Company: Bumbuku Creatives
Bumbuku Creatives (Bumbuku), is an Amsterdam based Award-winning Digital Storytelling Agency, expert in Social Impact. Their mission is to increase impact of change makers by helping them communicate their data and messages with their audience by digitalising their data, campaigns and trainings by the help of data visualisation, animation videos, infographics, digital illustrations, websites. They work with any social impact organisations like; NGOs, non-profit organisations, universities, museums, municipalities etc. and work for social responsibility projects of companies. They help these organizations reach a wider audience with efficient digital storytelling strategies. They also conduct trainings on digital storytelling for the organizations to help these organizations tell engaging stories and communicate their messages with their own audience in an efficient and self-sustainable way.
Storytelling is the best way of communicating information and data to a wider range of audience. Digital technology can help elevate the practice of storytelling as a means to construct a strong communication between the scientific world and the public. Animation videos and infographic images have the capability to provide useful information with pure clarity in the shortest amount of time. We aim to communicate the findings of the research community to a non-scientific audience and to help them utilize the research findings in practice.
