Research and video production for Wavin’s #PipeUp series

Wavin's #PipeUp series gave plumbers a discussion shaped by their own trade concerns. A plumber survey informed the topics, contributors brought first-hand experience, and the recorded conversations became branded clips for Wavin's social channels.

Research with plumbers.

A survey of plumbers helped identify the issues the series would cover. That gave the production a basis in the audience’s own concerns and provided specific topics for the contributors to discuss.

The contributors could respond from their own experience. Preparation established what the conversation needed to cover, while leaving room for the trade perspective and reactions that made it worth watching.

Planning and filming the PipeUp series.

We selected the contributors, planned the discussions and organised the recording.

Wavin’s Ceri Heathcote credited the planning and organisation with taking pressure off her and helping filming run smoothly.

Distributing the films and supporting content.

We edited the recordings into branded soundbites for Facebook, Instagram and other channels. Individual contributions could then be used beyond the original discussion, giving Wavin a series of pieces to share with its audience.

Across the campaign, Wavin reported reach of 163,000+, alongside 135,000+ engagements and 10,000+ video plays.

“Their in depth planning and careful organisation of the whole project really helped take the pressure off me and ensured the filming ran smoothly.”
