9 MILLION VIEWS.
48 HOURS.
When the Trades Union Congress needed to amplify the story of 72 workers protesting unfair dismissal by HelloFresh, we helped turn the campaign into something impossible to ignore.
Solo-shot and directed by Built Different, the resulting video reached more than 9 million views across social platforms in 48 hours, including 7 million on Instagram alone.
Proof that purpose-led filmmaking doesn’t have to choose between substance and reach. Tell the right story the right way and people pay attention.
