UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA | Promotional Videos & TV

The University distributes the video on DVD. Stage 2 also reworked the video as a TV commercial for airing on local television. The response from prospective students was extraordinary. Due to the immense success of the first video, the University tapped Stage 2 Studios to produce two more videos profiling the Aviation and Culinary programs.

HEATSOURCE MECHANICAL | Viral Video, TV, & Internet

In 2007, Stage 2 developed a new website for HeatSource Mechanical. The site was a great improvement, but HeatSource needed to attract new visitors to the website and inform the community about their expanding services. Stage 2 produced a viral ad about a rampaging furnace dubbed "FurnaceZilla". The campaign started with a limited TV ad run. The ad directed viewers to a curious website address: "FurnaceZilla.com." At that minisite was a quirky experience that encouraged users to share the commercial with friends. HeatSource.com website traffic increased more than 1,000% in the first week after the launch of the viral ad campaign.

ALASKA FAMILY SERVICES | Promotional Videos

Alaska Family Services employs a staff of over 100 through more than 20 diverse agencies. However, the organization was not widely recognized or appreciated even in its core service areas. To raise awareness for the AFS brand, Stage 2 created a dynamic three minute video. Through simple titles and a strong music track, the video conveys the heart of the mission of Alaska Family Services.

More about DYNAMIC MEDIA:

The philosophy behind dynamic media is simple: your organization performs a critical mission, and that mission needs recognition. Big business knows that to reach audiences today, you have to cut through the advertising clutter. You have to excite and captivate. You have to be unique. By producing dynamic video and website solutions, Stage 2 studios offers small and medium clients the ability to stand out and be heard.

Of course, any production is only as good as the content, and Stage 2 has earned a reputation for putting client messages first. The creative process does not begin with fancy concepts and flashy ideas. It starts with hearing your story. Who are your people? Who do you serve? How is your organization unique? Only a solid understanding of your mission and your audience will produce an effective campaign.

The results clients see from dynamic media campaigns can be astonishing. Instead of fighting for funding, people step forward and give. Instead of begging for volunteers or members, individuals show up and pitch in.

Every organization is different and the examples listed above may not be right for you, but chances are there is a solution that will make a difference. And that difference could be huge.
