Fifth Castle Media

As someone passionate about storytelling and bringing brands to life, I’m excited to share a recent project we completed at Fifth Castle Media for BCCS, a company specialising in strata cleaning and gardening services.

Our mission was to capture the essence of BCCS - their philosophy, dedication, and the unique value they bring to their clients. The result is a powerful brand story video that BCCS now uses across multiple platforms, from their website to email signatures, and before every sales presentation.

Working closely with the BCCS team, we delved deep into their operations. We highlighted their commitment to creating welcoming environments, making residents feel at home the moment they arrive at their buildings. This philosophy, championed by directors Brent and Joel, is what sets BCCS apart. They believe in going the extra mile, focusing on the small details that transform ordinary spaces into exceptional homes.

One of the most rewarding parts of this project was showcasing the professionalism and dedication of the BCCS team. From everyday cleaning services to specialised tasks like carpet steam cleaning and high-pressure washing, their team’s expertise and commitment to excellence are evident. The video also features their experienced gardening team, who bring a wealth of knowledge in plant care and seasonality, ensuring every green space is beautifully maintained.

What truly makes BCCS special is their relationship with their clients. They work closely with both Strata Managers and residents, ensuring that the buildings are not only clean but also maintained to the highest standards. This collaborative approach makes a real difference, easing the workload for managers and enhancing the living experience for residents.

For me, this project exemplifies the power of a well-crafted brand story. It’s more than just a marketing tool; it’s a way to connect with your audience on a deeper level, to showcase your values and the people who embody them.

I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done for BCCS and grateful for the opportunity to help them shine. If you’re looking to elevate your brand with a compelling story, let’s connect and make it happen.

It's the founders vision that dictates where the company is heading to, and it's the culture and values that they live by that makes them get there.
I'm so lucky that as part of my job I get to know, talk to, and learn from some of the most amazing people out there. And Lisa Lewers, the CEO and Founder of Lewers- a market research agency, is one of those people who really made a huge impression on me.
I saw first-hand what she achieved and the culture she fosters at the office. Her team loves her, they all take pride in their jobs and and are absolutely a fantastic bunch.

This video is now featured on their website, socials and is being used in proposals- helping them communicate their passion, knowledge, skills but most importantly what they stand for.

When Lewer's were launching their new brand they wanted to make sure they make a great impression at the conference they were sponsoring. We were tasked to use their new brand and key messaging to create a video that can be played on the big screen during the conference. The challenge was to make it impactful even though it will be played with no sound!

When you plan your filming opportunities right you can get the most out of it.
While we were documenting a recent conference for Non For Profits organised by Connecting Up and powered by Infoxchange, we were ready to (properly) film impromptu remarks from some of the attendees and VIPs. We set up in a separate room and recorded a quite a few of interviews to document their thoughts on the company and the value it brings to their community.
By using a mixture of short statements from many people we were able to create a dynamic, authentic and authoritative video that is designed to speak directly to NFPs.

We got so much content that we will be producing a whole series of those covering different topics for the sector.

One of our best clients asked us to create a video for them to document their community engagement, "but not in a cringey way".
We also wanted to find an angle that will work both for Civilmart and the Longwood Football and Netball Club, something that shows the good work they're doing in the community.

When we arrived in the tiny town of Longwood, VIC to film we were greeted by beautiful surroundings and very genuine locals. Instantly, they made us feel like we belong there, and they were so proud of what their community accomplished. With every person we spoke we found passion, pride and an open heart.
We felt sad leaving the place that night.

When you watch this film you will understand how much the club means to them and how grateful they are to all their sponsors.

Please, share it far and wide!

We recently filmed a "massive" video for one of our favourite clients. We visited 6 of their factories all around Australia to capture footage that represents their company.

Since we had all this amazing B-roll we used it to create this short, looping video banner for their homepage, to bring jaw-dropping visuals to support their messaging.

This is a great example of how we can repurpose existing footage to get the most out of it.

Building relationships in business is a crucial part of growth.
Surrounding yourself with like-minded people, who share your values and are there to help you reach your goals, will make your journey there feel not so lonely.
But the key is to give without expectation of taking, to be abundant, be authentic and focus on the person.

This video was created to communicate the values of Common Sense Events, Melbourne's up-and-coming networking organisation that brings together people who believe that building business relationships doesn't need to start with the "so, what do you do?" question.

This is a group where "you do feel supported. You do feel protected to be able to give, so you can recharge as a battery so you can give more. So, abundance is really what we need. I'd like everybody to come in and at least try. It might not be for you. And guess what? You might not be for us. It's about finding those people that can and do have common sense. Everybody always says they do, but not everybody does. "

Promo video for developers? Why not?

The life of a project manager at a development site is different to ours.

They wake really early, and like firefighters, they wear protective gear and spend a lot of time outside putting out fires, they also are dealing with unforeseen complications at every corner. And with what's at stake they need reliable partners.

That's where our clients step in, making sure that their service and quality products make a difference.

This video is basically about that.

Oh, and it was filmed and produced remotely. The director is based in Melbourne and Darcy, our lovely subject was on site in Queensland :)

Ask how we made it happen.

TEDxMelbourne at Marriott Docklands Brunch- Event Highlight Video

As proud media partners of TEDxMelbourne we were honoured to be invited to document a lovely event organised at the newly opened Marriott Docklands.

We wanted to capture the atmosphere of the day, with the focus on attendees, their experience, interactions with the hosts, and highlight the amazing spaces and service Marriott provided.

Finding the right professional is not easy, especially when it comes to make sure that you align on many levels, from values through work ethics to style. It is even more important when the person's work will be affecting your life for years- you want to make sure it's the right match.

So how do you make sure you've chosen the right interior designer?

You do your research, see their previous work and ask for recommendations but seeing the person in action, hearing why they do what they do, how they approach their work, the pride they take in their creations is best done via a well-produced video.
Here is an example of a Video Business Card we filmed for Mel from Soulshapes Lifestyle Interiors in Melbourne. We focused on showing her at her home, working and interacting with a client. It was crucial to help her express her philosophy to make sure she attracts the right type of client.

And this video will work for her for years to come, day and night...

What happens when people who can write work with people who can tell?

Well, you get to see the writers say: "they kiss a lot of frogs before they come to us"

To be honest, when I first met Vikki from (@)Refresh Marketing I was intimidated by her sharp intellect and deep knowledge of marketing through communication. But very soon found out that she's a laugh and a half to work with and we ended up complementing each other's skills to a great result.

What we managed to create together is spectacular and this video is a part of what we worked on together.

I love it when the founders get so engaged in telling their story and are supported by such a fantastic team, they all over-delivered on every level and completely understand why their clients stick with them forever.
