How Christian Service Center’s Dedication to Central Florida Helps 1,000s of Homeless

Creative marketing, driven by dedication and innovation, has the power to inspire meaningful change and align communities with purpose. Each year, Appleton is honored to help activate change at the local level by partnering with Christian Service Center for the Homeless. This nonprofit organization diligently works to prevent homelessness, combat poverty, and provide services that support families and individuals struggling in Central Florida. As with years past, Appleton was tasked with using the art of video storytelling to produce a featured series for use at Christian Service Center’s annual banquet.

Each year, Christian Service Center hosts its banquet as a primary fundraising event for its mission. The goal of this event is to bring honorable recognition and inspire others to be the change for future communities. Appleton was proud to create four videos; one includes Christian Service Center’s brand mission and impact, and the other three to showcase the award winners.

For every video marketing project, the Appleton team focuses on brining a signature process to life, handling everything internally from the first spark of an idea to the final polish. When working with an organization as impactful as Christian Service Center, it was essential to authentically reflect the heart of its mission and the difference its team makes in the community. Strategic utilization of a storytelling approach to convey this mission was crucial, using real voices through interviews and testimonials, paired with purposeful editing to highlight the organization’s work. Explore the finished videos to see how we captured the spirit and story of Christian Service Center.
