Great writers do far more than just arrange information on a page. They tell a story. They make people care. Like a pebble tossed into a serene alpine pool, ripples of clarity emanate from the writer's hand, and quickly spread in ever-widening circles of influence.
Lucid Media believes great writing lays the foundation of any effective message. Whether print or video, a strong script is where everything starts.
If you need writing that's informative, persuasive,
engaging, creative, and intelligent -
Lucid Media . . .
PERSUASIVE? EFFECTIVE?
Clients including universities and philanthropic organizations have used videos written by Lucid Media to raise more than a billion dollars in capital and endowment funding.
