Mamapool’s ‘Action Movie’ campaign for Hitachi with Park Village

Mamapool’s ‘Action Movie’ campaign for Hitachi with Park Village
Mamapool used humour and optimism in its B2B campaign for Hitachi highlighting how the electronics company is making sustainable changes to its business model. Starring a confused action hero, the campaign positions a Hitachi rep as the character who knows how to save the world through low-carbon and digital technologies.
Instead of doing multiple campaigns in different regions and countries, the team created a singular campaign for the US and Europe, overseen by Hitachi Japan, which was a first for the brand. Instead of shooting a second film separately, the script was written so it could be shot at the same time.
The full-length video in the US had a video complete watch rate of 28% on LinkedIn compared with an average of 1.6%. On YouTube, the completion rate was 32% for the full film (more than two minutes in length) and 40% for the 60-second cutdown. Overall the action movie had 52 million views, 515,000 website visits and 512,000 interactions on social media.
