Project Overview

Branded Documentary
Corporate Testimonial

Fitbit teamed up with Chicago leather maker, Horween Leather, to produce the wristbands for the Fitbit Ionic. One of the oldest tanneries and one of only a few remaining, Horween Leather’s time-tested tanning techniques brought a level of sophistication to the Fitbit Ionic, and we were commissioned to create a piece to highlight that partnership. We focused on the tactile and quality experience leather brings to a product. The video features close-up shots of the leather patterns, and interviews with Yumi from Fitbit, as well as Skip Horween himself.

The behind-the-scenes shots of the manufacturing process, combined with footage of design diagrams, different leathers, and Skip’s interview make this a very effective branded short documentary that evokes craftsmanship and quality.

We produced a 2-minute and 30-second video, which ran on all major social media platforms.
