    Director Johan Kramer Profiles Car Designer Peter Schreyer For Hyundai

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments2983 Views

    This short playful film, The Call, stars Peter Schreyer, the worldwide chief design officer of the Hyundai Motor Group. Directed by Johan Kramer via Trigger Happy Productions in Berlin (Kramer is repped in the U.S. by Chelsea Pictures) for agency Innocean Berlin and client Hyundai, this piece takes us to an Austrian mountain top, the place where Schreyer was hiking one day in 2006, when he received a call that changed his life. He was asked to come to Korea to work for the Hyundai Motor Group. 

    The story that unfolds in The Call is also told in a special book, “Roots and Wings,” about the visionary designer, responsible for the births of some of the most iconic cars ever like the Audi TT, the new Volkswagen Beetle and lots of Kia, Genesis and Hyundai models. The Call delves into the achievements, design philosophy and above all the humanity of the German designer. It shows how one man helped two polarizing cultures merge to create something unique.

    Kramer said of Schreyer, “It was very special to meet such a legendary designer. Peter’s legacy and love for the art form Dada gave me lots of inspiration to create this visual adventure. I thought it was important to tell not only the success story, but show also the man and his humanity as well.  To create the special and varied look, I worked closely together with young editor and animator Camille Boumans and graphic design duo FromForm; we somehow formed a dadaist movement creating this piece of communication and that was what made this project very special.”

    The Docter Twins Direct Part 2 Of FactSets’ “Not Just The Facts” Comedy Campaign From VSA Partners

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    FactSet, a global financial digital platform and enterprise solutions provider, has partnered with Chicago-based creative agency VSA Partners to unveil a second round of spots in its “Not Just the Facts” campaign. The campaign originally launched back in April.

    The campaign was built on a core strategic insight: While quality data is critical for financial professionals, facts in isolation provide little value. FactSet’s personalization, data connectivity, open and flexible technology, and dedicated service and support provide the context necessary for the investment community to turn facts into valuable insights--and make the most of them.

    The new creative picks up where the previous left off. This time it focuses on a particularly boorish office worker, drolly played by character actor Wyndham Maxwell, who ticks off an encyclopedic list of facts and non sequiturs during business meetings and to the bemusement of his colleagues.

    The tongue-in-cheek campaign, which plays more like a perfect-pitch comedy series than a typical B2B commercial effort, is a major departure from financial services industry norm--both in its use of humor and in its humanistic approach. Starting this week, FactSet will roll out 16 unique spots—a combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine “shorts”—across multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.

    This :30, “Dinos,” has an office worker’s relevant reference to dinosaurs spark our boorish colleague who proceeds to utter one irrelevant fact after another about the prehistoric creatures.

    The Los Angeles–based Docter Twins (Matthew and Jason Docter) directed the original campaign and this new humorous work through their production company, Thinking Machine. The identical twin... Read More
