St. Jerome’s University (SJU) has launched an innovative tool aimed at entertaining and engaging a new breed of tech-savvy donors. We teamed up with HuStream Video, a video production agency based out of Kelowna, BC.  HuStream has produced videos for student recruitment in the past and we’re excited to use their technology as a donor engagement tool.

The new Giving to SJU Interactive Video is a series of short, informative video clips that highlight the needs and opportunities for giving, tied together with navigation buttons embedded right into the clips.

Donors can follow SJU student Maggie through a campus tour as she shares how their donations make an impact. The user controls the tour by clicking on the videos they want to see, resulting in a ‘choose your own adventure’ type of experience.

We wanted to create a video that was designed to not only inform prospective donors about SJU, but also provide a way to entice a generation that would often prefer to watch a video than read a letter.

The days of reaching donors through direct mail campaigns alone are a thing of the past. We’re proud to be leading the way in giving our current and prospective donors the opportunity to learn about us in a new way.

Don’t just take our word for it, visit us and enjoy the adventure!
