Inspiring film stories for TÜV SÜD reporting

Date

26/06/2025

Annual reports don't just have to present hard facts. They can touch, surprise and engage people - thanks to the use of moving images. The technical service provider TÜV SÜD recognised this early on. Together with our film and animation studio, we have produced more than 30 films over the past few years, which have simultaneously brought about a change: from a mere supplement to the annual report to the centrepiece of the image section: with strategic storytelling, high conceptual standards and international production methods.

From pure presentation to exciting storytelling

We have been supporting TÜV SÜD in the realisation of annual and sustainability reports for several years. What began as a supplementary format has now become the emotional centrepiece of the reports: films that show attitude, make people visible and tell future topics in a vivid way.

A lot has changed in communication in recent years in particular. The reception habits of target groups are changing - away from text and towards strong, visual content. This is exactly where we come in: For us, film is not an add-on, but a central communication format.

Excellent cooperation

With the 2023 annual report, we have designed a new annual report motto for TÜV SÜD: FORWARD. It forms the strategic framework with which we emphasise the company's future orientation. The four films for 2023 showed how digitalisation and human expertise are shaping the future together - for example through AI-supported testing processes, drone inspections and hydrogen technologies.

Our cameras were on the move in Singapore and Germany. The result is authentic portraits of real employees who share a passion for technology and responsibility. A commitment that was honoured: The project was awarded gold at the Fox Finance Award - primarily due to the outstanding cinematic realisation. The films for the 2024 report follow on seamlessly from this: Be it the research project for autonomously driving lorries or the advanced inspection concept for large industrial plants in Belgium.

Small, flexible, international - our setup for big things

Our film specialists work with both national and international production teams. They are set up the way modern communication should be: small, fast, flexible - and ready to shoot on another continent at short notice. What characterises us is the combination of spontaneity and planning reliability. We know when improvisation is required - and when every detail has to be right.

All productions are lean, efficient and of high quality. Whether image film, animated explanatory film or reportage: we find the right format for corporate messages - and realise them visually with a clear line and a high degree of creative confidence.

Reporting that arouses emotions

What we are particularly pleased about is that our collaboration with TÜV SÜD has developed into a genuine partnership over the years. The more than 30 films that have been produced in recent years are each a piece of brand communication that contributes to the company by portraying people, values and attitudes.
