GOALCAST- Live the impossible

Finalist in Facebook Video

Entered in Fitness, Health, & Wellness, Storytelling

Objectives

This touching video resurrects a long-followed cultural truism that has often been forgotten in our lightspeed world: the bond of your word. A cautionary tale about the danger of not keeping your promises, the story compels you to look at your own relationship to the words you say and inspires you to be accountable to those you cherish most.

Elevate the consciousness; on the power of our promises and how it impacts lives. Words are not simply Air in motion, they are energy that can change destiny. 

At Goalcast we bring authentic storytelling aimed to empower individuals to take ownership and action of their lives. Through the power of storytelling, we help our audience find the courage to dream and the power to change. To create meaningful, engaging content, a story must be positive, inspiring and be told properly. We have the expertise to draw out and craft the most compelling stories on social media, which enables us to form deep bonds with our audience. 

Strategy and Execution

For the production of Busy Dad Gets Wake Up Call video, we revolutionized not just our approach to video making, but to all viral videos online - and the reaction of our community was incredible! By crafting a fictional scene around real-life events - delivered by those same people who had experienced them - we were able to inject an unparalleled degree of authenticity into the video. Such “fictional dramatization” struck a deep chord, as the inspirational message - packaged in a novel, snackable way - was seen by and engaged with by more than 60 million people.

We pour our hearts into each piece of content 

To create meaningful, engaging content, a story must be positive, inspiring and be told properly. We have the expertise to draw out and craft the most compelling viral videos on social media, which enables us to form deep bonds with our audience.

Every day, our team of curators digs through hundreds of stories to find the hidden gems that have the potential to move people on a profound level. Our creators then spend hours refining the narrative arc of each piece of content to maximize its viral potential and emotional resonance. Our insights team is on a relentless pursuit to deconstruct and reconstruct our knowledge of people and stories. We're all about impact over output.

We aim to unite instead of divide. We favour human, universally relatable entry points versus polarizing perspectives. 

We punch above our weight

Our team members are also all committed to their own personal growth. At Goalcast, we walk the walk, which allows the content we produce to remain diverse, authentic and impactful. This is also why we're a team of 20 people beating some of the world's largest publishers in terms of social media performance.

But what we find most rewarding are the messages we receive from some of our users about the impact that Goalcast has had on them. People who found hope when things felt hopeless. Stories of leaving abusive relationships or creating businesses. Stories of finding the courage to live life on your own terms.   

We bring together the best of social media & personal development

We collaborate with some of the most influential social media personalities in the health & wellness space (i.e. Tom Bilyeu and Lisa Nichols) while also giving a large platform to previously little-known storytellers.

We are more than a content production powerhouse, we've built one of the most inspirational networks of talent. Leveraging our network allows us to spread positive messages even further in the social media sphere and cut through the noise of negativity.
