Testimonials

California Closets worked with Olivia O’Connor and Don’t Tell Summer on our brand film called All of Us. I had admired Olivia’s work over several years and the storytelling prowess she has with combining the business of a brand with the humanistic energy that is the true source of its ability to impact the world.

Olivia as both Director and Producer is incredibly intentional around her whole process from pre-production, through filming and into post-production. She has great patience and her communication style is both gracious and seamless. The result for us was a piece of which we are proud because it reflects the inner feelings and actions of our brand of Belonging. She is a truly sincere storyteller and a professional with the highest standards of ethics and practice.

ING partnered with Don’t Tell Summer to bring our community investment program Dreamstarter to life. For years prior we had been working with social entrepreneurs to help them grow their sustainable businesses but always behind the scenes. With Olivia's vision and creative direction we were able to bring the stories of our Dreamstarters to our customers and public and give them a wider voice in the market. The fact that Olivia is so passionate about businesses that make a difference added an authentic and personal quality to each content video. Shooting on location across Australia and in Finland, Olivia captured the essence of Dreamstarter which is very special. We loved working together and so grateful for the huge contribution.

"Olivia these videos are incredible. You have done an amazing job. Congratulations on capturing a very authentic story and weaving Dreamstarter into it so seamlessly. I am so pleased that Dreamstarter got traction this year (with applicants). Thank you for everything you have done to help achieve this."

We worked with Don’t Tell Summer on our crowdfunding campaign; Dreamstarter in partnership with ING. Olivia is a talented Director who has a great ability to bring stories to life. The film and social video content made a significant impact on our viewers, customers, and community. It inspired them to pursue their own dreams and connect with our brand and story in an authentic way. Her team is a pleasure to work with and truly helped us bring our project to fruition.

Our team worked with Don’t Tell Summer to develop the concept, creative direction, and video production of a paid advertising campaign. The goal was to target social entrepreneurs and founders encouraging them to apply for grant funding through the client's program.

Olivia has a unique ability to tell a story that encapsulates the campaign strategy and end-user journey through the eyes of film and content. The perfect mix of creative direction and agile strategy.

Olivia's background in psychology gives her an advantage in reaching and delivering emotional content. With her director skillset, she is well suited to convey emotional content, bring it to the forefront, and connect with the audience. For the uniqueness of this campaign, applicants were required to fill out and complete an extensive grant application. Through the course of the campaign, we were able to reach unique users that met our demographic target and we were able to deliver highly targeted and qualified applicants for our client, meeting and exceeding their expectations from past year programs.

The Don’t Tell Summer team’s ability to react quickly allowed us to run A/B testing on the go. This allowed us to create a mix of content or adjust current content based on data collected from the target audience. Being so adaptable was a key factor in being able to achieve the results that we did.

I loved working with Olivia and the beautiful video she created for my collaboration with MGBW. She asked all the right questions to let the story of the collaboration unfold. She combined the audio with the most stunning videography. Working with her felt easy and effortless during the actual shoot and the results really reflected that!
