As we bid au revoir to the extraordinary year that was 2023, Bonjorfilm stands at the crossroads of reflection and excitement. The past twelve months have been a whirlwind of creativity, collaboration, and growth for us. We've also faced new challenges in this ever-changing industry, taking our team across borders to capture diverse landscapes, stories, and brands in places like France, Lisbon, and London.
We're humbled to have worked with both returning and new clients this year, experiencing a remarkable 50% increase in projects compared to 2022.
New Clients: We had the honour of collaborating with distinguished brands such as PUB G, Heirlooms, Design Unlimited, Minerva Global, SC Law, and the Ford Training Academy. These experiences have not only expanded our portfolio but also enriched our understanding of diverse industries.
Resolution 1: continue exploring new horizons, working with new people and businesses to bring captivating stories to life from any corner of the globe.
Loyal Partnerships: Collaboration has been at the heart of Bonjorfilm's success in 2023. We've had the privilege of working alongside agencies like RCM, Burnt Cake Media, and Sonder, as well as industry professionals who've added their unique touch to our projects.
Resolution 2: Continue to nurture our current collaborations, forging even stronger partnerships that push the boundaries of creativity and innovation.
Bon Amour Weddings: The birth of Bon Amour Weddings, our sister company dedicated to capturing the magic of love stories, marked a significant milestone in 2023. Eight weddings, numerous styled shoots, and participation in bridal fayres have set the stage for a new venture. In 2024, we are excited to continue capturing for our couples on their magical days, creating timeless memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. Eternalising these memories has allowed us to truly see the impact of our work, and knowing that generations to come will witness our creations puts a huge smile on our faces.
Monthly Social Film Packages: Our monthly collaborations with clients like Kwackers and The Mansion at Coldeast have not only boosted their social media presence but also reinforced the power of visual storytelling in the digital age.
The best testimonial we received this year came in the form of a text message which simply read:
"Ok... not sure what to think if I am honest. But trust your experience and judgement." - Himat Bahker (Kwackers)
The video went on to become their most shared and popular Instagram video, racking up over 30,000 views.
In 2024, we aspire to amplify our impact, helping more businesses and individuals thrive in the digital realm through engaging and optimised monthly video content.
Continuous Learning and Innovation: "Everyday is a school day".
Resolution 3: Embrace a culture of continuous learning and innovation. By staying at the forefront of technological advancements and storytelling techniques, we aim to consistently raise the bar of our films. Utilizing features like AI and outsourcing for different expertise will help enhance the overall experience for our customers.
Join us as we embark on another year of cinematic creativity, forging moments that transcend time and resonate with the hearts of our audience. Here's to a spectacular 2024 with Bonjorfilm!
