Raindrops fall, a car passes, children burst out in spontaneous laughter as they walk home from school... These are but a few moments of life, enhanced and enriched by something most of us take for granted which is our ability to hear.
Starkey Hearing Technologies "Hear Better. Live Better." tagline sums up their work to improve the quality of people's lives through better hearing. We’ve been working alongside their creative team to highlight the company's latest innovations, as well as capture personal stories of those using their hearing aid technology through several short film projects.
The first video, produced in Los Angeles for it’s range of locations and talent profiles Starkey's partnership with Apple and their Made for iPhone hearing aids. With these hearing aids, Starkey's TruLink app, and your iPhone, you are able to stream phone calls, listen to music hands free all while working to correct hearing loss and allowing you to hear comfortably and clearly in almost any environment.
The second and third videos are first-hand testimonial stories of how people's lives have been impacted and now benefit from Starkey's Hearing aids.
In the world of advertising, it's not everyday you leave a shoot being a sincere champion of the brand you have been hired to work for. Starkey is one of those companies that is truly changing lives for the better. The people and stories we spent time around left us all feeling inspired for those we met as well as the visual stories we all had a hand in creating.
