We have been privileged to have worked for Laithwaites Wine for over 3 decades. While on this amazing journey we have provided nearly all the services within our offering.

Direct Mail and targeted mailings have always been at the heart of Laithwaites marketing strategy, and their continuity upgrade mailings are a big part of this. The plan provides customers with a regular supply of superb quality wine on a 8 or 12 week cycle. These always include a fantastic introductory saving and further discounts on any cases you choose to take.

Task

To create a direct mail pack including introduction letter, 12pp brochure, free gift flyer and a saving voucher. This pack was designed utilising Laithwaite’s new brand guidelines and also included business partner branded packs for British Airways and The Sunday Times Wine Club.

The target audience is the current customer base of Bryant Dental products, as the trailers will be released and promoted through their social channels.
‍
The first trailer focuses on the excitement by not revealing too much straight away. The concept of an orb breaking free from the stresses and strains of everyday life by going on a journey of discovery, avoiding any obstacles that may come in its way and feeling free to enjoy life.
‍
The second trailer is essential to show how and what will make the user’s life easier — revealing the user interface, interacting with the software, and potential situations.
‍
The third trailer is the big finale of the campaign. The focus is to communicate the most essential and unique aspect of the software. Showing how the software is connected to a network of user-populated data from other dentists around the UK and how the AI software uses this to predict diagnoses, symptoms and much more.
‍
The campaign was successful by exceeding the target number of users to sign up for the beta release of the software.

We have been privileged to have worked for Laithwaites Wine for over 3 decades. While on this amazing journey we have provided nearly all the services within our offering.

The Wine Flyer brand is very much concentrated around travel and bringing those experiences home. As with certain sounds, songs and smells, taste can be a evocative sense in recall for special memories. Their photography is the meeting point of taste and place. It is suggestive enough to evoke a sense of a place, an occasion or a moment, but gives the viewer space to explore their own tastes and memories – to travel to the places that mean most to them.

Task

The Wine Flyer tasked us with taking both still photography and video for their go-going ‘Taste of Place’ campaign.
‍
Having discussed the brief with the client, Montpellier was chosen as our main location base due to its access to the famous wine region in the south of France. Plus, the versatility of the architecture from the old city to the new. One scene could look like the French Riviera, but just around the corner, the architecture could change to be shot to look like an old rustic French courtyard.
‍
Our team then set about creating mood boards and storyboarding the content we wanted to capture over a 5 day trip. We planned every aspects of the trip including travel, accommodation and relevant places to visit whilst we were there and provided the client with a full itinerary. We then sent our team, along with the client, out to France on a journey to capture both still and motion content intended for use as marketing material across various customer channels. and video that would be used in a national TV advertising campaign as well as an In-Flight TV ad. This was to be displayed before every film on long-haul British Airways flights. These shots covered product-specific, lifestyle and generic B-roll.
‍
Shoots like this involve a lot of work. There were some extremely long days, starting with early mornings to make sure the best possible moments are captured in the best conditions. However, this is nothing our experienced and dedicated team cannot handle. Using our experience, we can make your campaign an efficient and cost-effective solution to your content marketing.
‍
Result – Over the 5 days, we managed to produce 400+ client-selected images and over 3-hours of versatile marketing assets for the TV and social media campaigns.

“Love working with the whole team at H2. When on location, it feels like working with an extension of our team. The guys are great to be around, get the vision and are always keen to try different approaches.
‍
The dedication to getting the shot has always been admired; from detailed recces to sitting in the perfect spot for 5 hours – we are always delighted with the shots and footage delivered.”
