This was not a commercial spot. It was a documentary assignment for Novamex built around the story of Jarritos, its production environments, and the people who had been there from the start.
The final piece cannot be shown publicly because of confidentiality. That changes how the case has to be told. Instead of leading with finished frames, this page leads with what made the film possible: a small team leaving from Juarez, moving across three cities, working through impressive production environments, and building a documentary language around process, legacy, and scale.
That is precisely why the behind-the-scenes material matters. The value of the work sits in the access, the logistics, the interviews, and the editorial judgment required to connect artisanal roots with modern industrial output without flattening either one.
Make the production process feel human,
without losing the scale of the operation.
Jarritos carries emotional weight as a brand, but the documentary could not rely on nostalgia alone. The assignment had to show how the product comes to life across multiple environments, how the operation works at industrial scale, and how long-tenured people inside the system give that scale a human story.
The creative problem was balance. If the film leaned too far toward machinery, it would feel cold. If it leaned too far toward heritage, it would underrepresent the sophistication of the operation. NDA had to hold both truths at once.
Travel light.
Capture the process, then find the story inside it.
NDA built the production around mobility and observation. A lean crew moved across the route, captured interviews and floor coverage, and documented the environments needed to explain the Jarritos operation from multiple angles.
Because the piece was documentary-led, the team had to stay alert to more than beauty shots. Production lines, conversations, travel moments, and the lived experience of the people involved all had to contribute to a story arc that could stand in front of executives, investors, and families during the annual Novamex event.
This is the kind of engagement that clarifies the difference between ordinary video production and strategic content production. The deliverable was not just a record of activity. It was a narrative instrument built to increase appreciation for the brand, the work behind it, and the systems that sustain it.
Since the final documentary is confidential,
the BTS becomes the public proof layer.
-
This frame tells the production story more clearly: field direction, interview capture, and a documentary crew working inside a live industrial environment. -
The monitor view shows the kind of control the project needed: shaping a human story inside an industrial setting without losing visual discipline. -
The BTS floor images help explain the real challenge: move through live production environments while preserving enough calm and precision to tell a brand story. -
Interviews were central to the film because the strongest version of the story came from people who had lived the growth of the brand firsthand. -
The route itself became part of the story. Travel, fatigue, and adaptation were not side notes. They were part of how the final documentary was earned.
Slide 1 of 5
A documentary that helped stakeholders see
the value behind every bottle.
The immediate impact came from how the documentary helped annual-event attendees understand the work behind the brand more clearly. Executives, investors, and family members could see the production journey, the people carrying it, and the sophistication behind what might otherwise be taken for granted.
That is valuable for ranking and outbound interest as well. Even without publicly releasing the final cut, the case demonstrates NDA's ability to tell industrial and brand stories through documentary production, strong access, and disciplined behind-the-scenes capture.
What this engagement reveals
about Growth.
Growth can build documentary work around brands that need more than polished ad language. This case shows field logistics, interview capture, industrial storytelling, and editorial shaping working together under confidentiality.
For clients with complex operations, that matters. The hardest stories are often the ones where the value is real but not visually obvious until someone structures the narrative correctly.
