Rob Patmore is an international TV fundraising specialist and video storyteller for non-profits, trading as Crossbow Film. Crossbow’s mission is to use film to open people's hearts to good causes that connect to their values and interests, and then engage them in supporting long-term projects.

As a DRTV (Direct Response TV) specialist he also runs TV fundraising campaigns for clients, buying airtime, setting up digital response through search and QR codes, and poring over results spreadsheets to optimise response and ROI.
