See how they Storykit it

Preem is Sweden’s largest fuel company, leading the way in the development and production of renewable fuels. With a strong commitment to innovation and sustainability, Preem refines and markets a range of energy products for businesses and consumers, both locally and internationally. As a trailblazer in its industry, Preem continuously invests in solutions that reduce environmental impact while maintaining its position as a trusted energy provider.

The Challenge

Storykit videos have long been a key part of how Preem communicates. However, when Head of Media Relations Mattias Holmqvist also wanted to start using Storykit to promote their press releases, he was pleased to discover he didn’t even have to create the videos—they created themselves.

Within Preem, several teams were already using Storykit for various initiatives, including showcasing employer branding, recruiting, promoting events, sharing videos at large company gatherings, and highlighting innovative projects like electric charging stations. 

Inspired by its success, Mattias Holmqvist, Head of Media Relations at Preem, wanted to get in on the action and enhance how they communicated their press releases with video.

He explains: 

 —Video is crucial in all digital communication; it packages complex information into accessible content. It’s increasingly important for us to build engagement, and I wanted to ensure we have the best tools to accomplish that. 

What Mattias didn’t anticipate was just how effortless the process would be, all thanks to Storykit’s new Feeds feature.

The Solution

With Storykit Feeds, Preem's entire video creation process is automated.

Once a press release is published, videos are automatically generated and delivered straight to the team’s inboxes, accelerating video production and saving valuable time.

With this solution, Mattias doesn’t have to worry about meeting Preem’s strict branding standards or fitting video creation into his busy schedule—the platform takes care of everything for him.

—When we publish a press release on our PR platform, it also feeds into Storykit, which delivers ready-to-go video suggestions. We don’t have to struggle to come up with new video ideas – the platform gives us fresh perspectives, explains Mattias. 

Here’s how Storykit Feeds transforms Preem’s video production process:

  • Automation with creative control: The tool provides videos straight to teams’s inbox, allowing them to either publish them immediately or make minor tweaks as needed.
  • Brand consistency: Storykit integrates Preem’s graphic profile, chosen image and video libraries, and specific output formats, ensuring every video aligns perfectly with their branding.
  • Valuable time saved: What once took hours can now be completed in minutes, saving time while maintaining professional results.

—The videos align with our strict quality standards, and we can either use the videos as they are or make adjustments we need, Holmqvist adds.

The Results

Since adopting Storykit Feeds, Preem’s PR team saves significant time, freeing them to focus on strategic initiatives.

—Preem takes pride in breaking new ground, not only in renewable fuels but also in how we engage audiences. With Storykit, we can highlight our transition in ways that resonate across digital platforms, Holmqvist shares.

Looking ahead, Preem sees potential to expand the use of video into other areas of their communication strategy, further strengthening their ability to connect with audiences and share their story.
