Global Hardware Brand & Documentary Campaign

Topcon repositioned itself from hardware vendor to visionary infrastructure partner through a global documentary campaign. By capturing stories from leaders at Intel, SAP, and major construction firms, the campaign framed Topcon at the center of innovation and infrastructure. Filming across the U.S. and Europe, paired with awareness marketing, generated measurable engagement and created lasting narrative assets that fueled sales, marketing, and industry credibility.

Problem

Topcon needed to move beyond its reputation as an equipment provider and establish itself as a technology leader in global infrastructure conversations.

  • Infrastructure and construction audiences saw Topcon only as a hardware vendor
  • Few brand storytelling assets existed to speak to global trends or technology adoption
  • Needed narrative content to engage stakeholders, media, and prospects

Actions

  • Defined core narrative around infrastructure challenges and tech innovation
  • Recruited global thought leaders from Intel, SAP, Belford Beaty, and Civil Engineering Society
  • Managed logistics and travel planning for U.S. and European shoots
  • Oversaw script development, discussion guides, and documentary structure
  • Directed awareness campaigns post-launch to drive traffic and engagement
