KYNDRYL
CEO Series 2026
The challenge
Kyndryl wanted to create a high-quality video series that could bring its executive conversations to life in a polished, engaging and repeatable format.
The challenge was not simply producing individual episodes, but establishing a consistent production approach that could support an ongoing series, while maintaining a premium visual standard across episodes, locations and distribution channels.
With each conversation featuring senior leaders and requiring professional production, editing, social cutdowns, localization and digital-ready assets, Kyndryl needed a production partner capable of managing the process end-to-end.
The solution
Somnio partnered with Kyndryl to produce the Kyndryl Conversations Series, providing full production and post-production support across Episodes 01, 02 and 03, with next Episodes already in calendar.
Somnio established a repeatable production model for the series, including:
Three-camera 4K multicamera production for a dynamic, premium interview experience
Full production crew, camera, lighting and professional audio packages
Teleprompter and supporting production equipment
Set design support, including sourcing furniture and props for the interview environment
Full post-production of each episode, up to 20 minutes
Up to six social media cutdowns per episode, with burned-in captions
Custom thumbnails for YouTube and social media
Final mastered assets prepared for digital distribution
Multilingual translations in German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Italian and Portuguese
Beyond individual episodes, Somnio created a consistent production language and workflow that could be carried forward across the series, allowing Kyndryl to build the format episode after episode.
Set Design
The results
The partnership has evolved into an ongoing production model, with Somnio having already delivered Episodes 01, 02 and 03 and continuing into the next Episodes.
The approach has enabled Kyndryl to:
Establish a consistent, premium visual identity across the Conversations Series
Create one long-form conversation that can be extended into multiple social-first pieces
Streamline the production process through a repeatable end-to-end workflow
Extend the reach of executive conversations through multilingual content
Build a scalable content engine that can continue across future episodes
Maintain continuity in the physical interview environment, with set furnishings stored on-site for future productions
From a single executive conversation to a full content ecosystem, Somnio helped Kyndryl establish a repeatable format designed to scale.
