Task
In B2B, reference marketing is the strongest argument there is: customers describing what has changed. Siemens wanted its reference projects around the world turned into films people enjoy watching, not case studies to click through.
Idea
The customer is the hero. Each film follows a person whose job Siemens technology has made easier: less energy, more efficiency, everything connected. We show the impact where it lands: in the city, at the university, in the data centre, at the plant.
Execution
Since 2019, around ten films in Finland, the US, India, Germany, Switzerland and France: the Tampere University campus, the Blue Lake microgrid community in California, the Hamburg Fire Brigade’s fireboat “Branddirektor Westphal”, Stadtwerke Stuttgart, the Maisel brewery, a data centre in India, thyssenkrupp. One to three shoot days per reference, with storylines and concepts developed in-house.
Output: reference films with cutdowns, interview snippets, photos, infographics and landing page copy: one package per reference that serves sales, web and social.
Impact
The format has been running since 2019 and continues to be commissioned.
