Holland America Line hired Video Supply to produce a series of people stories highlighting crew members, officers, and employees from around the world.This initiative aimed to humanize the brand by highlighting the unique experiences and dedication of its staff. This case study focuses on the story of Lisa Salmans, exploring her journey and the impact of the "People Stories" video production service.

The Challenge

Holland America Line sought to strengthen its brand image by showcasing the personal stories of its employees, fostering stronger connections with both customers and staff. The challenge was to produce high-quality, engaging video content that could be used for internal and external communications, recruitment, and brand promotion.

The Solution

Video Supply developed the "People Stories" video series, a storytelling-focused solution designed to capture and share the unique stories of Holland America Line's employees. The series utilized interviews, talking heads, and other footage to create compelling narratives that resonate with viewers.

Meet Lisa. This is her story.

Lisa Salmans, a dedicated crew member of Holland America Line, was featured in the series. The production involved:

  1. Interviews: Capturing Lisa's personal experiences, her journey, and her motivations.
  2. Talking Heads: Highlighting Lisa's role, responsibilities, and contributions to the company.
  3. Stock Footage: Incorporating high-quality visuals from various locations to complement Lisa's story.
  4. Editing: Ensuring a cohesive and engaging narrative that resonates with viewers.

Lisa's journey is particularly inspiring. Having worked for distinguished individuals such as President Reagan and Rolling Stone, she found herself unfulfilled. She sought a job that would bring her joy each day. Her love for travel, meeting people, and beverages led her to Holland America Line. Here, she discovered happiness in striving for excellence in service and seeing her crew members succeed.

The "People Stories" video series, featuring Lisa Salmans, successfully met Holland America Line's objectives. The video helped:

  1. Enhance Brand Image: By showcasing the human side of the brand, the video reinforced Holland America Line's commitment to its employees and customers.
  2. Strengthen Connections: The authentic storytelling approach fostered stronger relationships with customers and employees.
  3. Expand Reach: The video content was used across various platforms, including internal communications, company news stories, recruitment materials, and external brand promotions.

The collaboration between Holland America Line and Video Supply through the "People Stories" video series, featuring Lisa Salmans, exemplifies the power of storytelling in building brand identity and fostering connections. Lisa's journey from working for high-profile individuals to finding true happiness at Holland America Line highlights the company's commitment to its employees' well-being and professional growth. This case study demonstrates how high-quality video production and editing services can effectively communicate a brand's values and engage audiences on a deeper level.
