Case Overview – Returning Client & Campaign Scope
We had already worked with The Production Factory before, so when they approached us again in 2024 with a new project, we were excited to jump into planning. This time, we collaborated on the photo and video production of the 2024 autumn-winter campaign for George, one of the UK’s largest clothing retailers, shot on location in Budapest.

Production Logistics – Working with Child and Baby Talent
The project covered the full range of the AW collection, so in addition to adult models, we also worked with children — and even babies — during the shoot. Since all talent was flown in from London, creating a comfortable and secure environment was a top priority to ensure that even the youngest models could feel at ease and move freely despite being in an unfamiliar setting.
Service Differentiation – Area-Based Urban Location Planning
One of Budapest’s greatest strengths is the exceptional diversity of street backdrops it offers — something that played a key role in this shoot as well. Our in-house location department and ever-expanding internal database don’t just help us identify suitable spots for shoots — there’s much more to it than that. Every area we propose has been thoroughly scouted, documented, and strategically planned from both a production and logistical perspective to ensure that each base offers the widest possible range of locations, while aligning perfectly with the creative concept.
Location Case Study – Iconic Avenue as Urban Backdrop
One such area in this project was centered around Budapest’s most iconic avenue, Andrássy Boulevard. This grand, 19th-century avenue is lined with neo-Renaissance buildings, and beneath it runs the second-oldest metro line in Europe — with its ornate entrances fitting seamlessly into the campaign’s visual identity. The core concept was an elegant, neutral-toned urban setting, occasionally broken by bold pops of color matching the autumn collection — such as the metro entrances’ decorative, yellow-painted railings.

Campaign Context – Retail, Webshop & Social Rollout
The photos and videos were primarily featured in George’s retail stores and on the brand’s webshop, and remained in use throughout the autumn-winter season. The campaign also appeared across George’s social media channels — with those materials produced during the shoot as well, as is now standard practice in nearly every production.
Client Relationship – Long-Term Production Partnerships
Working with new clients or exploring new types of projects is always exciting — but long-term collaboration with returning partners is just as important to us. Alongside Production Factory, a great example of this is the American show The Bachelor, where Warner Brothers chose Progressive as their production partner for two episodes — first in Austria, then the following year in Hungary.
