Documentaries that put brands on Prime Video.
The most powerful advertising is a true story that someone chooses to watch for 30 minutes. We develop and produce branded documentaries and short documentary series: told in documentary style, in cinema quality, with people who have something to say. “The Power Reset” for Siemens ran on Prime Video in Germany, the UK and the US and won the German Brand Award.
Corporations and brands with a subject bigger than a product: the energy transition, health, work, sport. And communications departments that want to build reach through earned media and PR, not just a media budget.

How we work
It starts with research: we look for the people and the conflict that carry the story. Then messaging and story development with you, the script and an interview guide. We shoot documentary-style, over several days or weeks, with a small crew and plenty of time for the people in the film. Editing, music and grading get the time a film needs.
What it looks like.
Three questions
How does a brand film end up on a streaming platform?
Through quality, subject matter and contacts. We did it with Siemens and know the requirements for running time, rights and technical specs.
How much brand can a documentary take?
Less than marketing thinks, and more than the audience notices. The brand is the reason the story can be told. We place it so that nobody clicks away.
How long does a documentary take?
Three to six months from research to release. Short documentary series take six to ten weeks.
