Today, I talk with Kwami Ngaojia, Chief Relationships Officer of Beard and Bowler, to discuss this critical topic.

Kwami provides valuable insights on creating emotionally impactful and financially successful program videos, including how mission videos are essential to any gala signature fundraising events, the similarities and differences between a gala video and a community impact video, how shorter videos are more impactful than longer videos, and so much more.
