FICO World ’24 Event Promo

While an event might only last a day or two, the experience of the attendees is timeless, providing the best proof of success.

Every year, FICO World brings a wide range of business innovation and data science experts together under one roof. As the media partner of choice for the last 10 years, they turned to us when they wanted to showcase the variety and impact of their technology sessions and seminars, and to explain how it informs and benefits their customers, clients and attendees.

Armed with multiple cameras and thought-provoking Q&As throughout the weeklong event, we collated and pieced together this film for them from FICO World ’23, to advertise for their next event in 2024.

Capturing the insights, the spirit and the milestones of an event is the next logical step towards retaining customers and growing interest in future events.

Be An Intelligence Hero

We created our Hero Booth to be set up at FICO World 2023 – a chance to turn the cameras on the attendees themselves to see how they resonated with some of the more personal themes at the event.

The Hero Booth is our own invention, developed over the years at large events to capture the voice of the people: delegates are invited in to an unsuspecting sound-proof space, away from hustle and bustle, and asked unexpected questions provoking a spontaneous response.

We opened this 1500+ event with a theme-setting film on the possibilities of AI to help us be the heroes of change. This film was then shown at the close of the event, to consolidate attendee’s answers to the question of what it mean to be a hero.

It’s a great celebration of all the work attendees do, the businesses they represent and the power in their hands to change the lives of their customers.

This film reflects our ethos of putting the spotlight on the people behind a brand and its products and services. Films like these create connections with viewers and contextualise what can be otherwise complex or technical subject matter. It’s a great example of an unscripted film that gives people the chance to speak from the heart. There’s no greater truth about an event than that of the people who attend it, allowing them to be genuine ambassadors for your brand.

The beauty of this format is we can get several edits / films out of one sitting. By asking all the delegates the same 3-5 questions, we created a series that gave all the dozens of interviewees a chance to make an appearance. A series of films films allows for regular output for social media.

These can be quite emotional films (a seasoned producer is key!) and have the potential to be shared online by the individuals themselves, growing your network and raising engagement in, and the visibility of, your brand across social media channels.

We wish more businesses and networks would use this creation to capture their ecosystem.

The secret is in two areas: our interaction with the individuals, appealing to the person behind the mask and creating an environment that allows this to come forward; our love of the subtleties of humanity comes across in the edit and choice of music.

The Hero Booth, like our Instabooth created for FICO World 2018 at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami, is a great example of how we like to create our own solutions that maximise on all elements of an event to humanise it and give it longevity, such as making the most of the human capital to create some cute content.

It’s what we’re all about: truth & magic.


Digital Jane: Mortgage Originations

The next step in the journey for Digital Jane. She and her boyfriend take the plunge to buy a condo while behind the scenes, FICO’s Platform analyses her data to evaluate and approve their mortgage.

The original series created for FICO was so successful, we were commissioned to make a second series, helping script storylines that reflect the opportunities that FICO’s technology provide to customers and their consumers.

Using stock shots, we created a fictitious character, telling her story in a series of 6 chapters that explain how banks, insurance companies and 3rd party retailers can best interact with customers when and where it matters.

This film is featured on the FICO website, and this series was the ‘talk of the town’ at FICO World 2023, has become a great sales tool for FICO and has helped their software engineers appreciate the impact their work is having on the business.


Join the Intelligence Revolution

Our event opening film for FICO World 2023 in Florida which put the focus on the visionary changemakers that have driven intelligence revolutions in history.

Created using stock shots, stills, animations and a voice over, the film debuted to a fantastic response from over 1500 delegates gathered at one of the world’s largest gatherings of data science and business innovation experts.

In the words of FICO CMO, Nikhil Behl: “I get chills every time I watch this video!”


The Anatomy of Implementation

Software implementation might not sound exciting, but the people who make it happen certainly are!

We spent a couple of days bedding down with some of the world’s brightest programmers to see what it takes to get complex software that can decide people’s financial outcomes to run flawlessly on multi-million pound financial platforms. The result is this candid look into the world of C&R Software, which reveals how their team’s dedication and use of innovation have enabled an impeccable track record of delivery of software implementation.

As a showcase of company culture, this was a great opportunity to capture the passion of their team when describing this important part of what defines them as a business.


Fighting the Good Fight

Credit Bureau APC Intelidat helps the Panamanian banking industry fight the good fight when it comes to financial crime. With more than half a billion transactions checked for unusual behaviour every day, the success of APC’s contribution is based on its strong partnership with FICO.

In this short film we got to the heart of that relationship to put the spotlight on a partnership that serves as a powerful testimonial.

This film was created as part of a series of testimonials shot over two days in a bespoke studio set up at FICO World. Setting up a studio in one place and capturing a variety of content is a great way to maximise ROI at an event, while experts gathered in one place – and means less disruption when compared to trying to achieve the same in a workplace. An additional benefit of a temporary studio set up at an event is that the same film team would be on hand for all recordings, making for a more consistent look and feel for the full suite of assets generated.

The Power of Partnership

Commercial partnerships bring out the best in companies. Collaboration, transparency and trust are just some of the key takeaways that these relationships foster.

Our focus on this recent film for FICO was to define what partnerships mean to them and their customers.


Role of Public Health Informatics

When it comes to making films for our clients, getting to the heart of what makes them tick plays a central role within the narrative, helping us communicate the essence of what they do.

Fronted by the Public Health Informatics Institute‘s Executive Director, Vivian Singletary, this film delves deep into the company’s purpose whilst explaining their role in providing access to health informatics (the study of methods that help process & distribute patient data) so that public health professionals can improve lives.


FICO Q&A chats

Lack of travel during the pandemic forced us to develop new ways of working and with great success: accessibility and speed gave rise to a whole new way of delivering content, redefining the way our clients could communicate.

When using a crew wasn’t feasible, we had to come up with a way of creating content that was more engaging than the typical video call apps. With this in mind, we created these 2-way chats, recorded using Riverside. The result was these FICO Q&A Chats, which brought people together, even when apart.

The platform proved extremely useful in providing great industry insights which served as powerful assets that form part of an employer brand strategy. In fact they’ve become so popular that other clients have started to commission us to make these videos when budgets are tighter and fast turnarounds are needed.

 


W1N as one

It’s amazing what can be done with remote Riverside meeting links and some good production these days.

Working with our resident in-house producer, Nat Low, we captured the winning spirit that drives FICO‘s salesforce, to be shown at an all-staff event.
