Vision Video

The working world is pretty different than it was a few years ago. With most companies embracing a hybrid work scenario, many people are questioning why they need to go back to the office at all. Microsoft realized the answer to that question is each other—getting valuable in-person connections that lead to spontaneous ideas and collaboration that you might not get working remotely.

Microsoft needed a video to accompany the announcement of Microsoft Places at the 2022 Ignite conference. Rather than harping on the pain points, we wanted to make it more of a vision-casting video — a week-in-the-life of our character when Microsoft Places is fully integrated at their place of work.

Along with our friends at Wild Goats Creative, we crafted a live-action story that showed how seamless the working experience could be while using Microsoft Places.
