Photographing an Advertising Campaign Against the Clock: Brisbane Campaign & Lifestyle Photography

When every second counts, the professional shines!

What are the benefits of hiring a professional photographer?

There are a myriad of answers to that question…. image quality, experience to deal with tricky situations, the right equipment for the job, people skills… and much more.

But one of the answers some don’t think about that can be equally important… delivery on time, no matter what.

That seems like an almost “goes without saying” kind of comment. In many ways that’s true and is easy to accomplish with a bit of planning and forewarning of deadlines, arranging proper lead times for all the behind the scenes planning, post production work, delivery times etc as well as planing the actual shoot.

But sometimes planning goes out the window and delivery of high quality images on the tightest deadlines are required if a client is to seize every opportunity that comes their way, and that is where a team like LP Commercial Photography shines… Like when you need to create a multi-execution billboard advertising campaign from scratch in four days over Christmas!

Olympia Transformations Sanctuary gym contacted us on December 22nd with a dilemma. They had been offered a slot on two of the most prominent electronic billboard locations in Brisbane over the New Year period but had days to have their campaign images literally shot and put up in lights.

From the initial call on the 22nd, there followed a fast planning phone call to put in place a photoshoot the following day that could capture all of the fantastic atmosphere and activities at the gym from beginner friendly training to Muay Thai kick boxing fight club to provide around ten to fifteen different advertising executions.

At 4.30pm the next day the shoot was underway, working within a live gym environment and around people and classes to get the shots with the gym provided talent.

By mid morning December 24th we had culled and carried our an initial processing of the images, exported them and delivered proof to the client for their consideration.

Twenty-four hours later the client’s selection had been made and by Christmas evening the selection had been fully processed, approved and put in the hands of the client’s designer.

A couple of days later the campaign is live and displaying above one of the busiest road intersections in the city constantly scrolling through multiple executions for the add campaign.

Obviously we all like to work with good and spacious timelines, but when the pressure is on and there is literally no time left, but there can also be no compromise on quality, that’s when you need the experience and ability of a professional photography team that will do whatever it takes to meet your deadline more than ever…. that’s when you contact us at LP Commercial Photography.

REAL Collaboration delivers REAL results for Fulton Hogan: Advertising & Marketing Campaign

Brisbane Commercial Advertising and Marketing Photography

Case Study: REAL Collaboration delivers REAL results for Clients Fulton Hogan

Concept:

LP Commercial Photography collaborated with Cross Copywriting & Creative to plan and create marketing and advertising imagery for a new marketing campaign for Fulton Hogan featuring their core values - combining the message that diversity = strength with Fulton Hogan's core people values - the REAL values

Message:

The REAL people of Fulton Hogan campaign was centred around the message that there is strength in diversity, which should be celebrated in all its forms

The Client:

Fulton Hogan Construction is a leading, fully integrated civil construction and maintenance business that has been building, maintaining and connecting the Asia Pacific Region for over 80 years. One of their key people values is known as the REAL values, which stand for Respect, Energy & Effort, Attitude and Leadership. Fulton Hogan’s REAL values are promoted company wide.

The business identified diversity as a key driver of their business and asked Cross Copywriting and Creative to conceptualise and deliver an internal campaign that would to put diversity front and centre and LP Commercial to create the imagery to align with this vision.

CC+C and LP Commercial collaborated their skills to successfully complete the project. CC+C presented a strategically sound creative concept that not only resonated with staff, but also had potential for a recruitment drive, to attract REAL people. We created professional, emotive imagery with their staff on site portraying those REAL people. The concept combined the message that diversity = strength with Fulton Hogan's core people values - the REAL values.

The Collaboration - Words from the client

LP Commercial Photography partnered with CC+C to deliver the marketing and advertising images for the HR campaign for Fulton Hogan Construction – the REAL People of Fulton Hogan.

Testimonial words from our collaborative client Philippa (CC+C)

“CC+C tasked LP Commercial Photography to capture eye-catching images that would drive home the strategic message that there is strength in diversity, emotive photos that drives home the benefits and beauty of strength in difference.

LP Commercial Photography added value to the overall campaign from the moment they were approached, investing themselves in the outcome of the project.

They guided the client and CC+C on the process involved in shooting a large number of laypeople on a live construction site. They were cognisant of the workplace health and safety requirements, attending a site induction before commencing the shoot on the day.

Andrew and Emily planned the shoot to minimise the impact of their presence on site. They selected an area on the site that would serve to produce enough variety in the shots themselves without impacting on the site itself. They saw in an active construction site how a piece of discarded metal or a temporary retaining wall would translate into beauty in photos.

The resulting images surpassed the expectations of the client who has already been in touch about a second shoot for a Fulton Hogan branding campaign.

The images were used in block mounted A1 posters to display in all FH offices around Australia and NZ. Flyers and post cards were also produced.

The posters were unveiled at the National Launch of the Diversity Strategy in an event in Qld attended by FH directors and board members from around the country.

Not only is everyone at Fulton Hogan who sees them extraordinarily impressed, but the project became the first in many collaborative efforts between CC+C and LP Commercial Photography.”

The two businesses have since partnered frequently on a variety of other successful projects. The relationship allows each creative professional to focus entirely on what they do best, trusting each other to do the same. The end result is always greater than the sum of its parts: Excellent Words and Perfect Picture that surpass client expectations every time.

Health, Wellness & Fitness Marketing Campaigns: Standing out in a Competitive Market with Customised Commercial Advertising & Marketing Imagery

Marketing Campaigns for Health, Wellness & Fitness Professionals: Standing out in a Competitive Market with Customised Commercial Advertising & Marketing Imagery

What’s the most attention grabbing thing when someone searches for you, your company or your product? 

IMAGERY

This is the first contact many people will have with you. Simply having well taken imagery is not enough. At a glance, those images must also communicate and uphold your brand identity and core values, whether that’s advertising campaign photography, social media content or printed marketing material. In a crowded marketplace, identifying photographers who can achieve both stunning images and effectively communicate brand values is critical.

Get it wrong, and the best case scenario is you will need to spend more money on more imagery, worst case scenario is the imagery could alienate your consumers and clientele and have a negative effect on your brand and bottom line. Too often, people buy photography purely on cost. Then find that the cheapest option only ends up costing far more in the long run.
