How you can help.
Projects will come and go, but what matters most are the people you surround yourself with and in this case, protect by creating space. Remember, while a big part of relationships may be physical, it’s the emotional connection created through the experiences we share and empathy we give that brings us close.
The world needs storytellers, now more than ever. So take a moment to be thankful for what you have, find comfort and perspective from the little things and give what you can to others in need.
We are all in this together, even if we are apart.

WHAT WE ARE DOING
As with many of the other amazing creatives in our community, we are following CDC recommendations and taking the necessary actions to ensure our space and most importantly, our people are taken care of. Additional precautions are being taken to ensure that our studio is safe for all who chose to come through, in addition to creating opportunities for both our team and our partners to work remotely.
Technology makes so much possible in today's time, that while a new normal will be established in the coming weeks, we must continue to create, we must continue to tell stories.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS
acowsay has always pushed for unique and innovative ways to maximize the reach of the content we create. So while making plans for the upcoming months, remember the following and know we are here to help.
Take Inventory
Content that was created and is driven by the values you hold true never go out of style. Those stories are needed today. Stories of hope, of great accomplishment and celebration, or overcoming great odds. Share them as a reminder of what is good in the world.
2. Repurpose
New platforms have burst into the scene over the past year and those same stories above can be reworked, reformatted and enjoyed by a new audience. Combine past projects, united similar messages and from something old, create something new.
3. Collaborate with others
Creatives must come together to share their resources and lead by example to meet the needs of the brands and companies that depend on and need their messages shared. Whether it is helping facilitate a studio shoot for someone without, helping film and hand off footage for those unable to travel or reducing and waving royalty fees for stock footage, it all can and will make a difference.
Each of us will be affected differently by the changes in our personal and professional lives. acowsay is committed to continuing to provide services to our clients in addition to keeping our staff and partners employed and working. Not everyone will fare the same so remember to support local small business, to continue investing your time and resources in the community and take only what you need while giving all you can.
