Motion content results in 1200% more views, 83% more shares, and 95% more retention.* Yet, many companies still rely on legacy print and digital media to disseminate their sustainability content.

Reel Impact Films, founded by multiple New York Times bestselling writer Thomas Kostigen and award-winning documentary film director Tim Neeves, produces short-form, branded content stories for commercial as well as internal and external communications distribution, tailoring content to specific platforms to heighten reaction and response.

“Having spent more than 20 years directing and producing documentaries and films for NGOs, brands, and for commercial production, the explosive growth of sustainability reporting has put the spotlight on both public and private companies to do more social issue storytelling. Our expertise can help brands more quickly overcome messaging challenges and boost engagement among stakeholders of all kinds—shareholders, customers, employees, and B2B partnerships,” Neeves said.

“We’ve identified a strong niche with branded shorts and an alternative distribution model that many companies and organizations aren’t aware of, nor take advantage of,” said Kostigen. “Short-form documentaries can catapult a brand’s success and ignite higher engagement. We can show them how.”

Short-form documentaries can succinctly elevate brand storytelling and promote core corporate values.

Whether it’s a publicly traded technology company turning from simple text to video its annual sustainability report, a fashion brand showcasing recycling efforts, or a financial services company promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, motion-driven content is critical to success in today’s media environment.

RIF’s powerful, proprietary offering is coupled with a unique data and analytics component that complements and promulgates marketing campaigns.

RIF also utilizes Artificial Intelligence to enhance production efficiencies, storytelling impact, and cost savings.

Kostigen further explained, “We use AI in the development process to create efficiencies and utilize our deft experience and subject matter knowledge during production to effect brand authenticity. It allows us to compress production schedules, saving time and money, and to leapfrog the learning challenge that many production companies face; we are deeply familiar with environmental, social, and governance issues.”

To be sure, no matter the process, engagement comes down to story.

“We specialize in putting human faces to stories, and the way in which we do that is unique—reverse engineering stories and weaving goals throughout the narrative. Our films are very much about actionable takeaways. They have a sense of purpose,” Neeves said.

Kostigen is the author of numerous bestselling books on social issues, most recently co-authoring with Academy Award-winning actor. Robert Downey, Jr. He is a former global ethics columnist for Dow Jones, and climate change columnist for USA Today and Discover magazine, as well as writing for film and television. Neeves is a veteran filmmaker whose credits include documentaries and branded content for Netflix, Nat Geo, ITV, NBC, and numerous directed distribution platforms. Both have spent much of their careers crafting stories from urban to off-the-grid locations and have a network of local production service and creative professions around the globe.

RIF concentrates on the European and North American markets, as well as the growing Saudi and MENA region, where it has multiple productions completed and in development. The company has offices in London and Los Angeles.
