Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope of work for this project covered the end-to-end production of a corporate brand video (as well as 3 short-form versions for social media), designed to clearly communicate our expertise, values, and application areas to a global scientific audience. This included initial concept development through to final delivery of a polished, multi-purpose video asset:

• Discovery & concept development - Eight Engines worked closely with us to understand the company’s positioning, target audience, and key messaging. This phase defined the overall narrative structure, tone, and visual direction of the video.
• Scriptwriting & storyboarding -  With our help, a structured script was developed to ensure the video effectively communicated complex scientific concepts in a clear, engaging, and accessible way, while aligning with brand messaging.
• Filming & production - On-site filming captured a range of content including manufacturing floor shots, instrumentation, team members, and operational processes. This ensured the video authentically represented the company’s capabilities and working environment.

Key deliverables:

• Post-production & editing - This included video editing, graphic design and sound design to create a professional, cohesive final product.
• A fully produced company overview video (primary deliverable)
• Edited and formatted versions suitable for website, social media, and events 
• A versatile video asset that can be used across marketing, sales, and recruitment activities

The video has given us a strong, professional way to present who we are and what we do. It’s already being used across our website and LinkedIn, helping create a more consistent and engaging first impression.

Internally, it’s going to make it easier for the team to explain our offering to new prospects. Overall, it’s a valuable asset that supports brand awareness, lead generation, and day-to-day marketing activity.

We recently worked with Eight Engines on a video advertising project, and the experience from start to finish was excellent.

After approaching them with a vision to create a series of adverts showcasing our services, Scott and his team provided a thorough consultation where they carefully planned every element of the project from concept through to delivery. Their structured approach and attention to detail gave us real confidence in the process.

They presented multiple creative options and worked collaboratively with us to refine these ideas into a clear final blueprint for the campaign. Beyond production, the team also supported us in securing a suitable lead for the campaign, selecting the right location, and coordinating the filming schedule.

On the day of filming, Scott and his team were highly professional, organised, and easy to work with. The production process felt smooth and well-managed throughout, and it was clear we were working with people who understood how to bring ideas to life on screen.

Receiving the final adverts was a very rewarding moment for us — the finished content captured our brand and message exactly as we had envisioned.

We’d happily recommend Eight Engines to any organisation looking for a professional and creative media production partner.

The video concept was that the Timpson store exists inside the vending machine, seamlessly connecting the key-cutting process to when the key is ready for collection. Live-action footage will show a colleague cutting keys and fixing shoes within this ‘in-machine’ store. 
When the key is finished, they’ll break the fourth wall and place it directly into the vending machine, aligning perfectly with the moment it’s dispensed. We needed Eight Engines for production, lighting, and support with storyboarding. The final piece was a main video with modular sections highlighting the key-cutting journey.

They were quick to respond to questions or changes, and always made us feel like a priority.

We were especially impressed by their willingness to visit us in person, walk through the details, and collaborate as if they were part of our own team. That level of hands-on involvement and adaptability made a huge difference—they didn’t just produce a great video; they helped shape it with us.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Our client, a sustainable high-performance wood brand, was looking to increase awareness of its benefits amongst architects to drive demand for the product. 

A critical element to an architect's role is ensuring that they design with the needs of communities in mind. This means they must not only collaborate with the supply chain, but with developers, councils, and the public to ensure they are not only designing buildings, but also creating spaces that are safe, sustainable and represent the communities that live there.

Having had in-depth discussions with the architects to understand what campaign would make an impact, we recommended a campaign centred upon ‘Genius Loci’. Roughly translating to ‘The Spirit of the Place’, ‘Genius Loci’ is a philosophical brand of architectural phenomenology referring to the preservation of heritage and culture.

The campaign put architects front and centre via a series of tactics including the development of a three-part video series discussing what the ‘Spirit of the Place’ means to architects.

We selected three architects who each led an episode of the series. Each architect chose a place that was important to them - so they could talk authentically about what the place means to them, how this has inspired their work today, and how they reflect culture and heritage in their designs.

Eight Engines was critcal to helping us develop the storylines that would resonate with our client's target audience and ultimately capture the 'Spirit of the Place'.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

At the beginning of the campaign, we agreed three objectives with the client and set key performance indicators to measure success for each. Eight Engines helped us meet or surpass all:

Start direct conversations and build relationships with the target audience to influence purchasing decisions. KPIs:

• Target: 3+ ongoing partnerships with architects
• Achieved: 3 ongoing partnerships with architects and decision-makers at Bond Bryan, Morris + Company and Chapman Taylor
• Target: Ongoing promotion of the content via third party channels (5+ posts/shares by architects/architectural firms)
• Achieved: 5 posts by architects/architectural firms (and 50 total reposts/shares)

Build brand awareness for Accoya amongst key target audiences via brand mentions in the right places. KPIs:

• Target: 20,000+ impressions
• Achieved: 29,490 impressions (and reached 79,123)
• Target: 500+ organic engagements
• Achieved: 641 organic engagements 

Demonstrate Accoya as a brand with a purpose by positioning it as a thought-leader when it comes to preserving heritage, culture, and communities. KPIs:

• Target: 3+ informative videos housed on Accoya’s website
• Achieved: 3 informative videos housed on Accoya’s website
• Target: 80%+ positive feedback from people who comment on or engage with the content 
• Achieved: 100% positive feedback from architects, including third parties requesting to create follow up video content about the places, for example Huddersfield Town FC featured as one of the sites some of the filming for one of the architects took place. The club saw our video and asked the architect to feature in a video for themselves about the stadium and the club which is now live on the LinkedIn profile
• We had positive feedback from the places represented in the series, who felt a particular emotional attachment to the videos and apprciated the way their city had been captured

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Eight Engines was incredibly helpful throughout the project. The team was always on hand to support with questions and advise. For example, filming in cities was complicated due to laws on where you can and can't film. I was not familiar with these rules before the project so this was critical to understand how this could impact the end result. Knowing Eight Engines had done their due diligence gave me peace of mind and meant I knew I had a video team I could rely not only to deliever a successful project but also overcome any challenges.

Throughout the project, within my own agency, we were not only conscious of our own needs and what we wanted to achieve but also of the client and their expectations. It was important to have a reliable video partner who could help answer their questions too, and deliver to a timely schedule, particularly as there were lots of moving parts, not only within our own campaign but also client side. Eight Engines recognised this, helping in any way they could and adapting to our needs.

What was your primary form of communication with Eight Engines?

• In-Person Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

In addition feeling like we were in a safe pair of hands with the help and support Eight Engines provided throughout the project, on the filming days, it was great to see the team's passion and attention to detail.

Each team member played their role in understanding the brief and carefully capturing the perfect shot, selecting the right camera, or taking the time to ensure sound was clear. This continued in post production too, to ensure our client would be pleased!

Their team's work also put the architects at ease in what could be quite a daunting experience. This gave them the confidence to present on camera and collaborate with the crew to select locations that meant something to them - which was essential to achieving the brief. Each architect stated how much they enjoyed the filming days and how impressed they were by the videos. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Eight Engines could have done differently?

No, they did a great job and they have helped us with even more projects since!
