Bringg & Nextel: corporate video reveals the secret to their success

Catherine Balston • Oct 23, 2019

Delivery logistics platform Bringg commissioned Story Productions to make a corporate video that brings its technology to life through the successful partnership it has with telco Nextel

In today’s on-demand era, consumers have lost the art of being patient. When we want something, we can – usually – get it, if not straight away then in under an hour. From films to sushi, a tube of toothpaste or even cash, there’s little that isn’t available at the touch of a button.

Much of this is made possible thanks to Bringg – a delivery logistics platform behind many of the world’s leading ecommerce apps. Their technology monitors and manages deliveries, allowing them to relocate couriers from one area to another, or change routes in real time as new orders arise, radically improving delivery times for its clients.

One such client to benefit from Bringg technology is Brazilian telco Nextel. Bringg technology reduced Nextel’s SIM card delivery times from 3 to 4 days down to just 4 hours at most. Bringg wanted to use Nextel as a case study to show the impact that their technology can have on their clients’ business, and what better way to do this than through video?

That’s where Story Productions comes in. We’ve worked on corporate communications videos for clients that include Microsoft, Siemens and Unilever and Bringg hired us to create their corporate video, from pre- through to post-production.

Our challenge was to make a video with real impact that could hold people’s attention whilst also outlining the technological and operational detail of Bringg’s platform. To do that we planned to shoot a variety of different scenes all in the same day.

First, an interview with the Nextel CEO and CIO to capture their feedback on the Bringg partnership. Doing these sorts of interviews without a script results in a more natural, conversational response from our interviewees, so long as they feel at ease; one of the compliments we most often get from our clients is about what good communicators the Story Productions crew are.

We then shot B-roll footage of their headquarters in São Paulo to show the operating system in action. Next, to build pace and capture the energy of a complex logistical operation, we took to the streets of São Paulo with one of Bringg’s couriers. With a GoPro secured to his motorbike, we captured him weaving his way through the city traffic. We also filmed the courier receiving delivery requests via an easy-to-use app on his cell phone.

The third and final location was a beautiful house in a suburb of São Paulo where the courier delivered the SIM card to a happy customer, adding a nice personal, emotive touch to the video. We also filmed the customer going through the simple steps of placing their Nextel order, again all done via an app, shot in close-up.

The Story Productions team included two producers, a director, a camera operator, a camera assistant, a sound technician and gaffer. With detailed pre-production planning we were able to squeeze all this into a single day shoot. Then it’s back to the Story Productions edit suite for the post-production. The edit, sound mix, graphics and voice over are all part of the magic of bringing the footage to life, to convey the transformative power of Bringg technology.
