Building on our ongoing partnership with Europe’s leading climate innovation initiative, Climate-KIC, Cloud9Media was commissioned to produce a dynamic new series of short films celebrating the impact of Climathon.

Following our previous work creating presentation videos that introduced the Climathon concept and its global reach, this new project focused on the winners – inspiring individuals and teams whose ideas are driving real change. The goal was to highlight Climathon as a launchpad for climate action, with each winner answering the simple but powerful question: “What’s your next step?”

To meet the client’s brief for attention-grabbing, social-first video content, we created four 20-second reels optimised for digital channels. The campaign combined User Generated Content (UGC) with professional post-production. We developed a simple filming guide for participants, enabling us to collect optimal-quality self-shot footage. From there, we curated the strongest clips – those with the clearest messaging and best production value, and transformed them into punchy, engaging micro-stories.

With crisp editing, bold motion graphics, and enhance sound design, the result is a set of vibrant, forward-looking films that showcase Climathon not just as an event, but as a catalyst for climate innovation and meaningful change.
