Problem: Brands are often not convinced that creativity is the best way to reach people. They think that there are many times that creativity and good ideas are not necessary.

Solution: Show in a metaphorical, poetic and artistic way, that any place, in our lives, in work, in communication… that all places are better when they are full of great ideas. But verbalized in negative, for that negativity that many times there is towards creativity on the part of the clients, to add two negatives and make a superlative message.

IDEO: Shape Launch Video

The international design and consulting firm IDEO reached out to BIEN from their San Francisco office with a challenging project: help them create a marketing video for the launch of Shape, their new collaboration product. IDEO is working to solve huge global challenges, so they wanted the Shape video to reflect their current initiatives–the future of automobility. To highlight how Shape works, we used the story of Ari and how she used a proven framework to solicit ideas, gather feedback and foster close collaboration among a group of enterprise peers. In the end, Ari’s team comes up with some cool—and some wacky—ideas that could one day solve all of our mobility and traffic issues. Ari is able to quickly solicit feedback on the ideas, iterate and eventually develop a final prototype. BIEN was responsible for creative direction and animation, working hand in hand with the IDEO team and their illustration partner Cassandra Fontaine to create a unique video featuring an original music score by the talented Kevin Boenzli. The guiding strategy was to create something you’ve never seen or heard before. We didn’t want to create just another explainer style video. As a production partner, we were involved early on, shaping the overall direction and style of the video and offering visual solutions on the fly throughout the process to address client feedback. For animation, we used a variety of techniques – cel animation for the characters and 2D motion graphics for everything else. This allowed us to add some quirk and nuance to the star of the show, Ari, while keeping the budget within reasonable limits. This project required us to animate low riders, mech suits, drones and flying cars. So yeah, we had a great time doing it! We were able to use Shape to organize this project and we highly recommend you giving it a try. Learn more at IDEO.com.

This campaign is borne from the insight that young Nigerians have begun to forget their cultural identities in favour of Western ideals. The campaign is a call for everyone to never forget their indigenous roots (Echefula translates to Never Forget in Igbo language). In our creatives, we use Nsibidi, a long forgotten script indigenous to the peoples of South Southern and South Eastern Nigeria to show our audience the beautiful part of our history that we have forgotten, while telling them boldly to never forget.
