In 2025 we celebrated our 6th year as GLBAL media and went through our biggest refocus as a brand yet. In August of this year we announced that after 5 years of being a full service creative agency, we were narrowing our focus and choosing to provide video production exclusively for nonprofits. This change was not an overnight decision and lead to a lot of brand clarity and renewed direction for the projects we were the most passionate about.
Video Production for Nonprofits
In 2025 we were able to work with 23 different nonprofits to raise awareness, increase donations and help tell their story. With our nonprofit partners we produced over 550 videos and traveled to 3 different countries.
A couple of our highlights were:
- Traveling to Guatemala with Food for the Hungry to visit communities they work in and hear the stories of children whose parents had to flee to other countries in search of work.
- Filming in Ethiopia with the same team that we traveled to Cambodia with in 2024.
- Producing a 9 screen live fundraising presentation for a stadium concert.
- Hosting our first college intern over the summer. Thank you for joining us Danielle!
- Launching our nonprofit marketing video series.
In total this year the videos we produced were a part of raising over $20 million in donations. It’s humbling to think about the impact our team was a part of.
Feedback from our clients
The work our clients do motivates us to tell their story creatively and with dignity. We strive to make sure every person our team works with feels respected and comfortable being on camera. We love receiving feedback from our clients after filming and wanted to share some of these messages:
“They have the nicest team! I’m not very good at being in front of the camera, even if it’s to promote my work, but they were very patient with me and encouraging. Their system is set up so they can record anywhere and make you look great in any setting!” – Virginia W. (VP Designs Co. – Hey Westminster Recipient)
“These guys are the best ever! Thanks for helping us tell the Community Foundation of Carroll County’s story.” – Jaclyn M. (Community Foundation of Carroll County)
“Often in the most vulnerable settings — the GLBAL team captures stories with deep respect, cultural sensitivity, and integrity.” – Laurie L. (Holt International)
Community Involvement
Since our first year in business we have committed to giving back to organizations we believe are bringing the world together. We call it the GLBAL good. This year we were able to support the work of Ends of the Adventures and specifically the anti trafficking work being done in the Philippines by Wipe Every Tear.

In addition to our annual GLBAL good recipient, we continued supporting Hey Westminster with monthly videos for grant recipients, sponsored the CCRE annual conference and We Are Carroll Awards. After traveling the world we are proud to be from Westminster and love having the opportunity to give back locally.
Looking Ahead to 2026
Overall we are grateful to still be here… this year we witnessed many small businesses close their doors, some as a result of rising costs, others to get a break from the mental strain of running a business and some because of a lack of interest from their community. We watched as nonprofits had to navigate losing federal funding, SNAP benefits being stopped temporarily and overall economic uncertainty from donors. We were encouraged by the way our local community came together to support each other and the resilience and passion of the nonprofits we work with. We accomplished a lot this year and the impact our nonprofit partners are making goes far beyond what we’ll ever know. We’re excited to see what 2026 brings – whether it’s our next international trip, a new documentary or additional story-first video series.
