Case study: Afterpay x Bailey Nelson

The brief

Afterpay partnered with Story Machine to produce a suite of videos for their B2B platform, highlighting how their products help Bailey Nelson grow.

The videos needed to be engaging, informative, and visually appealing, capturing the essence of both brands.

Budget Category: Medium ($50k – $80k)

How we approached the vide

Our concept for the Afterpay x Bailey Nelson series was to create a narrative-driven campaign that takes viewers through the history and growth of Bailey Nelson. We structured the series around interviews with the founders, Nick and Pete, interspersed with b-roll footage of their journey. The videos, directed by Turei Cooze, featured scenes at iconic locations such as Sydney’s Bondi Beach and various Bailey Nelson stores, blending interviews with visually captivating shots of their products and stores.

To ensure authenticity and engagement, we used a mix of A and B camera angles for interviews, custom GFX transitions, and b-roll footage that showcased the vibrant and dynamic nature of both brands. The videos highlighted key moments in Bailey Nelson’s history, their innovative approach to eyewear, and the role Afterpay played in their growth.
