May 18, 2017
18th May 2017 by CH
What
Walkers crisps chose us to create a short video to promote their festive interactive augmented reality app, created in collaboration with Blippar, and show consumers how to download it.
The video combines eye-catching motion graphics, in-app visuals and voice-over, which explains how you can use the app, whilst maintaining an exciting tone-of-voice and a festive atmosphere and music.
When
The video was launched 4 weeks before Christmas but the pre-production took place weeks before the release date because of the scripting and planning involved.
How
One of the main aims of the video was to engage the audience right from the start, which is why the first 3 seconds were crucial for grabbing attention. We worked closely together with the Walkers marketing team to write the script, design the storyboard and casting actors for the shoot, to ensure that the video captured the desired excitement and conveyed the right message, whilst remaining on brand and on trend.
Where
The video was promoted across the social media channels that Walkers are present on, with an emphasis on Facebook.
Results
The original Facebook video amassed an impressive 750k views, 73 shares, 520 likes and 99 comments. It was then shared again a week later and gained a further 168k views.

Lots of brands are pulling video production in house. On paper, it sounds efficient but in practice? We’re seeing a different story. Here’s what often gets overlooked. You’re Hiring Individuals - Not a Creative Team Once you factor in salaries, kit, software and overheads, most businesses end up with one or two junior to mid creatives. Talented, yes. But limited in scope. An agency gives you directors, animators, writers, cinematographers, strategists… activated only when you need them. Creativity Gets Stuck In house teams work on the same brand day in, day out. Agencies work across sectors, styles and problems and that cross pollination is where the best ideas come from. Retention Gets Hard and Expensive Strong creatives crave variety and progression. Small teams can’t always offer it, and when one person leaves, the whole system wobbles. Replacing technical talent is costly and the “savings” of in housing disappear fast. Who’s Challenging the Brief? Executing a brief is one thing. Challenging it is another. You should have someone asking, “Is this the right format?” or “What if we did it differently?”. That’s where outside perspective becomes invaluable.

When Euronics came to us with a brief, it was a good one: take a true story about an extraordinary delivery and turn it into something worth watching. The Brief Joe, a Euronics delivery agent, had been tasked with getting a chest freezer to a customer in rural Wales. The road ran out. He carried on anyway, on foot, through fields, across rivers and over hills. The customer was delighted. The story deserved to be told. Euronics asked us to produce a short comedic video retelling that journey. The challenge was finding the right visual language to match the scale of the tale. The Concept We pitched several approaches centred on a comic-book aesthetic, bold, energetic and a little tongue-in-cheek. It felt like the right fit: a story that was equal parts heroic and absurd, told in a style that leaned into both. The concept paired real interview footage of Joe with AI-generated visuals to bring his journey to life. Where a traditional shoot would have required location days across Welsh countryside, generative AI gave us the tools to illustrate the story scene by scene. Creative Wrangling We filmed Joe against a studio blue backdrop, letting him tell the story in his own words. His delivery did a lot of the heavy lifting (puns intended!), dry, matter-of-fact and quietly brilliant. The AI-generated visuals were built around detailed multi-angle reference sheets for Joe, the Euronics van and the chest freezer.
