Transcript

This is content that every brand should test in 2025. The first is using your archives, going back into previous years in campaigns and telling the brand tier over time. The second is reality, taking a reality show format and documenting the hardest challenges that your brand has had over time and how you solve them. Because people love following an underdog story. Then we have worse. Take competition right into the feed. Comparing yourself to a competitor or having two people use your product in a challenge. Content where viewers want to know the outcome at the end keeps people watching. Next is skits. Too many brands take themselves too seriously. Humor content is consuming fashion now and will be coming for all industries shortly. And as always behind the scenes of your campaigns. These shot on disposable, film, or vintage cameras are really hot right now. I've collected some of my favorite references for these across brands of all types inside my Fourplay account. This is the tool I use to save content, including ads and organic posts into boards that can again go right into creative briefs in the platform. Comment rank, and I'll DM you a link right to all the references.
