About Stulz

Stulz is a globally recognized brand in the field of thermal management, especially for data centres, telecom facilities, and mission-critical operations. Their portfolio includes precision air conditioning, chilled water systems, humidity control, modular data centre solutions, and advanced climate control technologies. They operate in more than 140 countries with multiple production and sales facilities worldwide.
Because of their global reach and highly technical offering, imagery and video must align with their brand identity—clean, precise, technical, and authoritative.

The Challenge

We were engaged with just seven days’ notice to cover Stulz’s stand at a major industry exhibition. The scope was ambitious: in a brief four-hour window, we needed to document:
  • Stand setup before the floor opened, capturing branding, product display, and signage
  • Networking and interactions between Stulz staff and visitors
  • Product demonstrations and equipment displays
  • Brief interviews (sound bites) with key team members, integrated into the highlight reel
Given the time constraints and minimal briefing, the risk was missing essential moments, or producing visuals that didn’t reflect Stulz’s technical and premium positioning.

Our Approach

  • Sent a lean, experienced dual team (one photographer, one videographer) to operate efficiently and with minimal disruption.
  • Conducted a rapid pre-event alignment with the Stulz marketing team to confirm key products, spokespersons, messaging priorities, and visual style.
  • Arrived early to capture the stand before crowd density—branding shots, staff setup, product arrangement.
  • Moved through phases quickly: pre-opening detail shots → live operation → interviews → close / wrap-up images.
  • Integrated short interviews with selected team members to add narrative context into the video.
  • Maintained creative flexibility and technical discipline: controlling exposure, managing lighting constraints, and capturing natural interactions.
  • Managed a tight post-production workflow to deliver final assets on schedule without sacrificing quality.

Execution Highlights

  • Crisp, high-impact shots of the stand before footfall, showing architecture and brand presence
  • Real-time capture of staff–visitor engagement, product explanations, and demo moments
  • Interviews blended seamlessly into the highlight reel, adding voice to the visuals
  • Tight coordination and direction even under short notice
  • Final assets that match Stulz’s brand standards: polished, technical, confident

The Results

  • Delivered a professional image library and a compelling highlight showreel (including interviews) within the client’s timeframe
  • The visual content reinforced Stulz’s position as a premium, technically-grounded global brand
  • The client was impressed and has continued to engage The Photo Team for subsequent exhibition and event coverage

“Despite the tight timeline and minimal briefing, The Photo Team captured exactly what we needed — clear, technical, and on brand.”
