Stage 2 Launches 2009 Campaign for United Way of Mat-Su

Stage 2 Studios, LLC has announced the launch of the 2009 United Way of Mat-Su campaign video. Stage 2 produced the new video which is now being shown throughout the area as part of United Way's annual fundraising campaign.

The video highlights the surprising generosity seen in the face of 2008's overwhelming need. Despite an economic downturn, the United Way of Mat-Su saw more volunteers and more financial contributions than any prior year.

Stage 2 also redesigned the United Way homepage to integrate the message of the video with the website. The site features an interactive flash animation and a link to the video.

Last year's campaign, also by Stage 2, was recognized by the United Way of America.

"I was BLOWN AWAY by their campaign video," said Jenny Palazio, Director of Membership Accountability for United Way of America. "They kept it simple and powerful and told a great story...Fabulous video — one of the best I've ever seen in 23 years."
