The Challenge

International Paper wanted its customers to use IPGoBox for box orders. Many still called in for status updates or waited for answers. The video had to show the platform’s main features, like ordering, order status, and trailer, invoice and BOL lookups, in one minute.

02

Our Solution

We built the story around two business partners at a small company. Sharon waits on updates while Bob checks the yard for the right trailer. Then IPGoBox comes in. Bob orders from the office, from a plane and from a coffee shop, and checks status in seconds. The video ends with the box reaching a family at home, tying the platform to the people it serves.

Script

"When the cow first swallows her food, it goes into the rumen. The food here is only half-chewed, and it gets mixed with lots of digestive juices and friendly bacteria."

Action

Food spins inside the rumen, mixing with juices and little bacteria characters.
