The challenge

The brand’s previous creative looked like advertising, so it was skipped like advertising. They needed work that read as a recommendation from a person, not a campaign from a company.

The approach

Five scripts, each opening on a specific claim inside the first two seconds. Cast for credibility over polish, shot on phones deliberately, and cut with the pacing of the platform rather than of television.

The outcome

Delivered as a formatted pack — every asset already cropped for every placement, so nothing needed re-editing before it ran.
