We're Cottage Creative.
We make videos that help schools and brands tell stories people actually feel.
Every week you'll get a new blog post and story tips, and we'll be chiming in with fellow marcom folks. Maybe BTS?

Keep being awesome.

A recap video is a great way to say thank you. A fundraising video has a different job: helping donors feel why their gift matters and who it reaches.
Giving Tuesday is Dec 1. Here's how we approach both, with examples from our work with Indian Creek School.

A day and a half with the bees, and why we let our plan go.

With @CottageComs, I spent a day and a half in Sanford, NC with Michelle and Nathan Maust of Homespun Honey.
We had a plan on our drive down.
When we go there, we threw out our plan, followed the bees, and let the quiet do the work.

Homecoming happens once. If nobody planned to film it, it's gone. Our new post on school video planning: why a season (or a year) ahead pays off, plus a simple story calendar for the school year. cottagecreativehouse.com/202…

"What do you need from us before we start?"
We hear it all the time. Mostly a conversation: your goal, your audience, where the video will live, and any videos you love. Skip the deck.

Branded storytelling gets thrown around a lot. For marcom teams, it really just means finding the true story already inside your school or company and telling it so people feel it.
