STG Utleie AS is a scaffolding company in the greater Oslo region. In one production day on live construction sites, Thought Dealers filmed and delivered 19 video assets: 1 flagship showreel, 4 vertical service clips and 14 ad variants with contact overlays. This case study shows how the system works, what was delivered and why it keeps selling for months without a new shoot.

The client
STG Utleie AS rents, sells and assembles scaffolding for construction projects across the greater Oslo area: facade scaffolding (fasadestillas), rolling towers (rullestillas) and temporary weather protection roofing (tak over tak). Assembly, rental and sales, all under one roof.
The challenge: standing out in a commodity B2B market
Scaffolding is a service built on trust that most buyers still treat as a commodity. Prospects rarely see the difference between suppliers until something goes wrong on site. STG needed video content that would:
- Prove scale and competence. Show they operate on serious jobs, safely, at height.
- Explain a broad offer clearly. Rental, sales, assembly and full building encapsulation are different conversations for different buyers.
- Feed marketing continuously. Social posts and ads that keep running for months without a new shoot every week.
And it had to be done on a genuinely hard subject to film: tall structures, active construction sites and strict safety rules.
Our approach: one production day, a structured video system
We did not shoot "a video." We shot a system.
A single, efficient production captured real STG projects across the region, deliberately filming the things that build trust in this trade:
- Aerial. Drone passes showing the true scale of encapsulated buildings and weather protection roofs.
- Action on site. Crane lifts, harnessed workers at height, full building wraps.
- Detail. Scaffold couplers and connections, the small proof points of quality.
- The team. The crew and branded gear that put a human face on the brand.
That single shoot was then edited into three layers that each do a different job in the funnel.
The deliverables: 19 assets from one shoot
1. The flagship showreel (16:9)
A brand film of about two minutes. The credibility centerpiece: cinematic, led by drone footage, project after project. Built for the website hero, Vimeo and sales conversations.
2. Four vertical service clips (9:16)
One message each, made to be understood in seconds, in feed, on mute:
3. Fourteen ad variants with contact overlays
The same clips repackaged with the STG contact bar (phone, email, Messenger) placed up front or as an end card, in two edit passes. The same footage runs as awareness content or as a direct response ad. No reshoot. This is the structure that turns one shoot into a marketing library.
Designed to work on mute. No voiceover required: the message is carried entirely by visuals and on screen text, exactly how people watch in feed.
By the numbers
1 flagship brand film · 4 service clips · 14 ready to run ad variants · 3 aspect ratios · 0 voiceover needed
Where the videos run
- Showreel: website hero, Vimeo, sales and tender pitches.
- Vertical clips: YouTube Shorts, Instagram and Facebook Reels.
- Ad variants: Meta and Google direct response campaigns.
- Evergreen: the whole set keeps working for months from a single production.
The outcome
- A complete, on brand content library produced from one shoot day.
- Every service line covered by its own dedicated clip: clarity for each buyer.
- Awareness and direct response ad cuts ready from the same footage.
- No new production needed for months of publishing and advertising.
Why the system works
- Clarity. One message per clip, understood in seconds, on mute.
- Structure. A flagship film for trust, verticals for reach, ad cuts for conversion.
- Growth. One production feeds every channel for months.
This is what the video package is built to do: not a clip, but a system that keeps working. See more of our work in the portfolio.
Frequently asked questions about B2B video production
How many videos can one production day deliver?
In this project one filming day produced 19 assets: 1 flagship showreel of about two minutes, 4 vertical service clips under 30 seconds and 14 ad variants with contact overlays. The exact number depends on how many service lines and locations you can cover in a day.
What is a video content system?
A video content system is one production planned so the footage can be edited into three layers: a flagship brand film for trust, short vertical clips for reach on Reels and Shorts, and ad cutdowns for direct response campaigns. One shoot then feeds every channel for months.
Does video marketing work for construction and industrial companies?
Yes. Construction and industrial services are built on trust and often look identical on paper, so video is the fastest way to prove scale, safety and competence. Drone shots of real projects and close ups of quality details do the selling before the first call.
How much does a video production day cost in Norway?
Budgets depend on locations, drone work and the number of edits you need. A structured production day is usually far cheaper than booking a separate small shoot for every campaign, because the same footage is reused across all channels. Request a free marketing audit and we will give you a concrete quote.
Do the videos work without sound?
Yes, every clip is designed to work on mute. The message is carried by visuals and on screen text, because most people watch social feeds with the sound off.
Which platforms should a contractor publish video on?
Start with your website hero, YouTube Shorts and Instagram and Facebook Reels for organic reach, then reuse the same clips as Meta and Google ads with your phone number on screen. That covers trust, reach and direct response with one library.
