'It Starts With You' digital, paid digital and print employee value proposition campaign, in collaboration with Kimberly-Clark Corporation.

 

The campaign kickoff tagline for the employees was: Building A Better World Starts With You. Kimberly-Clark understands their mission and goals don't happen if their people don't have the tools and team they need. They know making life better for billions of people first starts with making life better for their own employees. They want their employees to write bigger stories for themselves as they also tell the Kimberly-Clark story. 

​

Twenty real employees from within the company who represent product, engineering, IT, marketing, sales, scientists, cyber security, customer development, regulatory, machinists, operators, electricians, and platform crew leaders were profiled for the campaign. Our small, but nimble team filmed on location at the Kimberly-Clark office building within the Fulton Market District in Chicago, and at the Experimental Mill in Neenah, Wisconsin. The primary function at the Experimental Mill is to develop and deliver a continuous stream of innovative product and process solutions for the Family Care business. 

​

Project highlight: Navigating and providing on the fly solutions for interviews, green screen, portraits, lifestyle stills and video capture for 20 employees with a small, yet nimble team in a fast-paced environment.

‘Hear Better. Live Better.’ web, social and print campaign, in collaboration with Starkey and Jonathan Chapman Photography.

​

Raindrops fall, a car passes, children laugh as they walk home from school. Our ability to hear enhances and enriches moments in our lives that we take for granted. Andrea's story is a first-hand testimonial of how her life has been impacted by hearing loss, and how she has benefited from Starkey's hearing aids.

 

Starkey Hearing Technologies 'Hear Better. Live Better.' tagline sums up their work to improve the quality of people's lives through better hearing. We’ve worked alongside their creative team to highlight the company's latest innovations, as well as capture personal stories of those using their hearing aid technology through several short film projects. 

 

In the advertising world, it's not everyday that you leave a shoot as a sincere champion of the brand you were hired to represent. Starkey is truly able to make a positive impact on the lives of people. We all felt inspired by the people and stories we met, as well as the visual stories we all contributed to.

'Donors Are Our Superstars: A parent's perspective on stem cell donation.' digital and paid media campaign in collaboration with Be The Match, Bold Orange, and Plural Films. Be The Match wanted to create a series of Parent of the Donor videos to provide the insights, information and perspectives needed to empower parents to support their child in becoming a donor. Parents are apprehensive to give their child “permission” because they are concerned about risks of donating and they don’t trust the healthcare system. They want to hear from a voice of authority as well as other parents of donors. We filmed on location with Jurnee and Tracy in Denver, and at Be The Match headquarters in Minneapolis.

‘Life’s Best Work’ web, social and print employee value proposition campaign showing how one’s passion brings out their best at work. In collaboration with UnitedHealth Group and Jonathan Chapman Photography. ​Whether training for a triathlon or learning more about taking care of clients’ needs, Camila knows that the right training can prepare her for any challenges that come her way as an Executive Director for UnitedHealth Group in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 

​

We've worked with UnitedHealth Group on their recruitment campaigns for several years. Each year is a journey of discovery into the 8 to 10 star employees being profiled. It's an opportunity to translate an employee's work role and passion outside of work into stills and video. We always enjoy collaborating with the employees and learning more about what they do in their personal lives and how that crosses over to their work lives and vice versa. The connections at times are uncanny and reveal how intertwined two seemingly unrelated roles can be.  

 

Our collaborative partnership took us to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for an international flavor of UnitedHealth Group's 'Life's Best Work'. What an opportunity and experience to raise the bar once again, with an incredible backdrop to frame up a group of accomplished individual employee narratives.

PABs Packs brand video, in collaboration with PABs Packs. 'PABS' is for Pia and Abbie; the two teen co-founders. Lifelong friends, Abbie was diagnosed at the age of 13 in with Type 1 Diabetes. Not a year later, Pia received her diagnosis at the age of 14: Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Stage IIA. Thanks to the wonderful care they received at Children’s Hospitals of Minnesota, Pia is now cancer free and Abbie has her diabetes under control. With a lot of help from their families, Pia and Abbie founded PAB’S PACKS to fill the comfort gap they witnessed for teen patients in the hospital.

 

PAB’S PACKS provides comfort and encouragement to chronically ill teenagers through the donation of custom designed backpacks filled with select items to enhance an adolescent’s hospital stay. PAB’S has impacted 8,000 teenagers and their families through 37 partnerships nationwide and the mobilization of over 1,400 volunteers near and far.

Horizon Fitness 'ViaFit' brand video and lifestyle photography campaign, in collaboration with JohnsonFitness and Jonathan Chapman Photography. ViaFit is a new way to track and share fitness data. "Discover the place where you can connect your fitness equipment, apps and social networks so they can all start working together."

​

Working out is hard enough, let alone trying to track your progress day after day, week after week. The solution is ViaFit, an all-in-one program app that allows users to synch up with fitness equipment, social media, and personal journals to keep up with progress and share as much or as little with others.

 

We worked with JohnsonFitness on the launch video for their new ViaFit app. This was a unique project, integrating and animating graphic elements that showcase how ViaFit compliments the personal as well as social side to working out and fitness.

‘Winter Baseball’ broadcast, digital, and  paid digital campaign. A :30 and :60 spot were produced for the Minnesota Twins Community Fund Foundation in collaboration with Martin Williams (story/concept) and Jonathan Chapman Photography. 

​

'You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.' ~Joe Dimaggio

In anticipation of a new season and opening day of Twins Baseball, we were brought into a project created and concepted for the Minnesota Twins Community Fund by Martin Williams.  We worked closely with the team at Martin Williams and Volt Studios to visually bring the project to life upon the frozen surface of Brownie Lake in Minneapolis.  Pre-production involved creating an accurate baseball diamond the day before by having our team outline the shape of the ball field with a 100' measuring tape and shovels to remove enough snow to reach the base level of the lake.  As additional support for the project, and essential for the big reveal shot at the end of the piece, we collaborated with Picture Factory who brought in their Cine-Star 6  to fly a camera over the whole scene capturing an impromptu game in progress.  Further production supplies and support were supplied by Tasty Lighting.  

We hope you enjoy watching the :60 spot here as much as we did creating it.

'You're Classical' digital and paid digital campaign for NPR in collaboration with American Public Media, Nathaniel Schmidt and T.C. Worley Photography. For a long time, the appeal of classical music has been limited to a specific audience. The truth is, classical music can be for everyone, whether you're a teenager, parent, retired, stuck in traffic, exercising or making dinner. Classical music can be applied to any situation. In collaboration with American Public Media for YourClassical.org, we conceived multiple scenarios in which an everyday life moment can be transformed by classical music.
