What defines
compelling?
Compelling content grabs and holds attention, making people feel emotionally or intellectually invested. It evokes strong reactions and prompts action through powerful storytelling, striking visuals, and relatable messages. It's not just about engaging viewers—it’s about creating something unforgettable that connects on a deeper level, making your story impossible to ignore.

This filmic, real-world documentation of the 4-day Inca Jungle expedition provides a glimpse of downhill biking through the Andeas, coffee picking in the high jungle, hiking a section of the Inca Trail, zip lining, hot springs, and the world wonder, Machu Picchu.Pie Experiences reached out with interest in making a documentary-style promotional video for there popular Inca Jungle expedition - the top rated tour they offer. They wanted the content to have broad appeal to anyone visiting their webpage and browsing their tours, but also tell a compelling story that would inspire a "Book Now" click.They didn't want to just go get a handful of shots from each location, and cut it to upbeat music. It needed to stand out, capture the whole journey, and dig deeper to tell a rich story about the tour and the activities included in the trip.

Oxford Fresh
Power & Choice
Project
Explore the depth, passion and commitment Oxford County producers have for growing good food, feeding their community, and engaging with customers who roll up to their farm stand guided by the successful Oxford Fresh map and sign program.The Oxford Country Federation of Agriculture in partnership with Tourism Oxford and Ontario Federation of Agriculture were looking to make a promotional video for the successful Oxford Fresh map and sign program to share on social media, but primarily live on their website.It needed to be short enough that most people click to watch it, but long enough to have some depth and key information that would inform the viewer and convert them into customers of the program.The main consumer barriers they wanted to address were the hesitation customers may feel driving up to a farm stand, uncertainty about the selection of goods and producer available, and awareness of the program as a whole.
Outcome
Our solution was to create a promotional video highlighting the broad abundance of goods and produce available across the county, projected through the voices and eyes of the producers themselves.This video showcases the labour and love that each producer invests in their work while expressing the philosophy, responsibility and joy they feel engaging with their customers and community.
