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Lucas Miles from Global Pastor Outreach, you know there definitely isn’t any energy lacking in his demeanor! This project came about from a need he had to promote his latest endeavor online, and during concert venues. Editor/Illustrator Ian Bennett and AP Kevin DeCloedt collaborated to write, animate, and finish this compelling video, which I’m sure makes Lucas even more excited to spread his message. Thanks to the band Sleeping at Last for being so gracious with their fine little tune “Umbrellas”!

Producing video content for a health system can often turn into an equipment & technology broadcast, or can easily become a litany of the latest corporate buzzwords. Thankfully, Kosciusko Community Hospital’s marketing department sees things a little differently. We were given the task of making sure the KCH story was told, and that the target market could also identify on a personal level. For KCH’s first ever TV campaign, the “Living Life” story is a refreshing look at the personal story of Rick’s Heart.

Goshen College is a small liberal arts college with a big story, and they needed to communicate this story to three different audiences: alumni, students, and potential students. “Student Stories”, which premiered during the 2009 Super Bowl, was designed to use current students to persuade potential students with the reasons Goshen College has provided a perfect fit.
