As part of this partnership, Scot Media Tulsa now offers its Event Storytelling Package to nonprofits, corporate organizations, and event planners hosting programs at The Vista at 21.

“We’re excited to officially partner with The Vista at 21 and bring our event storytelling services to nonprofits, galas, and corporate events across the Tulsa area,” said Jeromee Scot, CEO of Scot Media Tulsa. “This partnership allows us to help organizations tell their story in a way that supports their mission and strengthens the impact of their events.”

What Is Event Storytelling?

Event storytelling is the use of strategic video content to support an event’s message, mission, and purpose. Unlike traditional event video coverage, which focuses on capturing what happens during the event, event storytelling is created before the event takes place.

Event storytelling videos are designed to be shown during the event itself or used in advance to promote the event and its mission. These videos help audiences understand why the event matters, who it impacts, and what the organization stands for before the program begins.

How Event Storytelling Is Different From Event Recap Videos

Many organizations are familiar with recap or highlight videos filmed during an event. While those can be useful, event storytelling serves a different purpose.

Event storytelling focuses on preparation and intention. It is planned in advance, aligned with the program flow, and built around a clear narrative. The video content supports speakers, reinforces key messages, and creates emotional connection at the right moments during the event.

Instead of asking the audience to catch up after the event, storytelling brings them into the mission while they are in the room.

How the Event Storytelling Package Works

Scot Media Tulsa’s Event Storytelling Package is designed to support organizations through professionally produced video content created ahead of their event.

The process typically includes:

• Strategic planning to determine where video fits into the event program

• Interviews with leadership, beneficiaries, or key voices

• Narrative development focused on mission, impact, or purpose

• Professional editing and delivery timed for event use or promotion

Each step is designed to ensure the message resonates with the intended audience and supports the overall goals of the event.

Why Event Storytelling Matters for Nonprofits

For nonprofit organizations, events are often mission driven and donor focused. Event storytelling helps nonprofits clearly communicate impact, need, and purpose in a way that feels personal and meaningful.

Story driven video content can:

• Help donors understand the real world impact of their support

• Create emotional connection before a live appeal or fundraising moment

• Reinforce the organization’s mission without relying solely on speakers

By the time the program reaches its most important moments, the audience already understands the story.

How Event Storytelling Elevates Galas and Fundraisers

Galas and fundraising events are carefully planned experiences. Video storytelling allows organizations to control the narrative and pacing of their message.

When used strategically, video content can:

• Set the tone at the beginning of the program

• Introduce honorees or causes with clarity and emotion

• Create powerful transitions between program segments

Rather than adding time to a program, storytelling videos often make events feel more focused and intentional.

The Value of Event Storytelling for Corporate Events

Corporate events benefit from storytelling just as much as nonprofit programs. Whether the goal is internal alignment, brand awareness, or client engagement, video storytelling helps clarify purpose.

For corporate events, storytelling videos can:

• Communicate company values and vision

• Highlight leadership perspectives in a polished format

• Support product launches, milestones, or company announcements

Video allows organizations to deliver consistent messaging while maintaining a human connection.

Below are examples of video projects produced by Scot Media Tulsa that demonstrate how strategic storytelling can support events, missions, and organizational goals. Each project highlights a different approach to using video before or during an event to create connection, clarify purpose, and enhance the overall program experience.
