The Data for Good department at Meta - Facebook wanted to tell the origin story of their Population Density Maps and how it was created. Our research found that it is especially important to show how this technology helps philanthropic organizations in their work to improve communities. We decided to use a clipboard style that animation that tells the story using both simplified graphics and biographical imagery.
The animation won two American Advertising Awards, four Telly Awards, was a big success in the philanthropic community and internally at Meta - Facebook.
“This is great! Well done. Measure Twice does amazing work!”
Citrix wanted to celebrate and appreciate the women who empower, elevate, and unlock the potential of Citrix. But how do we tell those personal stories while everyone is sheltering in place? Our solution was one of our first Video Production by Mail projects.
"We delivered the video last night and client is very happy. You did a great job making this happen—thank you for everything."
This American Advertising and Telly Award winning video was made for Data for Good, a division of Meta - Facebook. They were seeking a flagship video to build awareness about their philanthropic program. This was to be used on the top of their website and informative events within and outside of Meta - Facebook. We decided that meeting their marketing goal was to let their very appreciative partners champion their cause.
“Finally, after years of doing this work, we now have something that perfectly shows why our humanitarian partnerships are important.”
LAURA MCGORMAN | Policy Lead, Data for Good at Meta
We love events. Ever been part of one that went perfectly? Neither have we. Live moves fast; the moments come, go, and keep coming. Yet we’ve delivered content for over 100 events that looked perfect. The secret? Planning. Lots of planning. Knowing what we need to make each of those moments memorable.
We build Plans A, B, and C. That starts with previsualizations and a proof of concept to secure consolidated approval from all stakeholders long before load in. It means mapping the show down to the shot list: extracting maximum value from every opening graphic, keynote, executive testimonial, and interactive installation. It’s designing the complete visual ecosystem: the venue branding and signage, alongside every asset across the timeline. We produce it all, from the teaser trailers and “know before you go” explainers to the live stage bumpers and overnight recap sizzles, delivered for standard screens or massive, unconventional LED walls.
And when the live room shifts, we adapt, capturing the organic magic to build social capital that outlives the stage. The stakes are high. We take pride in being ready for the moments. Each one of them.
Bringing new tech to market is brutal. Is the tech so novel that investors struggle to understand? Have buyers normalized the pain for so long they take industry inefficiencies for granted? We can't make this process easier, but we can make it much more effective. Simple stories for the most complex new tech. Showing the impact so all investors and buyers can see the value, while teams get back to building.
And what stories are these? Executive and founder stories, pitch deck explainers, precise product captures and proof of concept vision videos. Clear messaging and customer validation that drive growth and retention. All content built modular to update as fast as the product evolves.
For incubators, Demo Days, Seed stage roadshows, and B2B and B2C pipelines. Teams build the product; we show the proof. From a pre-seed napkin set to full launch content and customer retention media, we want to know our partners and be part of their challenges and journey.

The deadline was short, the creative was ambitious, the talent was high profile, and the pressure was high. Less than 1 week to prepare 1 shoot day capturing 4 commercials, including multiple sets and Joe Montana sabering a champagne bottle. What could go wrong? We delivered, everything came together, it was fun, and everyone left with what they wanted, minus one champagne bottle.
“Thank you for getting us through all of this. Amazing job you pulled off. Clients are more than happy.”

The campaign focused on experiences, so the campaign involved multiple locations per day over multiple days and even more shoots.
