THE PROBLEM
When we first connected with ATASK, they knew the importance of telling their stories. They hadn’t updated their online presence and the videos in a long time but knew that it was important. The problems they face sometimes mean that people in need may not receive they help that’s available to them. We needed to make the public aware of ATASK’s services and communicate their ability to speak multiple languages and understand these different cultures.
OUR SOLUTION
Our goal was to capture their stories in the most natural and authentic way possible. ATASK’s mission of helping individuals suffering from domestic abuse in the Asian population is so powerful and we’re proud to partner with them. It aligns with our mission of telling meaningful stories that drive positive change, and the people who work there are so genuine that it made the process very smooth and extremely fulfilling.
The result has been that they have heartfelt stories that emotionally resonate with their audience, covering the perspectives of both survivors and their internal team in order to connect with partners and individuals needing support.
