BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the managing director and founder of MCH London - The Responsible Advertising Agency. We are a full-service digital agency based in London.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Small Films?
At the height of COVID-19, we had a project for a virtual boat race. We needed to stitch together several video assets of rowers rowing home along with a virtual course that represented the famous Oxford vs. Cambridge boat race. We hired Small Films to help us stay within budget and meet the short, four-week turnaround time.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We had a five-step approach: briefing, discovery, production, post-production, and distribution.
At the beginning of our conversation, we introduced Small Films to our preferred video provider for the briefing. We entered the discovery phase with the production team and the rowers to finalize the project plan. Three weeks were allocated for the rowers to film themselves individually, after which we proceeded to put the videos together in the post-production phase.
Small Films’ final video was then published through a fundraising website, various broadcast media channels, and social media platforms. The project was meant to improve the interface and online reputation of our client.
What is the team composition?
There were between 4–6 people working with us.
How did you come to work with Small Films?
We went through a briefing process that included known and unknown suppliers. We had to make a quick decision due to the short turnaround time, so I chose Small Films because I knew George (Founder) through the International Advertising Association. He had become a trusted supplier because of that link.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve given between $15,000–$20,000 to Small Films.
What is the status of this engagement?
The project was first spoken about at the beginning of May 2020. The brief was undertaken mid-May, and the video was released on June 13, 2020. We are still engaged for the long-term and I’m thinking of working with them again this year.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The initial target of the fundraising was £10,000 (approximately $14,000 USD). Since the virtual boat race generated an excess of £25,000 (approximately $34,000 USD) in donations, this allowed the organizing charity to deliver 30 powerhouse games which will directly benefit 2,250 children.
Small Films’ video gained 505,000 views on the fundraising website, which led to a great uptake on the event. It was covered by a huge variety of media including Radio 5 Live and BBC Local News. Write-ups were present in UK national papers like The Times, Evening Standard, Metro, and Time Out. The event even made the BBC Sport website.
The estimated global reach of the PR was over 700 million people.
How did Small Films perform from a project management standpoint?
The Small Films team is incredibly good to work with. They’re also highly responsive. We communicate with Small Films via phone, Zoom, and WhatsApp.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re a very collaborative agency, which is why we love working with them. The team bent over backwards to deliver the project within a very short period of time. The level of their work was phenomenal.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Honestly, there is nothing for them to improve on. There was nothing they could’ve done better.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Go in with a creative, open mind and trust Small Films’ judgment and process. Always consider the content, the strategy, and the amplification or distribution.
