Making health issues with sleep, stress and digestion into an attention-grabbing video on a tight turn-around? No problem. The River Group delivered a series of social videos to support a new subscription service being launched by Holland & Barrett.
As part of the company’s expanding content creation service, River’s newly formed video production unit ran the film project from ideation, to on-location execution, to in-house editing.
The video concepts used comedy to promote the benefits of a regular vitamin subscription service, Healthbox. Using scenarios syncing with the brand’s customer profiles, the messaging outlines how the brand’s personalised service is ‘good for everybody, but tailored for all’.
River creatives were inspired to use humour in everyday situations to get the subtle brand message across to a social audience.
With 43 per cent of consumers wanting to see more video content from brands, the Healthbox videos illustrate the scope of work that River Group Content now undertake for our clients. This video content is an exciting new development in the delivery of omni-channel content for Holland & Barrett’s Healthbox.
The team have a further three creative executions awaiting production all of which will run across Holland & Barrett-owned social channels, website, emails and YouTube.
Nicola Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of The River Group Content, commented: “River being asked to undertake the video creation for Holland & Barrett’s new vitamin subscription service, Healthbox, is testament to our expertise in and commitment to creating unique and ground-breaking content for Holland & Barrett. It demonstrates the level of innovation and creativity that our talent uses to engage consumers – and continually drive great results for clients!”
