- about the project
How do you make an energy-saving initiative feel deeply human and unforgettable? For ActewAGL, the vision was to move beyond a simple sales message and create a cinematic moment that everyone could relate to. We transformed the frustrating experience of an old, inefficient heater into a dramatic breakup story, personifying the appliance as a lover who’s only there for you half the time.
To bring this narrative to life, we leaned into high-end, cinematic storytelling. Rejecting a typical commercial feel, we crafted a moody, intimate scene complete with dramatic lighting and a heartfelt performance. This high-production-value approach turned a simple concept into a poignant and humorous short film, capturing the audience’s imagination and drawing them into the story.
By framing the offer in such a creative and emotive way, the video does more than just sell a product—it builds a powerful brand connection. The memorable story elevates ActewAGL’s message, cutting through the noise and inspiring viewers to take action. This is how you turn a practical solution into a story that resonates, builds brand personality, and drives results.
