Pull up a Chair: Let's Talk about Race
Category: Corporate video
This was not your conventional corporate video brief, this was a brief full of passion and drive to create a better world for BAME people within their business and beyond; a brief that Venture could make something truly remarkable with for BDO.
Platinum Hermes award winner: Ateme
Captivate your audience with Ateme
Category: Animated video creativity
Ateme is a global leader of video compression and delivery solutions, helping content providers, service providers and streaming platforms boost their viewership and subscription engagement.
Well-known for having the highest quality video stream for the lowest bit rate, Ateme is a growing organisation with a wealth of new service offerings, and part of this expansion was a new brand identity and enhanced proposition. What they wanted us to do was create a video to help them launch this new brand.
Ateme's message is all about captivating your audience with fast, high-quality content. We decided to represent the movement of data through the movement of circles, showing the fluidity of data movement in order to reach our eyes. And when it came to the message of "getting eyes on content" and boosting viewership, our animation became very literal, with illustrated eyeballs following the content.
The resulting video from our creative talent is something beautiful in its simplicity, but conveys the complex messaging in a succinct, easy-to-direct way.
On the EVCOM Awards shortlist:
We're also incredibly excited to announce that BDO's video Pull Up a Chair: Let's Talk About Race has also been shortlisted for the EVCOM Awards' Diversity & Inclusion category!
This is such a huge achievement and a real testament to the BDO team members featured in the film, as well as their incredible Marketing team who put their trust in us to bring this vision to life.
The video has not only gone on to win a Gold award from Hermes, but most importantly, empowered BDO to pull up a chair and have open conversations about race. In our view, we've already won!
Winners will be announced at the end of June, please keep everything crossed for us!
