Film and Influencer Campaign: Pew Charitable Trusts

A powerful film to create global change and #StopFundingOverfishing


The challenge: 

Although the WTO passed a groundbreaking agreement in 2022 to eliminate the most damaging fisheries subsidies, it still requires the ratification of 110 member nations to become enforceable.


The solution:

 In partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts, the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), and the World Trade Organization (WTO), we produced Change Makers, a documentary film with a focused mission: to stop taxpayer money from funding fisheries subsidies that contribute to overfishing. 

The film aimed to raise public awareness and inspire action, encouraging viewers to support the treaty by contacting their local trade representatives. Change Makers featured a high-profile cast, including actor Ted Danson (famous for Cheers), and scientists Daniel Pauly, Rashid Sumaila, and Jennifer Jacquet, who provided compelling insights into the urgent need for sustainable fishing practices. With additional support from Sony Music, we secured the rights to Billy Joel's evocative song "Downeaster Alexa," which underscored the film’s call to action.


To generate buzz ahead of the WTO Conference in 2024, we launched a social media influencer campaign with over 110 social media influencers agreeing to share the film's call to action. The film screened to WTO delegates, with a discussion panel including Canadian Ambassador Nadia Theodor. The film has since been screened at almost a dozen film festivals, winning several major awards and generating global support for the efforts to #StopFundingOverfishing.

Promoting Global Sustainability: Tyler Prize

Generating public attention for the Planetary Boundaries


ReAgency has worked with the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement for almost a decade, collaborating to raise the global profile of this exceptional award.  In 2024, the Tyler Prize was awarded to Johan Rockström, a renowned scientist whose research on the Planetary Boundaries framework has significantly influenced global sustainability efforts.


Our goal was to increase international recognition of the 2024 Tyler Prize Laureate, promote his groundbreaking work on Planetary Boundaries, and drive broader public engagement within NGOs, scientists, and students.


We developed a range of user-friendly Planetary Boundaries resources, combined with an international press effort and live award event in Potsdam, Germany, targeting key figures in the sustainability conversation. The results included thousands of social media shares, dozens of articles in mainstream media (including the New York Times and Wall Street Journal), and promotional partnerships with allies such as Conservation International and Virgin Unite to help push the Planetary Boundaries into the public consciousness.

Awareness Campaign: New York Academy of Sciences

Welcome to Our Third Century


The New York Academy of Science is a leader in engaging youth in science and innovation, through its programs such as ‘1,000 Girls, 100 Futures’ and ‘Challenge 2030’. However, acquiring funding for such programs requires effective messaging and marketing to an extraordinarily-challenging niche audience: donors. NYAS engaged ReAgency, with the business objective to drive donations amongst foundations, trusts, and high-wealth individuals, through the creation of video assets that could be used during fundraising events; such as the New York Academy of Science’s ‘Imagine 300’ Gala event. The assets would leverage the NYAS brand assets, brand reputation, and influencers to drive donations.


Careful messaging was key to the success of the campaign. ReAgency’s communications team worked with NYAS through several rounds of communication strategy and planning, including the scripting of the key video asset: the ‘Imagine 2030’ film. Communications messages were refined to meet the needs of sponsors and donors, and then built out into a video script. The script was then tested on representatives of the target market, and feedback was gathered on the campaign’s effectiveness. After final communications messages were locked in, we used archival photo assets from NYAS’s 200-year history, and filmed on camera interviews within influencers such as James Watson, Craig Venter, and Ted Turner (CNN), to add third-party credibility to the messages of innovation, integrity, and leadership.


The final marketing piece was screened at the NYAS ‘Imagine 2030’ gala, and raised over $1.6 million in donation commitments within 24 hours. This is just one case study of our ongoing marketing work with NYAS – we are delighted to work with the academy on a recurring basis to raise funds, increase youth enrollment in programs, and boost visibility of the NYAS brand.

Generating Business Investment: Academic Venture Exchange

Communicating Science to Investors


The Academic Venture Exchange (AVX) connects science and technology ventures to investors and entrepreneurs. AVX needed to educate potential investors on the benefits of NoMoDx, a concussion diagnostic device. ReAgency was recruited to make a short, informative video that included interviewing key members of the NoMoDx team and communicate the information in an easy-to-understand format.


ReAgency’s team of directors and filmmakers shot on location in two different cities to work around the NoMoDx team’s schedule while our producer liaised with academics and ensured that the medical and technical science was understood and accurate. This raw science expertise was then transformed by ReAgency into the best possible narrative so, using language most relevant to their audience – the video would be easily accessible to all investors.


This video is currently being shown to multiple investors by AVX to help NoMoDx gather funding, as well as being featured on the NoMoDx website.


Throughout this process ReAgency worked closely with AVX, maintaining a balanced and transparent relationship.

        Inspiring Carbon Neutrality in Queens

        Carbon Neutral Queens Strategy: City of New York 


        Goal: To help the New York borough of Queens achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 through infrastructure changes, community engagement, and policy advocacy.


        Context: Not satisfied with state and city plans towards zero GHG emissions, the New York borough of Queens wanted a strategy to achieve a “Green Queens by 2030”.  Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley commissioned ReAgency to develop a comprehensive strategy to make Queens the largest carbon-neutral city in the United States by 2030. The project involved deep research into current energy use in Queens and key emission points, drawing lessons from other cities like Boston and Denver. 


        Following consultations with environmental experts and stakeholders, ReAgency developed feasible and impactful solutions for the Queens Borough. The strategy laid the groundwork for new policy proposals targeting energy efficiency in buildings, transportation electrification, and waste reduction.

        Translating Science to English: NASA

        Giving Science a Visual Representation


        NASA and Princeton Satellite Systems are currently working together to construct a Fusion Rocket propelled by a Direct Fusion Drive (DFD) engine. Still in a theoretical state, they needed a visualization to produce for investors and events. Princeton Satellite Systems enlisted ReAgency to create an animated video that explained how the Fusion Rocket would work.


        ReAgency and Princeton Satellite Systems worked together to write a script that would simply, but accurately, communicate the complex science of the rocket. ReAgency’s designers then created animation in both 2D and 3D renderings that showcased the uniqueness of the engine and how it would propel the rocket. These animations were specifically designed to give both a realistic and simplified visualization of the rocket’s engine.
