The Power of Storytelling

What’s Your Story?

Powerful and inspiring stories unite people and create strong emotional bonds.  Making a strong emotional connection with your audience translates into the highest degree of motivation, loyalty and activism.

As the multimedia experience takes center stage on the social web, the opportunity for your organization to utilize multimedia storytelling as a means to inspire and motivate your audiences has never been more within reach.  We can help you creatively brainstorm the possibilities and even produce web-based programming.

Social Frequency offers you the unique opportunity to employ the talents of experienced documentary filmmakers, composers, graphic artists and photographers to artistically capture and bring to life true stories reflecting the mission, philosophy and experience of your organization.  The cost of such projects have never been more within reach and we can help you develop a sponsor and/or grant-based funding strategy to help underwrite the expense.

Capture their minds and you will have them for the day… but capture their hearts and you can connect them for life!  Below is an example of WCG Cooks, an online cooking show web series Social Frequency produced for the White Chocolate Grill restaurant.

Association Publishing Magazine Features Social Frequency’s Stuart Meyer in September/October 2009 Issue

My advance apologies for the dreadfully ego-centric sounding headline above.  I simply wanted to make sure this posting was optimized for search engine results… or “SEO” as it is called… which translates into posting views and insures that this story might reach a wider audience.

As many of you know, I’ve spent the second half of this year making the transition toward living and sustaining my life purpose.  This wonderful article, written by the very talented Carla Kalogeridis, provides a deeper perspective on how I am working to translate my humbling gifts and talents into my daily vocation as composer, filmmaker and not-for-profit social media consultant.

Earlier this year, as a step along this journey, I voluntarily composed a theme song (click here to listen) for the Association Forum to be used as a source of motivation for all the not-for-profit association professionals out there who have weathered a very difficult year.  The title of the theme song is “Go the Distance” which pretty much says it all to anyone from any walk of life who has endured this year of economic heartbreak and setbacks.

Within the past couple of months, I was contacted by Association Publishing Magazine about their interest in writing an article about the story behind this piece of music.  If you click here you can read the full article.

As the journey continues, I also invite you to support my current documentary film project, Imprévu – The Kenneth von Heidecke Story, which is an inspiring story about a blue-collar Midwestern kid from Chicago who faces unimaginable triumph and tragedy in pursuing professional and international acclaim in the world of ballet.

When I first met Ken, I knew this was a powerful story that had to be told in a way that is as uniquely creative and as beautifully artistic as his life.  This film will not be your typical documentary, but rather an emotive and inspiring cinematic journey that well leave audiences reflecting, and hopefully acting upon their own inexhaustible purpose and calling in life.

Please join the official Imprévu film group on Facebook by clicking here where you can read our production diary dating back to 2008, listen to clips of film music I’ve composed and see our growing collection of production photos. I also welcome you to spread the word.
