We covered the London Marathon 2024 for the NSPCC
The Brief
The NSPCC required a high-energy, emotionally resonant video campaign captured during the London Marathon. The content focused on translating the determination and celebration of the day into inspiring, story-led video assets designed to drive brand awareness and future runner recruitment. The brief required specific content delivery designed to build text animations, alongside emotive, documentary-driven content compiled from on-the-day interviews to showcase the diversity and deep personal meaning behind why people choose to run for the organisation.
What We Did
Pre-Production: We mapped out key filming locations along the marathon route (start line, cheer points, and finish line), coordinated crew logistics, and pre-selected priority runners to track.
The Production Challenge: To keep pace with the race, our agile two-camera crew braved unrelenting rain across five distinct London locations. We had to sprint between spots using London bikes, the tube, and taxis, all while hauling heavy gear and keeping the equipment dry in the British weather.
Filming on the Day: We delivered fast-moving, on-the-ground coverage using lightweight, stabilised setups to navigate dense crowds. Through on-the-day interviews, we captured authentic, emotional reactions that highlighted the incredible diversity and personal stories of the runners, whilst ensuring the NSPCC’s iconic green branding and cheer stations were front and centre.
Post-Production & Content Strategy: We crafted a suite of punchy, thumb-stopping social media assets and a master campaign wrap-up video, delivering clean soundbites perfectly optimised for typography and text animation.
