Cultural Pillars
THEM
Eight concept videos for TJX Companies, one of the world's largest department store companies, bringing their core cultural pillars to life through motion, 3D, and visual storytelling.
Visualize the values that define a global company.
Them needed eight concept videos that could make TJX's abstract cultural values feel tangible and inspiring, content that employees and leaders could connect with emotionally, not just intellectually. Each video had to stand alone while feeling part of a coherent series.
The brief demanded a delicate balance: make complex organizational philosophy feel personal and human, without reducing it to corporate platitudes. Every concept had to earn genuine emotional resonance with people who live these values every day.
Motion storytelling for each cultural pillar.
We handled the full creative process: conceptualization, design, and animation for all eight videos. Themes included Personal Character, Paradox is Reality, Inclusion, and Storytelling and Curiosity, each with its own visual approach while sharing a unified motion language.
Rather than illustrating the values literally, we developed visual metaphors for each pillar, motion systems that embody the principle they represent. Inclusion moves outward from a center point. Paradox holds two opposing forces in tension. Curiosity unfolds, reveals, then folds again.
Eight stories. One visual universe.
The series was designed to work across 16:9 and 1:1 formats, in sketch and final versions, giving TJX flexibility in how they deploy the content. The result is a library of brand films that brings TJX's culture to life across internal communications and beyond.
Producing eight videos in a unified system requires rigorous visual discipline, each piece has to feel distinct enough to stand alone while remaining unmistakably part of the same family. The motion language we developed achieves this through consistent timing, texture, and typographic behavior across all eight pillars.
Brand values made visible.
The THEM Cultural Pillars series gives TJX Companies a visual language for its culture, eight films that make abstract organizational values feel tangible, human, and worth sharing across internal and external communications alike.
