In the world of digital marketing, attention is the currency. With platforms like Instagram and Twitter driving engagement, snack brands are looking for innovative ways to tell their story in just 15 seconds. At xCephasx Studios, we specialize in creating award-winning short-form content that captivates audiences, drives brand loyalty, and—most importantly—stops the scroll.
Our latest project for Seven Sundays is a perfect example of how storytelling, lifestyle integration, and cutting-edge visuals can transform a brand’s narrative into an unforgettable experience. Here’s why your snack brand should consider a 15-second ad—and how xCephasx Studios can help bring it to life.
The Seven Sundays Ad: A Masterclass in Storytelling
Snack brands often have rich histories and values, but translating those into short, compelling content takes strategy and creativity. For Seven Sundays, we tapped into their journey, values, and impact to craft a 15-second ad that celebrates their mission and captivates their audience.
1. Hooking the Audience (Seconds 1-3)
In an age of endless scrolling, the first three seconds are everything. For Seven Sundays, we opened with breathtaking visuals of a couple enjoying breakfast amidst the serene landscapes of New Zealand—the birthplace of their muesli journey.
Takeaway for Snack Brands:Your hook should instantly connect with your audience’s aspirations. Whether it’s adventure, nostalgia, or comfort, the right visuals and narrative can create an emotional bond in seconds.
2. Showcasing the Lifestyle (Seconds 4-10)
Instead of focusing on the product, we showcased the lifestyle and values of the brand: sustainability, real food, and connection. Scenes of regenerative farms, bustling farmers' markets, and wholesome family moments created a vivid tapestry of Seven Sundays’ ethos.
Takeaway for Snack Brands:Modern consumers don’t just buy products—they buy into values. Highlighting your brand’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, or community can resonate deeply with your audience.
3. The Subtle Brand Tie-In (Seconds 11-15)
The final moments of the ad subtly tied the product to the story. A cozy breakfast scene with a Seven Sundays pouch in the background and a closing tagline—"Fuel your day with a Sunday state of mind"—ensured the brand was present without being overbearing.
Takeaway for Snack Brands:Audiences don’t want to feel “sold to.” Subtlety is key. A soft, intentional brand presence within a broader story can create lasting impressions.
Why Short-Form Ads Work for Snack Brands
The snack industry is highly competitive, and consumers often make quick decisions based on what catches their eye. Here’s why snack brands are increasingly turning to 15-second ads:
1. Capturing Mobile Audiences
With 70% of internet traffic now on mobile devices, snack brands need mobile-first content that is quick, engaging, and visually striking.
2. Building Emotional Connections
Snack purchases are often tied to emotions—comfort, nostalgia, joy. Short ads that tell a story can create these connections in seconds.
3. Driving Action
A well-crafted 15-second ad doesn’t just entertain; it inspires action. Whether it’s visiting your website, following your brand, or purchasing your product, the right ad can drive measurable results.
