OBJECTIVE

To spotlight a home-grown success story — celebrating Emmet Brennan’s Olympic qualification as a symbol of local strength and inspiring role models from the North East Inner City of Dublin.

Together Video was commissioned by NEIC to document the journey of a local boxing hero, showing how individual determination and community support intersect to build a brighter future.

  • Balance the personal story of Emmet Brennan with the larger narrative of community pride

  • Be suitable for both local viewing and broader public comms

  • Feel authentic, inspiring and rooted in place

OUR APPROACH

We produced a short-form documentary piece, blending raw training footage, community imagery and personal interview elements:

  • Shot with a cinematic tone — hand-held realism with controlled pacing

  • Layered with emotive score and sound design to support tone

  • Delivered for use across web, social media and outreach presentations

Tone: uplifting — designed to resonate with both local pride and national ambition.


OUTCOME

The video has been used to:

  • Inspire community youth through social media and local channels

  • Demonstrate the value of role models in regeneration efforts

  • Support the NEIC brand as a force for change and opportunity
