JOHN HOLLAND
John Holland is a company that offers services from infrastructure and property development to rail and building, and has an ethos of being up for the challenge of transforming lives.
They wanted a content piece that showcased the way their work has indeed transformed lives, demonstrating that their projects represent far more than just bricks and mortar, and in the process promote their offering to prospects.
Based on a concept of “It’s what’s inside that counts”, I wrote the script for this content piece to help communicate the philosophy of John Holland.

John Holland Building script
VOICEOVER:
At John Holland, we’re up for the challenge of transforming lives. Every building we construct is far greater than the sum of its parts.
The aesthetics of a building are an important part of any project. When it comes to making a difference in people’s lives, we believe it’s what’s inside that counts.

John Holland has a long history in constructing Australia's iconic buildings.

An impressive structure fit for our nation’s highest office, it’s the life-changing decisions made inside Parliament House that will resonate for generations to come.

We’re a group that loves working closely with our customers and partners to come up with innovative solutions to difficult problems.

I get a real sense of satisfaction knowing the work I do has the power to transform lives.
VOICEOVER:
With a focus on the bigger picture, putting people at the heart of everything we do is a part of our DNA. In fact, it’s an attitude that dates back to our inception 70 years ago. Our very first project was a building project, a woolshed built in 1949. It's a heritage we’re proud of, and it continues to guide us in every new project we undertake.
SUPER: Mercedes-Benz Autohaus, Brisbane
SUPER: Gus Herber, Project Director, QLD/NT, Building
What’s exciting about this project is the huge part it’s playing in the revitalisation of the Breakfast Creek precinct.

The building looks incredible, but it’s actually about creating a unique automotive and retail experience.

SUPER: Connie King, Operations Manager, VIC/SA/TAS/NZ, Building
This is going to be the largest private hospital ever built in South Australia. More importantly we’re creating a unique environment that will make people feel reassured, safe and cared for and it’s hard to put a value on that.
SUPER: 180 Flinders Street
SUPER: Dave Lehmann, Executive General Manger, Building
Federation Square is already an iconic precinct in Melbourne and this project is going to be an amazing addition to the area.
SUPER: Kate Rawlinson, Senior Design Manger, Building
It's also going to be our new office in Melbourne and what I really love about it is that we’ve put people at the centre of the design process. I think it’s going to be a really inspiring place to work.
VOICEOVER:
Creating inspiring buildings is what drives us at John Holland, places and spaces that transform people’s lives, because at the heart of it all, we know that it’s what’s inside that counts.
