You hope to make a powerful impact on the world. Yet at any moment, the wind could blow in a different direction, the government could change, funding could evaporate and you’re relying on grants to keep the lights on.
DCS has a sensitive understanding of your situation and are happy to go the extra mile.
But I’m too shy to go on camera…
DCS is working with many not-for-profits from people with disabilities, vulnerable people in vulnerable situations, children overcoming difficulties and people in emotional turmoil. We have a high consideration of privacy and safety.
We never want to rush anyone or make them feel uncomfortable. We take the utmost care for them to present themselves in the best light possible on camera. We’re down-to-earth and make it fun.
The videos needs to be visually easy to understand. Captioning, transcripts and audio descriptions help to be inclusive to all audiences.
An extra layer of sensitivity is involved.
Pull on the heartstrings and you’re pulling on the purse strings…
DCS believes that when the facts and the figures are forgotten, your story is remembered and retold.
There’s no better way to connect and inspire action than through emotional storytelling.
Speaking in the words of the person affected by a situation and how you helped them rise above and beyond, cant just be told… It needs to be shown.
And when the viewer feels the voice and sees the whites of the eyes of the person who overcame adversity. Magic happens.
We want to connect and enhance that feeling with powerful music to inspire them to give generously with a strong call to action.
It’s critical to produce telling stories that tug on heartstrings and pull on purse strings.
They’ll not just tick off the video production box on the government grant, but leave you with an incredible asset that will continue to deliver your message in a way that the viewers can retell to others.
Something you’re proud to call your own.
The stronger the connection the more generous they are…
Fun-draising is meant to be fun.
They’re competing to raise money on your behalf. To help your cause. They call in favours from friends to contribute and they need a great story why…
Give them a video that beautifully summarises your impact. It should share the story of an individual and how their life is better because of you. How they overcome massive adversity and here they are.
You want people to feel how that person felt during their darkest hours, but then pull them out of that feeling into a beautiful place of excitement for how you helped them.
Now they’re keen to get behind and support what you’re all about.
They also need to connect with your team and hear some terrifying statistics of the adversity you face. Showcasing your services and letting them know how to donate.
They’ll now know, that when they’re giving money, it’s not getting eaten up by admin fees, but going towards impacting lives.
But were a NFP, how much is it going to cost?
We have a deep empathy and understanding of your situation and the need to be resourceful with your finances.
We offer special rates for not-for-profit organisations based on the scale of the project.
We are here to develop a long-term ongoing relationship where we continue to tell your story together over time. We’re not here to just make a quick buck. We want you to be successful, feel successful and create impactful results with all of the work that you do.
Make me an offer I can’t refuse…

“Josh and the team at Digital Content Studios (DCS) produced exceptional videos that directly contributed to receiving the single largest donation our sector has ever seen—over $2 million. The quality of the work DCS produced enabled us to promote a deeper understanding of our project within the community, significantly increasing support.
Each year, we host a major charity fundraiser at the National Gallery. A highlight has been the compelling videos produced by Josh and DCS, which vividly tell the stories of the organisations we support. I can confidently attribute the increase in our fundraising—from $60-80K per event to now over $250K—to the enhanced storytelling capabilities that DCS brought to our campaigns.
Working with Josh feels effortless. Most of us are not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but Josh and his team ensure that everyone feels relaxed. The scripting is always outstanding, and their involvement goes beyond mere commercial interests. They are as dedicated to engaging with the community as we are, adding significant value to our work.
We are immensely grateful for the professionalism and support that Josh and DCS consistently provide.”
“Digital Content Studios (DCS) provided expert creative advice and exceptional production services for our recent NACCHO national conference. Moving away from the typical, static podium production, Josh and his team established a dynamic in-house studio, where interviewees participated in a separate room. This setup was streamed live on YouTube, significantly broadening our reach to delegates, sponsors, and keynote speakers across the internet and on social media platforms.
Josh’s enthusiasm was palpable and spread to our staff, delegates, and speakers. He offered invaluable guidance on how to present effectively during live streams, ensuring that everyone involved delivered engaging and informative content, which was also broadcasted on our conference website.
Additionally, DCS produced a culturally sensitive, long-format video that reviewed the year’s achievements, which was met with enthusiasm by our conference attendees.
DCS also extended their expertise to the production of studio sessions for Lowitja Live and National Science Week, featuring multi-camera setups for three-person interviews. These sessions included comprehensive services such as catering and makeup for all interviewees, ensuring a professional and comfortable environment.
Thank you to Josh and the DCS team for their high-caliber professional services. I highly recommend them for their innovative and thoughtful approach to video production.”
“You may have seen the BIG NEWS with the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard being passed by Federal Parliament last night!!
We are very proud of our role – as part of the movement – in getting a strong new standard and the flow on to more affordable electric vehicles on the market.
And I hope you’re also proud of the part you have played in helping to create such good content that helped get the word out. Well done!”
