CASE STUDY: SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT FOR BERLIN MEMORIALS

Corporate film and social media clips for five Berlin memorial sites commemorating the Nazi era

Corporate Film Production Berlin: Modern Culture of Remembrance for the Standing Conference

How do you spark interest in the TikTok generation – 80 years after the end of the war – for the darkest chapter in German history? For the Standing Conference of National Socialist Memorial Sites in the Berlin Area, we developed a progressive media concept that demonstrates how contemporary corporate film production in Berlin can bridge the gap between deep respect and genuine engagement.

The Challenge: Translating History Visually for Young Audiences

Berlin is a living site of remembrance. Yet the classic documentary format – solemn voiceover, slow camera pans – barely reaches young people today. Our goal was a modern corporate film that not only introduces the five memorial sites (including the Holocaust Memorial and the House of the Wannsee Conference), but actively inspires audiences to engage with them more deeply.

Our Strategic Approach to the Corporate Film

In the concept phase, we made a deliberate decision to break with convention. To connect with the rhythms of social media consumption, we chose a dynamic visual language:

  • Specially composed soundscape: Instead of piano music, an electronic, atmospheric sound design.
  • Creative graphic animations: A bespoke illustration concept complements the live footage and makes complex content tangible.
  • Drone footage over Berlin: Striking aerial shots (e.g. above the Field of Stelae) create new, deeply moving perspectives.
  • Fast-paced editing: A montage optimised for the viewing habits of young audiences, without compromising the dignity of the sites.

Authentic Filming at Historic Sites in Berlin & Brandenburg

A corporate film is only as powerful as the atmosphere it captures. Our team filmed at all five locations – from the "geometry of total terror" at Sachsenhausen concentration camp to the Topography of Terror. Using the Sony FX6, we created images that preserve the specific atmosphere of each site.

This production underscores our expertise in corporate film production in Berlin: we know how to translate sensitive subjects into images that leave a lasting impression.

Alongside the 4-minute main film, we produced targeted social media clips. These allow the Standing Conference to share the messages of remembrance culture in a platform-appropriate way via Instagram and TikTok. The reputational gain for the institution is tangible: modernity meets social relevance.
