Case Study

Charleston County Ecocnomic Development

The Relationship

We’ve been working with Charleston County Economic Development to showcase the amazing strides they’ve made in the Charleston County business community. Through our long-standing relationship, we’ve created a whole library of content ranging from creative storytelling pieces, to longer form content highlighting the growth in the region.

Storytelling Through Industry

Most recently, we’ve had the opportunity to dive deeper into telling the stories of local businesses and how the support of CCED has been instrumental in their success. This series has given us the opportunity to get creative with our storytelling, letting the ethos of each unique business guide our creative direction. 

“Vive Media combines creativity, professionalism, and execution at the highest level. Since 2020, I've had the pleasure of working with Vive to help bring Charleston County Economic Development’s story to life through multiple impactful video projects, including our 30-year anniversary film. Their team is incredibly responsive and consistently produces tremendous work while managing sophisticated coordination with our partners and the existing industry in a thoughtful and respectful way.”

Milestone & Recruitment Films

The city of Charleston has grown so much over the past decade, and we’re proud to be able to tell the story of that success through our work with CCED. Over the years, we have created a handful of both short form and long form videos highlighting the growth of the region – from a brand film where we interviewed 12 local business leaders, to a scripted piece created to share the story of Charleston’s success and encourage other businesses to call Charleston home.
