THE MAKING OF “THE OFFICE NEMESIS”

The Anderson Group approached MAKE/FILMS early in 2017 to produce a video called, “The Office Nemesis,” for their client, Armstrong Flooring. We jumped at the opportunity to bring their fun concept to life through set building, comedic casting, and practical and digital visual effects. MAKE/FILMS is incredibly proud of this piece and of all of the creative and hardworking people who were involved in its execution.

THE RESULTS

We smashed expectations. Not only was the work a big hit at trade shows, Armstrong’s email campaign featuring the video outperformed past campaigns with an open-rate average of 35%, which is 10% above the manufacturing industry’s standard. Also, in a little over a year, the spot became the second-most-viewed commercial video on Armstrong Flooring’s YouTube channel. The client also ran a (:30) teaser ad of the video on YouTube to drive traffic to their website that generated 6,615 views from 355,486 ad impressions.
