How does a longshore insurance provider prove it stands with its people?

Creative Idea: Cinematic Authenticity.

AEU isn’t your typical insurance provider — it was born from the longshore industry. Just as comfortable on the docks as in the boardroom, AEU brings a rare dual perspective that merges operational expertise with modern risk management. Our challenge was to capture that balance in a way that felt cinematic, not corporate. Through bold strategy, storytelling, and design, we created a brand film that embodies AEU’s credibility, culture, and connection to the people it serves. From concept and script to shoot day, every frame reflects what makes AEU real and remarkable.

Behind the scenes

The making of the film became a reflection of AEU’s culture — collaborative, driven, and deeply human. Every scene reinforces the brand’s story: built on experience, grounded in trust, and always standing with its people.

Results:

The brand video continues to resonate with AEU’s teams, clients, and partners. It’s become a powerful asset for sales conversations and recruiting, reinforcing AEU’s reputation as a trusted, industry-born partner — one that leads with authenticity and stands apart through storytelling.
