Executive Message from Stein Kruse – Video Production by Content Supply for Carnival Corporation

As one of the most recognized names in the cruise industry, Carnival Corporation continually sets the standard for excellence in leadership communication and brand presence. When the company needed to deliver a high-level executive message from Stein Kruse, a long-time Carnival executive and global leader, they partnered with Content Supply to produce a professional, engaging video that reflected the values and voice of the brand.

The Objective

Carnival Corporation required a polished executive communication that could:

• Convey strategic updates and forward-looking insights to internal and external stakeholders
• Reflect Stein Kruse’s leadership style—clear, confident, and personable
• Maintain brand consistency while enhancing audience connection
• Be formatted for multi-platform distribution, from internal meetings to public channels

With these goals in mind, Content Supply was brought in to plan, film, and produce the full video experience from concept to final delivery.

The Approach

We began with a collaborative pre-production phase to align on messaging and visuals. Our approach focused on:

• Scripting and storyboarding the executive message for clarity and tone
• Selecting a visually appropriate and brand-aligned filming location
• Using lighting, sound, and camera techniques that create a clean, cinematic look and feel
• Providing direction on delivery to capture authenticity and professionalism from Mr. Kruse

Throughout the process, our team ensured that every visual and audio element enhanced—not distracted from—the clarity of the message.

The Production

The video shoot was conducted with a multi-camera setup, professional audio recording, and brand-specific framing. During filming, we ensured:

• Comfortable on-camera delivery with teleprompter support and pacing cues
• On-brand wardrobe, framing, and set elements to align with Carnival’s corporate aesthetic
• Smooth production flow with efficient crew coordination and executive time management

Our crew captured a range of footage to allow flexibility in editing, including alternative takes, cutaway shots, and backup sound.

Post-Production and Editing

Once production wrapped, our team handled post-production with attention to:

• Clean editing and pacing to keep the message concise and engaging
• Color correction and branded motion graphics to elevate the visual quality
• Captioning and accessibility enhancements for internal and global distribution
• Multiple format exports to support digital platforms, corporate intranet, presentations, and events

The final result was a refined, impactful executive video message that captured Stein Kruse’s leadership presence and Carnival’s commitment to communication excellence.

The Outcome

The executive message was met with positive feedback both internally and externally, serving as a cornerstone of Carnival Corporation’s leadership communications. The video:

• Reinforced executive credibility and trust among team members and stakeholders
• Provided a consistent, professional message during a critical time for the brand
• Elevated Carnival’s internal content standards through high-quality video production
• Supported broader corporate initiatives by being repurposable for meetings, conferences, and marketing use
