Showcasing Expertise: SVG’s Thought-Leadership Video Production for LEK Consulting

A Skyline Backdrop for Thought-Leadership

Skillman Video Group (SVG) recently embarked on an exciting project for LEK Consulting, set against the stunning backdrop of downtown Boston.

Overlooking the historic North End and the iconic city harbor, this shoot aimed to create thought-leadership videos featuring some of LEK’s brightest minds.

These videos would allow key executives to put a face and voice to their areas of expertise, effectively communicating their insights to a broader audience.

Crafting Executive Insights

LEK Consulting, a global powerhouse with numerous departments and management teams, sought to generate executive insights (EIs) that could be easily understood by businesses and investors.

SVG was tasked with providing the video production expertise needed to help these “masterminds” at LEK articulate their intellectual endeavors and the potential success they envision.

By showcasing their thought leadership in a clear and engaging manner, SVG aimed to give LEK a powerful tool for sharing their ideas.

Coordinating Across Continents

Given LEK Consulting’s vast reach, with leaders and experts located in major cities around the world, orchestrating this video shoot required meticulous planning. SVG coordinated closely with LEK’s Boston office, as well as their London counterparts, to ensure that key representatives from various sectors could be present.

These sectors included Agro-Business, Automotive, Private Equity, Packaging, Chemical, Industrial Construction, and more. The logistical challenge of bringing these individuals together was significant, but it was essential for capturing a comprehensive range of insights.

Preparing for the Shoot

Christina Skillman, CEO of SVG, played a crucial role in the preparation process. She corresponded with each participant, going over their dialogue and ensuring that their commentary felt both prepared and organic.

This careful planning was designed to make the video content feel natural while maintaining a professional edge. On the day of the shoot, the SVG team arrived early to set up the best lighting, sound, and camera equipment in one of the top conference rooms of the downtown skyscraper.

A Day of Filming and Collaboration

The representatives from LEK came prepared, enthusiastic, and passionate. Their readiness allowed them to personalize their stories and ideas, conveying their expertise and potential through engaging, casual conversations with the camera.

The day was long but filled with incredible city views and insightful discussions. Each participant brought their unique perspective to the table, making the content rich and diverse.

Capturing the Global Perspective

One of the challenges of this project was capturing the global perspective of LEK Consulting.

With leaders and intellectual entrepreneurs spread across the globe, it was vital to ensure that the shoot could represent this diversity.

By coordinating with the London office and planning the shoot meticulously, SVG was able to include voices from various sectors and regions, providing a holistic view of LEK’s capabilities.

Bringing Ideas to Life

The end result of this extensive planning and coordination was a series of thought-leadership videos that effectively showcased the talent and expertise within LEK Consulting.

These videos not only highlighted the individuals’ insights but also brought visual life to their ideas. The combination of stunning visuals, professional production quality, and engaging content ensured that LEK’s messages were conveyed powerfully.

A Partnership for Success

The collaboration between SVG and LEK Consulting was a testament to the power of preparation and professional execution.

By working closely together, they were able to create content that would give LEK an excellent upper hand in sharing their ideas and work. The footage captured in both Boston and London will serve as a valuable asset for LEK, helping them communicate their thought leadership to a global audience.

Looking Ahead

This project underscored the importance of video production in today’s business landscape.

As companies continue to seek ways to effectively communicate their expertise and insights, the role of professional video production becomes increasingly critical.

SVG’s work with LEK Consulting is a prime example of how thoughtful planning, professional execution, and a focus on storytelling can create compelling content that resonates with audiences around the world.
