Marketing Tools for RIGTOOLS
Link Copied!
When RIGTOOLS approached us, they had a clear challenge: they wanted a consistent, engaging way to showcase the real-world benefits of their most popular tools — not just what they do, but why they matter on a busy rig.
The solution was a focused animation-led campaign built around clarity, consistency, and a plan we could stick to.
The Approach
Rather than treating each tool as a standalone project, we designed a structured approach from day one. The goal was to create a suite of short, high-impact animations that felt cohesive, recognisable, and easy to deploy across multiple marketing channels.
We agreed on a simple but effective format:
- Each animation would run at approximately 1.5 minutes
- Every film would begin by showing the “old way” of working — highlighting common pain points, inefficiencies, and risks
- The animation would then transition to the RIGTOOLS solution, clearly demonstrating improvements in time savings, safety, and operational efficiency
- All animations would be produced in full 3D, allowing us to show environments, processes, and tool interactions that are often difficult or impossible to capture on film
This structure gave the project a strong backbone and ensured every animation delivered a consistent message, regardless of the tool being featured.
The Tools
Using this approach, we created five full 3D animations covering:
- FOSV Handling Tool
- RIGTOOLS Clamp
- Speedy Cleaner
- Flowline Magnets
- Pitbull Torque Tool
While each tool addressed a different operational challenge, the shared storytelling framework ensured the audience always knew what to expect — and what problem was being solved.
Planning (and Sticking to It)
A key success factor was the upfront planning. Storyboards, visual style, camera language, and animation pacing were all agreed early, allowing production to run smoothly and efficiently across all five animations.
This wasn’t a case of reinventing the wheel each time. By sticking to the plan, we maintained momentum, avoided scope creep, and delivered a consistent, high-quality output across the entire series.
The Result
The feedback from RIGTOOLS was overwhelmingly positive. The animations clearly communicated value, were easy to understand, and — most importantly — resonated with their target audience.
RIGTOOLS now has a powerful set of marketing assets that can be used across:
- Sales presentations
- Exhibitions and trade shows
- Social media and digital campaigns
- Website product pages
Each animation stands on its own, but together they form a cohesive visual toolkit that supports RIGTOOLS’ most popular products and reinforces their commitment to safer, faster, and more efficient operations.
The Bigger Picture
This project is a great example of how a clear plan, a strong creative framework, and disciplined execution can deliver long-term value. By focusing on approach as much as output, we helped RIGTOOLS build marketing tools that will continue working for them well beyond launch.
