How To Create a PSA Video That *Actually* Raises Attention & Inspires Action with Shannon Fitzgerald

Missions to Movements

I'd love to hear from you! Send me a text message here and let me know what you thought about the episode. :)

What if the key to turning your mission into a movement lies in the power of video?
Shannon Fitzgerald from The Hooligans Agency is here to reveal how creative video content can revolutionize advocacy and nonprofit work.
And you DON’T need a massive budget to make a significant impact.
You’ll hear the incredible story behind two “fake” horror movie trailers designed with a scrappy budget in less than a week (!) for Gas Leaks Action, that educated audiences about the dangers of natural gas.
These ads received a TON of earned media attention, even landing in movie theaters during Halloween season.
Shannon has one heck of a resume, going from Hollywood to spearheading 80+ campaigns for democratic and climate initiatives.
You’re no doubt going to learn so many practical tips for aligning your creative projects with your core values, and why the “MAYA Principle” is so special (it will help your content resonate more deeply!)
This episode is for you if you’re ready to elevate your social impact mission with video.
P.S. Join me for my Book Launch Tour at the Kendra Scott store in Sarasota, FL on September 18th! RSVP here.
