2. The challenge facing nella
What prompted Nella to look to professional video content? Well, Nella’s aim was one familiar to many businesses.

3. professional video as a solution for nella
Facing this challenge, what brought Nella Cutlery Services into contact with Blueprint Film’s video production services? Their team learned about us from a BNI connection through their social media provider, and initial discussions soon began.
After taking the time to learn more about their company, together we began to draw up a video content strategy informed by Nella’s needs and goals. From there, ideas started flowing. The format of a brand film soon emerged as best fit for Nella’s objectives.
How did we approach this? Nella expressed to us that it was crucial for potential customers would fully grasp their range of services. Therefore, we filmed the different processes behind their work at their Kent-based headquarters – from knife-sharpening by hand to chopping board refurbishment, dispatch, and all the service provisions they offer to their clients.
Next, we went on the road with one of Nella’s drivers. What did accompanying them like this accomplish? Nella let us witness first-hand the importance of their customers, the integration and the friendly, personal nature of their business operations.
Capturing the real businesses and clients they serve was important to Nella. So we shot the hand-over of the old knives, the delivery of the new ones, and their knives in action – demonstrating their sharpness. By focusing on real business interactions, these scenes served as authentic social proof of their services’ quality from existing clients.

From working with Blueprint Film, Nella Cutlery Services ended up with a single brand film that showcased their entire process. At the same time, it also established the brand, scale and experience of the company. All in under two minutes of video.
