Two treatments to serve evolving audience needs
At SoundsWrite, we help you tailor your message and approach to the needs of your specific audience.
Phase 1 – building enthusiasm
Internal communications can sometimes break the brand rules and take an unusual approach to telling a story. For Swiss Re, cartoons don’t really suit their brand self-image. But the project sponsor wanted to do something that would appeal to the human side of his audience of senior global sales leaders at an internal event and as a humorous teaser for informal usage.
The “Construction Comprehensive” cartoon written and produced by SoundsWrite perfectly served this purpose.
Phase 2 – seriously on brand
As the sales campaign gained traction and the need for a more formal film for external use, grew Swiss Re returned to SoundsWrite with a request for a more serious and on-brand treatment of the same basic script.
Working with the same animation agency we created a new version of the film to the satisfaction of the global brand management, who considered it a best practice example of the application of the Swiss Re visual guidelines.
