WHY I BOWL

To create an interview-led series focusing on bowlers’ unique stories and how they became the person and athlete they are today, allowing fans to feel a greater connection with their heroes

SHOOTS

We filmed 10 interviews on-site at the IBF World Championships, grabbing bowlers and bringing them to a three-camera interview space that we had prepared for them. We used MC Aperture coloured lights to change an empty white room into a branded backdrop.

POST-PRODUCTION

To really take the interviews to the next level, we created animated illustrations and used clips / photography from their social media channels to highlight key moments in each bowler’s life. A bespoke illustrated thumbnail / poster was created for each episode.

DISTRIBUTION & RESULTS

We created a series promo to launch the campaign and then published long and short versions for each bowler dependent on the social platform it was going on. Every bowler was given an asset to share on their personal social platforms. In total the series hit more than 100k views and is the best-performing social media series in bowling.

BOXXER

BOXXER brought us on to lead on creative content for their official launch and partnership announcement with Sky Sports Boxing, as well as their cards for 2022

LAUNCH PROMO

We created a bespoke announcement promo that informed fans of what was to come in a creative way. Using footage from our promo shoots with the fighters, we illustrated and transitioned to hero shots throughout to make it pop and draw the attention to the big names.

DESIGN

Alongside the launch promos, we created a ‘Welcome to BOXXER’ campaign on social. All 20 fighters had their own creative design to post on their social channels, as well as BOXXER’s, to push the announcement as far as possible and keep all the social feeds in sync. 

ORIGINAL VIDEO CONTENT

From training days with Chris Eubank Jr to creative promo shoots with the BOXXER Series fighters, we filmed and edited social-first content that helped promote upcoming fight nights on Sky Sports Boxing.

FIGHT WEEKS

We created pre-fight content from promos to fight posters to mini docs, and then when fight week hit we had a full team of professional content creators on the ground to turn around social-first content and live social producers publishing all the content in real-time.

GREENE KING

Millie Bright x UEFA Women’s Euros, ‘If You Can’t Be There, Be Here’ creative video campaign

BRIEF & CONCEPT

The client came to us looking to create their master piece of content ahead of the 2022 Women’s Euros, in line with their campaign. Our idea was to create an origin story with Millie Bright that showed her journey to the top and how it inspires the next generation of women footballers.

SHOOTS

The production involved two shoot days; one with Millie Bright to get hero and training shots, one inside a Greene King pub with actors to create the end scene of a young girl watching Millie on the big screen.

ANIMATED ILLUSTRATIONS

To tie the piece together we needed to visualise Millie’s journey from watching football on TV as a child to playing on the streets against boys to representing her country as a professional. We did this by creating and then animating a collection of comic-book illustrations that showed key moments in her life, creating an emotional connection between the viewer and the story / athlete.

DISTRIBUTION

The video was delivered in 60”, 30” and 15” versions in a variety of sizes so that it was ready to post on all social platforms. Every Greene King pub in the country published it on their social accounts and Millie Bright posted it on the eve of the tournament, receiving lots of positive comments about her story.

PFL MMA

To film and edit original video content around their fighters and fight weeks that sits across their social media channels and is played out on the fight night’s broadcast

PROMOS

Creating archive-led and original creative promos to help promote upcoming fights and events. We use the unique characteristics of each fighter to tell their story in a number of different ways.

DOCUMENTARY

So far we’ve created two mini docs for PFL. The first was Ricky Hatton Meets Brendan Loughnane that looked at the history of combat sports in Manchester and their own personal journeys to the top. The second was ‘A Day In The Life w/ Brendan Loughnane’, taking him around Manchester to see his mum, coaches and learn more about the streets that made him.

BREAKDOWNS

Shooting and editing fight breakdowns and explainers with MMA legend Dan Hardy, delivering short and long-form videos for all social platforms.

FIH WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

To create a six-week digital media campaign focused on driving engagement and awareness that ultimately leads to app downloads and digital tournament passes. 44 matches in 17 days, this is how we delivered our groundbreaking campaign

PRE-TOURNAMENT

Before the tournament started we filmed, produced and edited a hype promo telling the story of Netherlands’ dominance and other nations’ chance to take their crown… Good luck. As well as teaser video content, we created a infographic for all 16 nations competing that really kicked off the campaign from a visual point of view.

DESIGN

We produced bespoke illustrations, hero artwork, infographics and branded designs to celebrate key players, fixtures and moments before, during and after the tournament.

LIVE SOCIAL

We started with remote social media, clipping and community management for all of the Pool fixtures. Then we had aN expert team creating real-time social video content on the ground for the knockout stages. This allowed us to bring fans who couldn’t be there closer to the action and capture moments not seen on the broadcast.

ORIGINAL VIDEO

The team on the ground captured content from interviews, training and matches to create social-first video content in real-time. This ranged from IG Reels and TikToks of key moments to our ‘Pitchside’ and ‘Player Cam’ series to personality-led interview series called ‘Playing For My Nation’.

E1 SOCIAL

We were appointed by E1 Series to lead on their social and digital strategy, working with their in-house marketing team to create content and increase awareness of the upcoming championship

DESIGN

From static graphics to illustrations to animated 3D videos, we have created a wide variety of high-quality design for E1 Series using our extensive list of creative designers.

EVENTS

Creating content in real-time around key moments such as testing, boat shows, public demos and VIP events.

VIDEO

At the start all we had to work with was a 3D render of the boat, so how did we catch people’s attention without getting repetitive? We created several animated 3D videos of multiple RaceBirds racing H2H to give fans an idea of what they had to look forward to. Since testing started we had regular shoots with the engineering team so we could take it to the next level and create exciting hype promos with the actual RaceBird on the water in iconic cities across the world.

SOCIAL & COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT

Without a championship format or even a boat on the water, we had the challenge of 1) getting people to follow us and, 2) keeping them engaged enough so they wouldn’t unfollow before race season started. A big part of our success was analysing what our followers like and what was performing best so we could use this information to guide our content creation.
