Our Work

Organizations that succeed in being heard have one thing in common - a story to tell. They tell it well and they have a strategy to ensure it connects with the right audience.

Nine Island Communications will help you tell your story.

Our partnership with Nine Island was exceptionally helpful for staff in Memorials Universitys Division of Marketing and Communications. We recently transitioned from a 50-year-old print publication to an entirely digital storytelling format, and the training provided by Nine Island ensured that all our content creators were able to effectively utilize the video capabilities of their smart phones and video editing software to produce feature-rich stories. Nine Island delivered exactly the training we required, on time and on budget.

We’ve worked with the City of St. John’s to provide media relations training for their councillors and senior executive team. Our training has helped this group of municipal leaders better prepare, respond, deliver, and react to media inquiries further supporting their community outreach and engagement.

Nine Island is the agency of record and co-producer of the annual telethon for the Janeway Children's Hospital Foundation. These videos showcase the storytelling and creative elements that help viewers connect to the children who receive care at the hospital and motivate them to donate to this great cause. Our visual storytelling skillset supported the Foundation in achieving record breaking donations throughout the course of our time as agency of record.

Nine Island provided training for the university’s marketing and communications team to shoot and edit their own video. This training allowed staff to achieve their goal of taking its target publication, The Gazette, completely online. The publication is now more dynamic, interactive, and personable through their visual storytelling capabilites.

Capturing the corporate stories that motivate employees and connect them to the business is important. We work with this national insurance company to write a monthly newsletter focusing on specific lines of business. The newsletter keeps employees up-to-date on what's happening and provide timely updates on strategies as well as business results.

Nine Island Communications supported BabyFriendly-NL in the development of videos to help generate awareness around breastfeeding children in hospital and in the first few weeks and months post delivery. We also supported the organization in the development of a social media campaign where memes were used to help promote and raise awareness. The memes were then developed into an interoffice video loop to be used at various health centre locations and by lactation consultants when working in the field.
