As part of The 8 Percent, my team and I produced the music video for The Strength You Can Trust. Filmed across Los Angeles and Melbourne, this lush, vibrant clip featured striking visuals and a strong narrative, starring local Melbourne actors, including Whitney Duff. The project blurred the lines between music and branded content, as the album’s songs were thematically tied to business and sales, designed to drive awareness of the artist’s sales enterprise.

Objectives

• To create a visually compelling music video that captured the energy and message of the song.
• To merge artistic expression with branded storytelling, aligning the music’s themes with the artist’s business.
• To engage both music and business audiences, leveraging the video as a marketing tool for the artist’s broader brand.

Execution

Dual-Locale Filming: The project was shot across Los Angeles and Melbourne, bringing together international crew and aesthetics, and high-production value.

Cinematic Visuals: The video was designed to be lush and colourful, with dynamic cinematography that enhanced the song’s tone.

Brand Integration: While a music video at its core, the project was also a form of branded content, subtly reinforcing the business themes of the album.

Outcomes

• Cross-Market Engagement: The video resonated with both music fans and business professionals, serving as a unique promotional tool for the artist’s sales brand.
• High Production Value: The film’s cinematic look and strong performances elevated the project, garnering attention from both music and film audiences.
• Strategic Marketing Asset: The video played a role in the broader promotional strategy for the album and the artist’s business, demonstrating the power of storytelling-driven branded content.
