ABOUT

Savills is a global real estate advisory firm offering a broad range of property services across commercial, residential and consultancy markets. Their graduate recruitment programme plays a critical role in developing future talent and sustaining long-term expertise across the business.

THE BRIEF
We were briefed to create a series of films that could clearly showcase career pathways within the programme, helping potential applicants understand the breadth of opportunities available and what life at Savills looks like beyond job titles.

The challenge was to move past polished recruitment messaging and create content that felt credible, informative and human to graduates making long-term career decisions.

OUR APPROACH
We proposed a people-led creative treatment built around self-authored stories, allowing graduates to speak in their own words about their roles, development and progression within Savills. The series profiles individuals working across Commercial, Planning and Development, and Building Surveying, reflecting the diversity of routes available through the programme.

Filming took place at recognisable locations across London and the South East, grounding each story in the environments where graduates work day to day.

Alongside video production, we also captured photography for use across the Savills website and recruitment materials, ensuring visual consistency across channels.

Our approach focused on clarity and authenticity, helping prospective candidates see where they might fit, rather than selling an idealised version of the experience.

THE OUTCOME
The resulting 16-film series provides Savills with a flexible recruitment asset that supports both digital and in-person engagement. The films are distributed on YouTube and used at graduate recruitment fairs across the UK, helping to raise awareness of the programme and support informed applications.

By centring real voices and lived experience, the content strengthens trust with prospective graduates and reinforces Savills’ commitment to long-term development, not just recruitment.

"The team are highly professional to work with. They paid meticulous attention to the brief we gave them, ensuring we felt confident that the product would be exactly what we wanted.

We were absolutely thrilled with the fast turnaround, high quality product. The final result far surpassed our expectations, in terms of content and finish, due to Digitom’s creative insight and technical ability." Ema Saunders, People Development Director, Savills
