To mark the first year anniversary of the takeover of Lehman Brothers Asia-Pacific operations, Japanese corporate and investment bank, Nomura, asked Filmages to produce a documentary-style video.

Following our successful collaboration with Korean financial institution on their Hong Kong GMAL office launch, Woori asked us to create this video for a property roadshow.

Since the master plan was still a work in progress, we had to devise a storyline that would highlight the why rather than the how.

What does the Rugby World Cup and Societe Generale have in common? Turns out, quite a lot! 

As a title sponsor, SG organised public screenings and took the opportunity to make that relationship crystal clear by regularly broadcasting this breaker promo.

In this video we put the corporate values of Societe Generale side by side with the elements of Rugby.

By intertwining corporate materials with the World Cup we were able to celebrate the conjunction of these two organisations and make a compelling breaker for the Cup. 

We made art come alive! Societe Generale has a lavish art collection at their Paris headquarters, but the rule is; artwork can't travel abroad.

For the SGCIB Asia-Pacific event team that was a big caveat, and that's where we came in. 

Using our knowledge of art history we dissected some 20 different art pieces, and based on stills, created tailor-made animations for each of them to reveal their uniqueness.

Projected on huge screens during SGCIB's events, this allowed our client to raise their profile and help their guests discover great artwork in an entertaining way.

For their extravagant launch party Woori needed a video to announce the debut of their new Global Market to 250 of Asia-Pacific's top bankers and officials. 

We proposed to cast CNN Financial News journalist Lorraine Hahn to anchor the video and spin the story as if it was an interview-based financial reportage. We also proposed to play a ubiquity trick, starting the story in a studio, continuing in Seoul, then seamlessly transitioning to Hong Kong.

To the surprise of everyone in the room, the CEO agreed to the strategy and immediately awarded us the job.
