The Creative Process & The Brand

In order to give our audience a clear introspective into our processes and how we work, we have decided to create a quick sample of how we were able to help out Swiss Watch Gang. A key goal of Effekt Agency is to demistify a creative agency’s process and involvement, in order to create transparency and trust between clients and agencies.

About the Brand

Due to the fact that most of EsperLuxe’s customer acquisition happens online, at a global scale, unique content is of their highest priority. After years of building their Instagram and  Facebook accounts we advised them to focus their attention also on YouTube. 

To expand the online buying experience we deliberately started creating watch reviews so their clientele visually gets a good grasp of the product from all perspectives. The videos are used as a sales tool for customers as well as an educational tool for watch enthusiasts on his website & YouTube.

The YouTube Channel

Step 01

Pre-Production

All videos are planned and discussed with EsperLuxe and their brands in advance. Together we discuss the product, topic of the video and other ideas to make the video as valuable as possible for their platforms. For the video format we decided to create reviews with a voiceover which is recorded in a studio in the US and the products are filmed in our studio in Zürich, Switzerland.

Step 02

Production

For a video we take about 1-2 days for the script, voice over and logistics, 1 day of filming, 2 days of editing and color correction.

After the video is finalized we start with the YouTube optimization which includes the custom thumbnail creation, intriguing video title, video description, video tag analysis and adding the cards and end screen buttons.

Step 03

Post-Production

We create teasers for each video, which is distributed on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. (9:16 Size Format for Instagram Story with custom graphics + 4:5 Size Format for Instagram Post)

The main types of videos that we are creating for EsperLuxe are watch reviews with custom graphics.

Videos are produced at least 2-3 weeks before publishing.

The Results

Our efforts have generated results. We’ve been closely monitoring the statistics of the videos in order to be able to make minute adjustments that would influence the videos performance. Below, we will share a few things that have happened since we launched the first video, on the 12th of August 2019.

The Creative Process & The Brand

In order to give our audience a clear introspective into our processes and how we work, we have decided to create a quick sample of how we were able to help out Swiss Watch Gang. A key goal of Effekt Agency is to demistify a creative agency’s process and involvement, in order to create transparency and trust between clients and agencies.

About the Brand

From Swiss watches, to international watchmakers, Swiss Watch Gang’s goal is to nurture the world of watches and teach the new generation all about it.

Apart from working with other content creators, the company also works in partnership with many brands, where the goal is to create intriguing and educational content. After production, they share it on all of their social media platforms, helping the brands extend their reach on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok. 

The Brand Identity

Due to the confidential nature of some of the briefings between us and our clients, we will only list a few examples, ensuring transparency without spilling all of the company’s secrets to its success. (Hint: It’s really boils down to hard work.) This also ensures that the company will be able to keep its audience on their toes with it’s future projects.

Step 01

Research

The first step in creating the brand identity was a thorough research phase, in which we sat down with Swiss Watch Gang and talked about their goals, feel, voice, motivations, philosophy and positioning.

All of this information helps us make designs that are more relevant and stand out, while also giving you an idea of what position your company can take in the industry space.

Step 02

Logo Design & Type

Having gathered the relevant information and art direction, we crafted a logo that has fit the attributes that Swiss Watch Gang and its audience would be drawn to. We have also identified the typography and color palettes to be used with the final logo and as usual, we gave the client multiple choices to choose from.

Step 03

Deliverables

The final step of the process was to create the printable deliverables for the brand. Since the brand’s presence is focusing on digital media, we were focused on creating just a few physical examples and also focused on animated content for the YouTube channel, such as the animated logo, banners, lower thirds for introducing guests and more.

The YouTube Channel

We started working on the YouTube Channel in April 2019. The first YouTube video went live on the 12th of August 2019. In our studio in Zürich, we built a physical set for the YouTube Channel to make that we keep the brand identity inside fo the videos, even on an environment level, pristine and consistent.

Step 01

Pre-Production

All videos are planned and discussed with Swiss Watch Gang in advance. Together we discuss the product, topic of the video, location and other idea, in order to make the video as valuable as possible for the target audience. We strongly believe that all created content should have significant added value to each viewer.

Step 02

Production

For a video we take about 1-2 days for the script and logistics, 1 day of filming, finishing it with 3 days of editing and color correction.

After the video is finalized, we start with the YouTube optimization which includes the custom thumbnail creation, intriguing video title, video description, video tag analysis and adding the cards and end screen buttons.

