Ekwil: "We don't sell dreams — we sell projects."
A hero film, social series, and brand-voice anchor for floating offshore wind's pure player — Technip Energies × SBM Offshore joint venture. Filmed across Monaco and Paris in summer 2026.
Move the story from PowerPoints to projects.
Ekwil is a 50/50 joint venture between Technip Energies and SBM Offshore — a pure player in floating offshore wind. Approximately 40 people. By the time we engaged, they had delivered Provence Grand Large (PGL) — three floaters, EPCI — and were ready to move from "we're going to deliver" to "we have delivered."
The brief was specific: capture the voices of the engineering and commercial leads who actually built it, in a film that an investor, a client, and a future hire could all watch and immediately understand what Ekwil is — and what they aren't.
Thirteen people. Two locations. No scripts.
We filmed 13 team members across two shoot days — Monaco at the SBM head office, then Paris at Technip Energies. People-first, conversational, no rigid scripts. Participants were told not to over-prepare. The storyboard set direction; the questions guided the conversation.
The output was an anchor hero film, 40+ social cutdowns thematically grouped under four series (One Team One Dream, Proof in Action, Agile Innovators, Humans of Ekwil), and a proof-content library covering PGL case studies, animations, and thought leadership.

04 Outcome
Their first integrated brand film. Now the anchor of every pitch deck.
"For the first time we have a film that sounds like us. Not corporate gloss. People who actually built the projects, saying why they did."
Used across investor presentations, customer pitches, talent recruitment, and Ekwil's WindEurope 2026 stand. The social series ran on LinkedIn for 12 weeks following delivery, generating Ekwil's highest-engagement quarter on the platform.
