Project (9)
~ Our Council Our Stories


Background:
This was a project I completed as part of my employment at Southern Marketing Design Media. The brief was to create a series of 8 videos showcasing the lesser-known work of our client, Limerick City and County Council. My role was director, producer, editor and client liaison. 



Challenge:
Make ordinary people interested in the work of the local authority.



Solution:
Focus on the human stories of the employees and beneficiaries of the Council.



Execution:
We produced a series of videos based around interviews with people in the Limerick area, using our signature animation style to mark them as part of this series. These were posted on Limerick.ie and garnered high engagement and public interest, including press releases in the local papers. 

Please click on the images on the left hand side to see a selection of the videos.

Overall, these videos garnered over 1 million impressions and 14,000 engagements across social media.
