MET Capabilities Book

STORIES WELL TOLD

EVERY BUSINESS HAS A STORY TO TELL. AND ONCE IT’S TOLD, A WHOLE NEW WORLD OPENS UP. The Metrick System is a collection of multi-disciplined individuals that help companies express their story through digital content, social platforms, web-based applications and experiential events.

THE METRICK SYSTEM A 5-STEP CREATIVE PROCESS TO TELL YOUR STORY

2. YOUR AUDIENCE

3. PLOT AND STRUCTURE

What motivates them, where do they live, how do they find you and what do they care about?

What should happen here? What would be the most satisfying outcome?

4. TELLING YOUR STORY

5. THE NEXT CHAPTER

Storytelling is one of the most effective tools to share ideas and where we go to make abstract concepts meaningful, inspire imagination and motivate action.

Building a world class brand is about taking your audience on a journey: what touchpoints will turn a prospect into a client and ultimately a friend of your brand, for life.

1. INTRODUCTION Where are you now; we fill this out with you in person or over the phone.

ASK YOURSELF,

“WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE IN 3 YEARS?” WE’LL WORK WITH YOU AND DO THE THINGS NECESSARY TO GET YOU THERE.

YOU’RE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR LAST PROJECT

THE EINSTEIN FOUNDATION

THE EINSTEIN FOUNDATION In 1955 Albert Einstein bequeathed his entire estate to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The Einstein Foundation represents the first ever global branding of the legendary scientist and humanitarian. We worked together with Hebrew University to celebrate his spirit for the betterment of mankind.

With the help of industrial designer Ron Arad, we told the story of the world’s first 3D book through a compelling online video.

YAMAHA MUSIC

YAMAHA MUSIC Yamaha had a mission. They wanted to move their brand beyond simply the manufacturers of fine musical instruments, and position themselves as the conduit by which we connect with music. We introduced a concept that did just that.

We launched a campaign aptly named Random Acts of Music with an emotional video about people re-connecting with their lost love of music.

Music Has The Power To Move Us Music can be surprising, touching, impromptu or well rehearsed. It can elicit feelings of love, friendship, camaraderie and fear. Music has the power to move us like no other medium.

A micro-site was created to share the video and to encourage people to post their own Random Acts of Music.

ELTE

Storytelling graphic walls describing the origins and artisanal process of each rug collection.

ELTE Unquestionably one of the country’s most prestigious luxury brands, the challenge for Elte is to continually evolve in an often fickle category. Here’s how we help them stay relevant as a leader in design and home décor.

To remain top-of-mind, billboards located in affluent downtown neighbourhoods led to high brand name recognition.

“THE METRICK SYSTEM RINGS IN AT #2 ON THE LIST OF WORLD’S COOLEST CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS.” - THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

THE WORLD ISN’T GETTING ANY SLOWER. HERE’S HOW WE KEEP A FEW STEPS AHEAD. Because we like to focus on the business of developing strategies, writing and designing effective communication, we built our own recording, editing and video production studio. It means our team can take an idea from paper to production in less time than it takes to walk 50 feet (the length of our workspace) and avoid the hassles of booking outside production suppliers.

WE LIKE TO STAY RELEVANT...

WE HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE. AND THE WORK TO PROVE IT.
