The challenge

Concretely prove the effectiveness of our concepts to brands, and cement our reputation as a creative agency.

Our creative strategy

We turned our own expertise into a story: interactive case studies, behind-the-scenes reveals of the buzz (the making-of for the fake robbery), team branding videos, and the reveal of the media-hacking stunt with the kayak rider that was featured on M6 — all to show that we master the levers of attention from end to end.

The videos & the setup

Four formats. The M6 prank reveal (78s), a case study in nationwide media hacking. The making-of for the fake robbery (64s), deconstructing the viral mechanics. A horror/culinary creative format (37s), pure narrative innovation. And a "24 hours inside the agency" (30s), showing the energy and culture of our Strasbourg team.

Results & business impact

More than 1.6 million combined views on our own formats (948K on the robbery reveal, 654K on the creative format), reinforcing our authority on viral video and generating quote requests for bespoke campaigns.
