The YouTube Effect

As Nancy Schwartz (see below) reminds us, a well-crafted tagline is a crucial component of any nonprofit brand. But with the rapid emergence of YouTube, nonprofits increasingly need to think about where video fits into their communication strategy.

As you and your colleagues start to think about that, also keep in mind that there is video -- and then there's this brilliant, award-winning video crafted by the Zurich office of Euro RSCG Worldwide for the Zurich Chamber Orchestra.

Great emotions, indeed.

That's fantastic. I want to watch it again and again.

It's the visual and aural equivalent of the "Let the music take you there," the tagline of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra.

And I gotta say, the video does it even better than the words (although this is a great tagline).
