Tell us about a recent project you are particularly proud of.
One recent project we’re especially proud of is our work with NBCUniversal for Visit Qatar. Tasked with creating a digital-first 30 second hero film for their 'Surprise Yourself' campaign, we developed a cinematic, travel documentary-style piece that celebrated the unexpected, memorable experiences Qatar has to offer. Working with a tight turnaround we leaned into authenticity filming a couple exploring a number of the country’s top landmarks, restaurants and hotels.
The creative approach needed to be both visually striking and emotionally resonant, while aligning with brand messaging and tourism objectives. We handled creative development, local crew direction, post-production, and delivery of a hero film plus multiple cutdowns for different audiences. Shot and delivered in under six weeks, it was a fantastic example of our creative thinking, nimble production capabilities and collaborative approach to create something genuinely fresh and engaging.
Looking ahead, what do you see as the biggest trends in corporate video over the next few years?
We’re seeing two major trends shaping the future of corporate video. First, video podcasts are on the rise. Brands are recognising their value as a way to build authority, deepen engagement and generate a steady stream of content across channels. The format is versatile, relatively low-cost and ideal for repurposing into shorts and social assets. Second, the increased use of generative AI is set to transform the production process. We’re already working on a project where all the visuals are Gen-AI created, unlocking creative possibilities that were previously out of reach due to time or budget constraints.
As tools mature, we expect AI to play a greater role in visual development, scripting, localisation and personalisation. That said, authenticity and human connection will remain essential. The winning formula will be smart integration of new tech with strong storytelling and thoughtful strategy.
Any predictions, objectives and plans for the upcoming 6-12 months?
One of our key objectives is to continue growing our video strategy offering. We’re focused on building longer-term partnerships with clients, where we not only produce content but also help shape and plan their video output across the year. This approach allows us to deliver more impactful, consistent work that aligns with wider marketing and business goals. By working strategically and embedding with clients, we can offer greater cost efficiency and flexibility, scaling up or down as needed, planning smarter and ensuring content is delivered with maximum value. It’s about moving from project-based work to becoming a trusted, agile partner, something we’re already doing with several clients and looking to scale further.
