BREAKERS CONFERENCE 20TH ANNIVERSARY

Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley hosted its annual hedge fund brokerage conference in Miami, Florida in January 2018. To help celebrate the 20th anniversary of this highly-regarded conference, the company asked Gillet Creative to produce a cinematic video to highlight the evolution of the conference, hedge fund industry, and U.S. culture as a whole over the past twenty years.

To address the challenge of combining both national and event-specific content into one cohesive story, we started the video with an energetic graphic timeline highlighting key cultural and industry events between 1999-2018. Animated infographics highlighted how the finance industry has changed over time before moving into Q&A commentary from seven event founders and high profile hedge fund attendees. The full video illustrates that while a lot has happened over the past twenty years, Morgan Stanley and its clients have been through it all together.

This video was played for 600 prime hedge fund broker attendees during the welcome ceremony at the start of the event.
