OVERVIEW

Summary

Connecting offices is done on a map. Revealing a team requires taking to the road.

For Tikehau Capital's Connect the Dots, we transformed a European cycling relay into an employer brand story. With PEP'S, we followed the effort, the unexpected events and the mutual support to show what makes the collective, beyond the institutional image.

The finding

Tikehau wanted to show more of its culture: the people, their commitment and their way of experiencing a challenge together. Connect the Dots provided this material, with teams passing the baton between the European offices.

Our subject lay between the official stages: what happens on the road, what everyone goes through, and what the participants want to say about it.

The stakes

Giving a face to the corporate culture.

The film had to speak to employees as well as to those discovering Tikehau, with a simple question in mind: who are the people behind the group? We chose to show their commitment in real-life situations, to feed internal communication and the employer brand with a story that belongs to them.

The angle

Fatigue, handovers, the unexpected: this is where the story of the collective is told.

We have built a documentary-style narrative around the participants. The images captured during the effort provide the intensity; the interviews allow us to understand what the experience means to them. Each stage brings a piece of the story, all the way to Mont Ventoux.

The device

On a European route, the continuity of the narrative is prepared in advance.

With PEP’S, we organised the coverage of key stages, coordinated the filming with local teams, and prepared the interviews. The participants' onboard footage extends the narrative on the sections that our team does not follow.

During editing, we bring these perspectives together, work on the transitions, and give anecdotes their place. Two versions, long and short, then make it possible to adapt the narrative's length to the communication uses planned with Tikehau.

The result

Two finalised versions, long and short, were delivered to Tikehau in July 2026. The relay becomes a story that the group can share beyond the participants: a communication asset centred on its teams and their shared experience.

PIC TOUCH

A car wash becomes a scene of life.

On the Toulouse–Madrid stage, some participants cool off under the jets to bear the heat. Their on-board footage gives us access to this moment.

This is the kind of material we are looking for: an unexpected detail, told and experienced by the teams, which makes the challenge tangible. Company culture finds its images on the road.

Let's give a face to your collective
