I started Tribe Pictures half a lifetime ago because I loved making films and telling stories.
I learned early on that the stories that make a difference are the ones that move people. In business, that means moving people to take action. We’ve done that. We’ve told stories that have moved people to:
- Take new jobs
- Follow new leaders
- Buy new products
- Embrace new missions
- Donate more than $8 billion to charities and other institutions
Whether we’re taping a single interview, or shooting a multi-part video series in locations all over the world, we get the job done. We move people to take action.
What action do you need your people to take?
Corporate videos don’t have to be boring or blah.
Let’s make one that…
- Tells your story
- Explains the “why”
- Humanizes your company
- Raises needed funding
- Rallies your tribe
We’ll have your audience leaning in— not tuning out.
Can a video really move the needle? See for yourself…
When Actavis and Watson Pharmaceuticals decided to merge, everyone involved had concerns and questions.
We tapped into the optimism and commitment of their employees to inspire confidence and paint a picture of a brighter future together.
See how we’ve inspired other brands.
