Project Overview

Princess Cruises, a leader in the global cruise industry, sought to humanize their brand by showcasing the personal journeys of their crew members. One such story was Michele’s—a long-time employee whose 20-year career began with an inspiring school trip to Barcelona. The video aimed to highlight the heart behind Princess Cruises’ exceptional service, offering audiences a glimpse into the lives of those who make the cruise line a trusted name worldwide.

Content Supply was tasked with creating a video that would emotionally resonate with viewers while maintaining the professional standards that align with Princess Cruises’ premium brand.

Challenges

Creating Michele’s story presented several unique challenges:

1. Personal Connection: Capturing the emotional depth of Michele’s personal and professional journey to inspire viewers.
2. Brand Representation: Ensuring the video reflected Princess Cruises’ high standards and commitment to excellence.
3. Narrative Clarity: Conveying Michele’s experiences clearly and cohesively in a concise format.

Solution

To overcome these challenges, Content Supply applied its expertise in People Stories Video Production—a storytelling-focused solution designed to celebrate the individuals behind the brand.
