Extending Innovation Narratives

On-site Filming, Series Composition, Narrative Editing
Context
Seoul Innovation Center had been systematically incubating innovators from the idea stage to develop them into concrete business models. Now taking a step further, they were expanding the influence of grown innovators by deploying them to regions nationwide and providing continuous follow-up support for successful settlement in local communities. The goal was to showcase the new role and value of Seoul Innovation Center through this innovation ecosystem expansion process.
Challenge
It wasn't easy to connect companies and innovators of different natures who expanded to different regions - Gokseong in Jeolla Province, Goyang in Gyeonggi Province, and Seosan in Chungnam Province - with one consistent message. The main challenge was how to bundle the stories of innovators with different fields and backgrounds into a series. Additionally, a new approach was needed to deliver valuable content lightly, moving away from traditional stiff interview or documentary formats.
Solution
We developed a consistent delivery format to secure unity as a content series. Rather than focusing on individual stories of each innovator, we concentrated on the common theme of 'expansion from Seoul to regions' and established a tone and manner that could deliver deep content without being heavy. We completed storytelling that naturally highlighted Seoul Innovation Center's follow-up support system while preserving regional characteristics and innovators' individuality.
From the Team
“Boundary-Breaking Innovators was an interesting project showing how innovation spreads and takes root. Witnessing ideas that started in Seoul meet local communities across the nation to create new changes, we realized that the true value of innovation lies in expansion. Through the process of weaving together stories from different regions and fields into one, we too were able to develop new storytelling methodologies.”
