Personalized Video for Education & Nonprofits
From applications to financial aid, the college admissions process can be complicated, especially when it’s remote. Make it easy with video, Gen Z’s favorite form of digital content.
To increase enrollment, welcome students with a personalized, shareable video. Add interactivity so they can click to submit deposits and include personalized next steps.
With Living Video, students can even input their specific financial aid needs to generate a brand new video in real time.
Don’t just reach out when you need something. Surprise and delight donors throughout the year. It can be as simple as a Personalized GIF, but personalization always creates a “wow” effect.
Great opportunities for engagement include personal milestones, like the first day of school or a monthly donor reaching their one-year anniversary, and special occasions, from seasonal holidays to World Humanitarian Day.
From high school to college and beyond, graduation is a major milestone. Give it the personal attention it deserves.
A personalized graduation video is especially relevant for online students who might not be able to make it to an in-person ceremony. Even better, it’s a memento they’ll want to share on social media, increasing your school’s brand awareness.
Make your next stewardship campaign your best one yet by personalizing your request.
Let donors see the difference they made with a personalized recap. Grow alumni engagement with dynamic scenes based on the alum’s major or graduation year. Easily explain and visualize the impact of legacy gifting and recurring donations.
When you show your supporters what matters to them, giving grows.

How You and Your Brand Can Use Personalized Video Messages
Between video calls and TikTok, we’ve seen a huge shift to video as the dominant form of content in recent years. One study found that people watch an average of 17 hours of online video content each week, with video noted as the most “shareable” type of online content. Of course, video is not a recent invention; it’s been around for over a century. What’s relatively new is that it’s easier to make and share and, with that, we’re seeing a shift from generic content produced for the masses to tailored videos made for smaller audiences or single viewers. Just think about your own day-to-day experiences. You’ve probably used video to share something intimate with friends on social media.
