From print and digital to TV - it’s a single point of contact which speeds up turnaround, eliminates error and saves you money. Get in touch and see why we’re known as The Global Boutique.

In practice

Below are some examples of the projects that have been globally versioned here.

	Tropicana – Alive (30 second spot) : reversion, shoot (incl DP/Director), full post, delivered under £50,000 incl. talent buy-out	A great example – the brief from Tropicana was to reversion an existing US ad, shooting five extra shots (on Arri Alexa that had to match the existing ad) to incorporate the new multi-pack version of the drink. Sandstorm re-edited the existing film, produced the new shots both in studio and on location in Europe, recorded the voice over, mixed the sound, graded the ad and delivered (via Adstream) to stations. Why it really shows off Sandstorm? The entire turnaround was 3 weeks and came in on a limited budget!
	Betty Crocker – Whoopie Pies (10 second TV spot) : production only delivered under £10,000GBP	Part of our work on a number of General Mills brands has been to shoot 10 second ‘bumper ads’ to work alongside existing 20 second ads. Allowing their brands to sell more than one product in each 30 second TV media booking. A one day studio shoot, hand models cast and paid within the fee, set built and lit within the fee and delivered to an external postproduction house on the same day to include in the existing ad. Delivered within only a few weeks of commission – again to match footage from the existing campaign.
	GotoMyPC ‘Pigeon Squadron’ : animation creative, animation production, edit, VO record and master sound mix delivered under £25,000GBP – additional clocked DRTV versions £250 per spot	Citrix ‘GotoMyPC’ is a well established brand in the US with a highly successful TV campaign. It was given to Sandstorm over 5 years ago to version and repurpose for the UK and European markets. As part of our service we took the existing 30 second ad and coupled it to an additional 30 second animation (which we created in-house) that was more UK friendly. This was then used as a DRTV campaign to measure and understand the demand for the product. Since then we have re-versioned the campaign numerous times and re-packaged the animation and offer 3 times - over 300 individual DRTV clocked TV spots have gone to air.
