Amy Ziser Events produces events that tell your story with high production value while​ engaging and entertaining your audience.

Tell your story...
Are you seeking an effective way to update donors about your organization’s needs?  Most nonprofits have been faced with new challenges during the pandemic, and sharing how you’ve pivoted and what you need in order to succeed is perhaps more critical now than ever.  Your virtual event can feature the people, stories and performances that make your organization unique.  With your mission and story in mind, I can help craft an engaging online event that educates and inspires.
With high production value...
Zoom fatigue is real, and your virtual guests are becoming more savvy about online events every day.  You have a short time to make a lasting impression, so ensuring a high production value really matters.  With great picture and sound, creative use of overlays and backgrounds, interactive functionality and more, you can set your virtual event apart from the daily grind of online meetings — keeping your donors interested and creating an optimal environment for giving.   

With your event budget and goals in mind, I can ensure high production value by:
  • Creating and managing a virtual event run of show
  • Assembling and managing an experienced team from my growing network of trusted resources, including video production professionals, streaming experts, recording studios and more.  You’ll be in good hands, and won’t need to worry about streaming bandwidth issues, clunky transitions or technical snafus.
  • Providing options and ideas on using technology for the most effective storytelling, from incorporating a TikTok dance tutorial to using Prezi Video for a CEO’s address to selecting which platform to host your event on and more
  • Coaching speakers and performers with best practices for filming from home, and sourcing any needed equipment (microphones, lighting, etc.)
  • Integrating your existing fundraising software seamlessly into the virtual event, or sourcing new software, if needed (there are lots of great new tools available for online events)
  • Helping craft your auction or fund-a-need appeal with emerging best practices for virtual events
  • Providing pre and post-event promotion and attendee communication
...While engaging and entertaining your audience
Online events often can feel passive and lonely, reminding us more of what we’re missing out on (not being at an in-person event) instead of successfully tapping technology to create something fresh and new. I’m committed to providing solutions for interactive, creative at-home events that are unique to your mission and needs. There are lots of ways to spice up virtual events, from interactive overlays that allow guests to engage from home — whether in quizzes, polls and voting “clap-o-meters,” to small-group “watch parties” (as COVID-19 restrictions begin to loosen), contests, competitions and more.
While all of us miss being together in person, virtual events actually offer a number of advantages over traditional fundraisers, including:
  • Fast production time - events can go from concept to live stream in as little as 4-6 weeks, depending on scale and complexity
  • Low cost relative to in-person events - without the expenses of a venue, catering and more, organizations can save significantly
  • Ability to engage and access donors worldwide - you’re no longer limited by a venue’s geographic location or size
  • High-value content created for the event can be repurposed after it’s over - virtual event segments and highlights can be shared via multiple channels​
