Made Reel by Real Campaign

Our trusted client, the Directors Guild of Canada, Ontario, came to us with a challenge: launch their Key Creatives Directory with a campaign that would resonate across the film and television industry. They needed creative concepts and strategy that spoke directly to their audience while celebrating the talented professionals who make Ontario productions shine.

We delivered “Made Reel by Real,” a campaign rooted in the work and talent of real people behind the scenes. The wordplay says it all: real creatives making reel magic. We created custom kinetic type motion videos optimized for social media in three sizes, bringing energy and movement to the message. The concept’s success led to an expansion for TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), where we adapted the campaign across billboards, screen projections, and print ads.

This project was a chance to flex our muscles as a lean agency, delivering strategic, multi-platform work that hit the mark. DGC Ontario’s Anne-Marie Stuart said it best: “From the get-go, they listened and understood our needs. We loved all the concepts they pitched and appreciated how they fit into a larger strategy that met our business goals…. We had a lot of fun rolling out this campaign and are really proud of it.”
