“Yeah, I think there’s a real art in telling the story in a realistic way, and that’s something that Real TV does extremely well and that’s why we work so closely with Real TV and have done for a long time now. And you see in the video clips. I mean, it’s close to the bone. This matters to people. You know, it’s their life in their hands. And so to be able to capture how somebody has become aware of their cancer, how their dealing with their treatments and management and then following them on their journey – I mean, it’s just tremendous. But you need to have empathy. There’s plenty of video clips out there that just don’t show the empathy. They don’t have the common touch, and that’s gotta be portrayed, it’s gotta be realistic, it’s gotta be real life, and that’s why we use Real TV.” – David Darling, Former CEO Pacific Edge

“We engaged Real TV to help us with a shout out to our teams around the country that have made you know, significant sacrifices through the covid period. A shout out to say ‘thank you’ but also a shout out to show them what their efforts meant to our customers. So we played the video as part of the opening sequence of our sales roadshow and, it was just such an emotional way to start what was a really important couple of days for us. It’s all well and fine that you get some guys from head office round a roadshow saying, ‘thank you,’ that’s all cool but we really wanted them to totally appreciate and understand what our customers thought of the efforts that they’d gone to over that period of time. At the end of every video there was a huge round of applause, from everybody and you could just feel the energy in the room. Just incredibly emotional to be honest with ya.” At the end of every video there was a huge round of applause, from everybody and you could just feel the energy in the room.” – Scott Hedgman, GM Sales Freightways

“We had an opportunity to put together an intro video for the Business Awards in Auckland here. We were making an award on behalf of Hi-Tech to this particular recipient. And our video clip was showing on this banner around the walls, and this banner encircled the entire room. And we’d been watching throughout the evening, a number of companies with banners, but ours just blew the place over, so it was just phenomenal to get a high-quality product like that. It really sets your company up when people, you know, they think about your company and the way the company performs relative to what they saw in the clip.” – David Darling, Former CEO Pacific Edge 

“I was very worried about not scripting and not having something staged. This is again the testament to Real TV understanding first and foremost what were we trying to achieve. So even in those customer stories with the questions that Reuben might have asked he was then able to draw the right stories and emphasise the right points, good or bad. Focused very much on the end outcome. And I think that’s a real art.” – Neha Bhardwaj, People Experience Consultant

“The latest opportunity that we’ve defined is to do a documentary with urologists who have now been using CX Bladder tests in their practice mainstream. So, New Zealand urologists led the world, and there’s a large number of urologists in the United States who are embarking on the use of CX Bladder, and they would like to understand from people that are currently using it, how it’s impacted, how do people see this, you know. And the guys in New Zealand have been doing this for three years, so to be able to take that learning and feed that back to the people who are about to start gets rid of all this pre-purchase dissonance that you might find in the marketplace. It’s gotta be realistic. It’s gotta be real life, and that’s why we use Real TV.” – David Darling, Former CEO Pacific Edge

“I want to say in New Zealand I think we have a storytelling crisis! I really believe that we need to be prouder in the corporate world. In fact, everywhere about the incredible stories of being kiwis, of being in business about the difference that we make to people that we work with, about the difference we make to each other and to our customers. We need to do better as Kiwis to celebrate that you know. So, I think…in fact I challenge every corporate to put aside money to tell stories better.” – Sasha Lockley, Executive

“People should use Real TV because the owners of Real TV are fun. The crew are very good and of course the student discount – $10 an hour. I mean, you can’t beat it.” – David Darling, Former CEO Pacific Edge
