Maersk: Pentland Brands “Growth”
Role: Creative Lead / Director & Editor
Client: Maersk
The Challenge
Maersk wanted a B2B brand film that communicated the scale and sophistication of its logistics services—without feeling like traditional corporate content.
My Creative Direction
I worked with Maersk to identify their client, Pentland Brands (Speedo, The North Face) as the ideal storytelling partner, then reframed logistics through the lens of athletic performance, movement, and precision.
To bring this idea to life, I developed a bold visual concept: transforming an active shipping terminal into a BMX stunt environment. Working closely with operations teams, we reconfigured shipping containers into ramps and pathways, staging a high-energy athletic performance inside a real logistics hub.
Why It Mattered
Reimagined B2B storytelling through culture and spectacle
Balanced operational constraints with creative ambition
Created an experience designed for film, but rooted in a real physical environment
Impact
Previous Maersk brand films averaged ~2,000 views
This film reached 16,000 views within initial release
Continued organic growth to 300,000+ views within 9 months
Demonstrated the effectiveness of a more culturally driven, story-first approach to B2B communication
