Corporate Documentary
Reckitt: Celebrating 44 Years of Reckitt’s Legacy in Nigeria
Great corporate documentaries don’t simply document history, they strengthen brand identity and build trust.
Overview
Reckitt Nigeria engaged SPS Media to produce a flagship documentary celebrating the 44th anniversary of its Agbara manufacturing facility, one of the company’s most significant milestones in Nigeria.
The documentary needed to do more than commemorate an anniversary. It had to capture four decades of innovation, manufacturing excellence, public health impact, and community development while positioning Reckitt’s Agbara factory as a cornerstone of Nigeria’s hygiene and healthcare industry.
SPS Media was tasked with creating a compelling documentary that honoured Reckitt’s history while reinforcing its vision for the future.
The Challenge
The project came with an ambitious timeline and limited historical assets. Reckitt wanted a documentary that reflected the significance of its 44-year journey in Nigeria, but there were only three weeks to research, film, edit, and deliver the final production ahead of the anniversary event. In addition, there was very little archival footage available to tell a story spanning more than four decades.
The challenge was clear: create an emotionally engaging, authentic documentary that felt rich in history without relying heavily on historical footage.
Discovery & Story Development
We began with an intensive discovery session with the Reckitt team to uncover the factory’s defining milestones, cultural impact, and long-term vision. Together, we identified the voices that would best tell the story, from senior leadership and long-serving employees to staff and supply chain partners whose experiences reflected the company’s evolution over four decades.
Our Approach
SPS Media led the project from creative strategy through production and post-production, developing a documentary built around people, purpose, and legacy rather than a simple chronological timeline.
Production
With a clear story framework in place, our team coordinated filming across multiple locations within their Lagos HQ office and the Agbara factory in Ogun state.
We captured executive interviews, employee stories, manufacturing operations, and cinematic visuals that showcased the scale of the facility and its contribution to Nigeria’s healthcare and hygiene sector. Careful planning and scheduling allowed us to complete production efficiently despite the compressed timeline.
Post-Production
In post-production, we blended newly captured footage with the available assets, motion graphics, narration, colour grading, and sound design to create a documentary that felt both timeless and contemporary.
Every creative decision was guided by one goal: tell a story that celebrated Reckitt’s past while communicating its continued commitment to innovation, sustainability, and healthier communities across Nigeria.
From strategy and scripting to filming and post-production, we manage the entire documentary production process from start to finish.
The Result
The documentary premiered during Reckitt Nigeria’s 44th Anniversary celebration, serving as the centrepiece of the event and bringing together the company’s history, people, and purpose in a single story.
Beyond the event itself, the film became a long-term brand storytelling asset that Reckitt continues to use in its corporate communications.
