In June 2025, our team at 9:16 Stories was entrusted with capturing Sayaspora’s sold-out event, “Making Your Way Up.” Our mandate was clear: document the energy, the impact, and the emotion — and make the audience feel it, even after the event was over.
We approached the production with agility and creativity, designing a video strategy that aligned with how Gen Z and millennial audiences consume content: short, shareable, and emotionally resonant. At the same time, we ensured that Sayaspora’s key stakeholders and donors were represented with dignity and care, so they could clearly see the impact of their support.
The results?
✔️ 6 high-quality videos capturing the full essence of the day
✔️ Over 40,000 organic views across platforms
✔️ A digital archive that makes those who missed it want to attend the next one — and those who were there proud to have shown up.
At 9:16 Stories, we believe the job doesn’t stop at capturing the moment — it’s about translating it into a visual story that extends the life and legacy of your event.
