3 Million views: the experiments that inspired our founding

 

Before establishing MOYO, our founder led the creation of an experimental campaign and product experience for a major nonprofit, including a video that served as a core element of the social media strategy. Previously, the most views any of the organization's videos had received was 58,000. With virtually no promotion, this video garnered three million views on Vimeo and YouTube.

The YouTube version, which has about 500,000 views, is embedded below. 

This video was part of larger, integrated strategy that evoked extraordinary passion around the world. Helping to raise millions of dollars in a short time, it showed the power of a product experience designed around transparency, immediacy, and authenticity. This experiment and others were the inspiration for founding MOYO.

Since our founding, MOYO has continued to create integrated, multichannel experiences built around the principles of the Intimacy Era for clients like CARE. For an example, see the highly successful #DreamWithHer campaign

This is not fluffy stuff


We don't do things because they are "cool." We do them because they work. And we have the numbers to prove it.

a little history of big numbers

Talking about innovation is easy. So is following. Leading is really hard.

Having someone in your corner who has created a vision, taken the risks, and achieved results is important. We'd like to be in your corner.

I've been privileged to travel the world and see the powerful spirit of those in need. I've also seen the extraordinary passion of donors when they are allowed to become a part of the unfolding story of someone reclaiming their health, dignity, and dreams.  

MOYO was founded to help organizations that are determined to walk boldly into this new era, explore innovative ways of connecting people of different circumstances, and make a profound difference in people's lives. 

If that sounds like you, drop us a line through our contact form. I'll respond personally to discuss your goals and how we might help.
