Transforming the invisible impact you make in the lives of people into Human-Proof that can be seen, felt, and acted on.
We locate the right people inside your community, filter for the stories that genuinely prove your value, and capture the authentic human story on camera.
It is exactly what your investors, donors, and partners are hungry to see. Audiences want to believe the organizations they support, and video is the most powerful way to earn that belief. But the market is now flooded with AI-generated content. So ISSIMO films what is real. Real people. Real stories. Real places (on location). Proof you can see and feel.
It also creates the proof that non-click search and AI is looking for so your organization can be found by your customer. Findability for the bots. Believability for the humans.
We do that through Case Stories, Cinematic brand film, Movement Manifestos, Animation, Fundraising films, Full-length documentary, and Social media storytelling.
After a decade of working with Fortune 100 brands like Google, Goldman Sachs, and eBay, we pivoted to focus on making a difference for those making a difference in the world: impact asset managers, social entrepreneurs, foundations, NGO’s, nonprofits, cause brands, B-Corps, and purpose-driven companies.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
What impressed us most was Issimo's ability to enhance and expand upon our creative vision. We came to them with the seed of an idea, and they helped cultivate it into something far better than we could have achieved on our own. They were thoughtful partners throughout the process, worked within our budget, made our team feel comfortable and confident during filming, and delivered a polished, high-quality final product on schedule.
Are there any areas for improvement or something ISSIMO Story Agency could have done differently?
I was really pleased with the work Issimo created for us. I have no criticism whatsoever, but if I were to think about raising the bar, it would have helped us to discuss the b-roll and stock videography ahead of time to avoid revisions. Not a big deal at all.

ISSIMO Story Agency produced a 3-4 minute video for a nonprofit's annual fundraising event. The video featured the voices of the organization's alumni, corporate partners, and grantmakers.
The video helped the client raise $2.55 million, exceeding their goal of $2.5 million. ISSIMO Story Agency's project management was stellar, and the team always delivered on time. The client was particularly impressed with the creative use of AI in the film.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CMO of NPower, a national nonprofit that provides tuition-free tech training, personalized support, and job placement to help young adults and military-connected individuals launch successful careers in the digital economy.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What specific goals or objectives did you hire ISSIMO Story Agency to accomplish for your mission of supporting young adults and military-connected individuals?
Each year, we seek to build a story that helps explain to audiences new to NPower the value and impact of our work, primarily through advocates and those who benefit directly from our direct service training. This creative and illustrative story helps move hearts and minds during our annual fundraising event and long after. The video from ISSIMO sets the philanthropic tone for the evening.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
ISSIMO produced a 3–4-minute video that included the voices of alumni from our program, corporate partners who support and see the value of our work, and grantmakers who believe NPower's work is the gold standard. The video aligns each year with the theme of our fundraising event and takes a different approach each time to how that story comes together creatively. My team helped with the overall theme and booking interviewees, but ISSIMO did the rest.
What is the team composition?
We worked with 2–5 teammates from ISSIMO.
How did you come to work with ISSIMO Story Agency?
We met ISSIMO at a conference. We chose them because their pricing fit our budget, they were a great culture fit, their company values aligned with ours, and we were impressed by their work.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from August–October 2026.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We raised $2.55 million against a goal of $2.5 million this year. I attribute a portion of that $500,000 increase to the emotion and connection the video made in the room. The video was well-received and got lots of applause.
How did ISSIMO Story Agency perform from a project management standpoint?
ISSIMO's project management was stellar. The team always delivered on time. We communicated via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The most impressive part of ISSIMO's work this year was the creative use of AI in the film.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, it was perfect.

Our Story
Core values
PEOPLE FIRST: We are one human family. We prioritize relationships over transactions.
GET TO THE HEART: We seek to really understand. We challenge assumptions. We ask the hard questions. When we get to the heart of the issue, we can get to the heart of the audience.
WE BELIEVE IN STORY: The shortest distance between two people is a story. Stories can change the world. Flm/video is the most powerful medium for storytelling.
What Sets Us Apart
A thinking partner, not a video vendor
Most engagements start by clarifying the story itself, which often reshapes how a client talks about their work inside and out. As one put it, "we went in wanting a video, what we got was alignment on our story." The film is proof the story works. Strategy first, production second.
Complexity made simple
We take messages that are hard to explain, in impact, healthcare, finance, or social good, and make them land with both the head and the heart. Clients describe reaching "simplicity on the far side of complexity," so their story moves donors, investors, and buyers to act.
Verified means Clutch independently confirmed ISSIMO Story Agency is a legally registered business, financially sound (Creditsafe: Very Low Risk), and backed by 2 verified client reviews averaging 5.0 stars.
