PULLING AT THE HEARTSTRINGS
“People don’t always remember what you say or even what you do, but they always remember how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou
Preach it. Maya Angelou is so right. Emotions drive our decisions and feelings about a person and product.
It’s important to use emotion in video storytelling because you have to stand out in the crowd. Video is becoming the most popular medium on the web. Authentic stories full of emotion will connect your brand to your audience. The story is what will pull on their heartstrings and their purse strings.
LLS - Donate Today to Help Find a Cure to Cancer - John Shumate from Hatfield Media on Vimeo.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the largest voluntary cancer research agency specifically focused on finding cures and better treatments for blood cancer patients. With the scope and scale to fund many projects at the same time, LLS supports hundreds of cancer scientists around the world. LLS funds hundreds of promising researchers at leading cancer centers and universities worldwide. And since LLS has no campus or laboratories to maintain, your investment funds more research and less overhead than a donation made elsewhere. Many scientists, clinicians and clinical trial participants have developed and improved current standards of care over time. It takes about eight years to develop a successful new drug. The time to invest in new therapies is now.
The video below highlights the many ways in which your donations make a difference. Hearing from the men and women, boys and girls who have suffered from this disease makes it all too real. They are on such an incredible journey - fear, sadness, joy, pain. All are applicable. Their spirit carries them through the darkest of times.
Please take a moment to watch, and if you are able, you may donate here: https://donate.lls.org/lls/donate