Step 03

Post-Production

We create teasers for each video, which is distributed on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. (9:16 Size Format for Instagram Story with custom graphics + 4:5 Size Format for Instagram Post)

The main types of videos that we are creating can be arranged in the categories of: watch reviews, watch collector interviews, brand visits, explanation videos, Q&A, as well as SWG Brand Story Videos.

Videos are produced at least 2-3 weeks before publishing.

The Results

Our efforts have generated results. We’ve been closely monitoring the statistics of the videos in order to be able to make minute adjustments that would influence the videos performance. Below, we will share a few things that have happened since we launched the first video, on the 12th of August 2019.

Overview

This product video features a mysterious play of light that teases the product in an otherworldly fashion. We think of the Klepcys Vertical Tourbillon as a truly fascinating watch, with, hopefully, a truly fascinating video to match.

The Product

The extremely innovative brand Cyrus Watches had contacted us in order to help them show off their latest innovation - the world's first skeletal wrist watch with a vertical tourbillon. Needles to say, we accepted.

The Location

The shots were captured in our custom studio in Zürich, which gives us maximal control over every light source and reflection, providing a perfect environment for capturing product footage.

The Timing

Our studio set up has become further refined, allowing us to capturefootage at maximal quality, within a minimum time frame. The entire project was done between May and June 2020.

About the Brand

The watch industry has numerous master craftsmen, yet few companies are driven by innovation as much as Cyrus Watches.

This independent Swiss watch manufacturer makes sure not to hide that fact, accordingly, their mission statement is simply “the conquest of innovation”. This can clearly be seen in their latest work, the Klepcys Verical Tourbillon Skeleton.

Light type is tastefully added to the mix, in order to convey relevant information, without overpowering the footage.

The Klepcys Vertical Tourbillon wrist watch is the first wrist watch to feature a vertical tourbillon – an addition to the mechanics of a watch escapement that increases accuracy.

Due to wrist watches being relatively small, this is quite a feat. We really wanted to emphasize this beautiful, one of a kind feature within our video, so our script was built from the ground up with the tourbillon in mind.

Thank you, Cyrus Watches

The Location

The footage was shot in our custom studio in Zürich, which gives us maximal control over every light source and reflection, providing a perfect environment for capturing product footage.

The Client

Beyer Chronometrie requested help with creating an interesting teaser for their second-hand luxury watch selling service. As usual, we were more than excited to oblige.

The Location

The video is a mix of the picturesque urban environment found in Zürich, Switzerland, mixed with the breathtaking skylines of New York, USA. In other words, class, meets the modern world.

The Timing

Due to the video being filmed in two different continents, we started filming in early September, 2019 and delivered the final piece by the end of October, 2019.

About the Brand

Luxurious, quality-made products often take a long time and precious resources to craft, in return, they are practically timeless.

Throwing away perfectly looking and working products is a serious environmental waste and Beyer Chronometrie has understood that since the year 2004, when they started their Trouvaillen (which translates as treasure) initiative.

An energetic, cinematic edit that attempts to subtly shift the stigma associated with second-hand goods.

By focusing on selling second-hand watches with certificates of excellence, Beyer Chronometrie offers a service that benefits both the user and the environment at the same time.

In an effort to prove that the stigma attached with second-hand products is unfounded, we have decided to capture beautiful shots, mix them with smooth swing music and show just how timeless expertly-crafted products actually are.

Thank you, Beyer Chronometrie

The Client

We were contacted by Wololo to create a 3D animated short about the characters of their brand new board game, Cryptomania.

The Location

The entire short was created in our Offices in Zurich. We outsourced the sound design and tracks, which were created in Slovenia.

The Timing

The concept phase started towards the end of March 2018, with the final project being delivered on the 1st of June, 2018.

About the Brand

Having lots of friends and family who didn’t understand their interest in crypto, Wololo tried to think of the best and simplest possible way to teach them the basics of crypto trading.

They came up with the idea of mixing in a little fun by turning it into a board game that will let them experience the thrilling world of crypto first-hand!

A delightful short that combines the mystery of exploring a new world, with the concepts of Crypto.

The game simulates the spine-tingling thrill of trading and mining cryptocurrencies by combining play money with physical coins that represent cryptocurrencies.

To spice things up further, the game board is filled with hazards such hacking attacks, sudden market shutdowns, power outages, and a bunch of other dangers faced by real-world crypto traders and miners every day.
