BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.

We link employers, industries, and communities with high-potential talent while helping veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses navigate the personal challenge of career transition.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What specific goals or objectives did you hire RaffertyWeiss Media to accomplish for FourBlock Foundation?
We needed support to attend our events and serve as an extension of our team.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
RaffertyWeiss Media works closely with us to capture both video and still media content. Beyond simply recording, they help craft and package that content for strategic marketing purposes. What sets their team apart is their deep understanding of our mission and model — they don’t just collect media; they curate it. Using the footage and imagery they gather, they create compelling, on-brand messaging that communicates our story effectively and amplifies our impact.
For the FourBlock Changemakers Gala, RaffertyWeiss Media provided comprehensive media production and creative services, acting as a seamless extension of our team and supporting the event from pre-production through post-event delivery. Their work began with the development of two high-quality pre-event videos designed to build excitement and frame the impact of FourBlock’s programs. This included full concept development, scriptwriting, executive direction, and coordination of interviews with key stakeholders and honorees. The team handled all aspects of production, from lighting and audio to cinematography, and delivered polished, narrative-driven videos that effectively communicated the mission and outcomes of FourBlock’s work.
On the day of the Gala, RaffertyWeiss Media implemented a full-scale media strategy. They set up both still and video pop-up stations to capture professional photographs of each attendee upon arrival, including a step-and-repeat station and an interview station for VIP guests using pre-scripted questions. A roving photographer and videographer captured candid moments throughout the event, including networking interactions, panel discussions, and ceremonial highlights.
In addition to media capture, the team moderated the event, managed the stage crew at the facility, and oversaw all live production elements to ensure the program ran smoothly. They produced and facilitated the live-streamed program, managing both the broadcast and real-time engagement by moderating comments to maintain an interactive and professional experience.
Following the Gala, RaffertyWeiss Media produced a Gala impact video and delivered the full photo viewing package within 10 hours of the event, providing FourBlock with immediate, high-quality content for marketing, donor communications, and social amplification. Across the project, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of FourBlock’s mission and audience, translating captured media into compelling, on-brand messaging and storytelling. By integrating strategic creative direction with expert technical execution, RaffertyWeiss Media ensured that every element of the Gala — from pre-event media through post-event content delivery — maximized impact, visibility, and engagement for FourBlock, its sponsors, and the broader community.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve seen progress and success through a structured workflow. We hold regular monthly and biweekly check-ins, and each segment includes a creative brief, pre-production planning, and final production asset delivery.
As a result, all deliverables, from pre-event videos to Gala highlight reels, VIP interviews, photography, and raw footage, are delivered on schedule, aligned with FourBlock’s brand, and immediately usable for marketing, social media, and donor communications. The process also creates a reliable workflow for capturing and leveraging event content for future use.
RaffertyWeiss Media’s content is integrated into nearly every media and marketing campaign FourBlock runs, so their work consistently amplifies our reach and engagement. For this particular event, the pre-event video became the foundation for printed materials, including our funding request, testimonials, and the Victoria McGrath Service Award honoree feature. The impact of this project was directly felt in helping FourBlock achieve our $1 million fundraising goal. The videos produced for this Gala will continue to support and drive future funding efforts significantly by providing compelling, on-brand content for campaigns, donor communications, and marketing initiatives.
Moreover, the event photography was a huge hit. Rather than a typical step-and-repeat, we used the museum’s WWII planes as a backdrop, and attendees loved the resulting images. The videos were also extremely well received, bringing tears to the audience during the program. Overall, the event production was recognized by attendees, donors, and stakeholders as an outstanding and highly professional execution.
How did RaffertyWeiss Media perform from a project management standpoint?
RaffertyWeiss Media’s project management has been excellent. They deliver all assets on time and consistently exceed expectations. Having worked together for many years, they’ve become deeply integrated into the fabric of our mission, and we plan to continue partnering with them for as long as possible.
What did you find most impressive about them?
What we find most impressive about working with RaffertyWeiss Media is that they truly understand our work. As a veteran-serving nonprofit, every step we take is focused on advancing our mission, and RaffertyWeiss takes on that mission as if it were their own. They consistently deliver media that is not only high-quality but also fully aligned with FourBlock’s values and goals. Their partnership is so well-integrated that they feel instrumental in helping us achieve our mission and maximize our impact.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There’s nothing they need to improve.
