1) Chirp Wheel
A happy back? Yes please! This Chirp Wheel advertisement offers an excellent example of the beloved ‘less is more’ ideology. Bubble wrap is the star of the show, allowing viewers to see the level of pressure supplied by each roller as demonstrated in the video.
This simple test is organic, genuine, and lets viewers see the benefits of their product in real-time. The results are quickly revealed to avoid any loss of attention and the video wraps up its message in under two minutes.
In a world encompassed by editing and correction, sometimes a little simplicity is all that is needed.
2) Peak Design
Even through the anonymity of a screen, a successful advertisement creates trust between the buyer and the product.
In this video, Peak Design combines authenticity and digitalization to showcase their product to viewers. Pairing personal experience with a high-resolution display of the product is, as some would say, a match made in advertisement heaven.
Buyers want to feel like they know the commodity being sold. This relationship can be formed by showcasing the ins and out’s of the products’ existence. In other words, the advertisement may reveal the manufacturing and material components, as well as the efficiency of the product in real-life scenarios.
Peak Design effectively channels this method in marketing their Travel Tripod, while simultaneously establishing the buyer’s trust for other products.

6) Redbaby
Redsbaby relies on visual components while marketing this product. Instead of using a voice-over or narration, the ad utilizes written text to describe each component of the product, allowing for playback without audio.
The viewer gets to see the product in a real-life scenario, while also learning about the details and possible functions. The video is a little long, ending around the two-minute mark.
While it is important to get as much information to your audience as possible, we recommend limiting your videos to avoid any loss of engagement.
It is also crucial to let viewers know how and where to purchase your product through an end slate with call-to-action (CTA); another way to ensure optimal sales.
