[01]
The creator, a founder of the menswear brand Percival, delivers a fast-paced, humorous, and candid year-in-review for 2023. He chronologically recounts the brand's major moments, including successful product launches like their summer suit, high-profile collaborations with brands like Champion, Seinfeld, and Umbro, and celebrity endorsements. He balances these highs with transparent lows, such as a failed winter collection launch due to unseasonable weather, before concluding with gratitude for the brand's community despite a challenging economic climate.

A medium shot of the speaker addressing the camera directly, set against a visually dense background of colorful clothing on racks, creating an authentic, behind-the-scenes feel.

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back
Hook
A direct, high-stakes question about the outcome of the period being reviewed, immediately followed by a self-deprecating, relatable statement to establish a human tone.
Payoff
An emotional resolution that sidesteps a direct, data-driven answer to the initial question. Instead, it attributes success to the support of the community and concludes with a final, relatable, humanizing statement of exhaustion or reflection.

But there's been some really ideal moments.

We took a big bet early on after perfecting the summer suit.

We wanted everyone and their nan prepped and booted in our quarter-lined linen number.

We went all in on the 'One Suit, Suits All' campaign and I think it worked.

Ok, some collab time Champion 'Best But Better'

and then a Seinfeld collection, that we launched in-store with a comedy night.

You still haven't called me back Jezza?!

The question is at this point, have we made any money?

Suits kept selling, but crucially, some really nice dons helped us out.

Onto the summer of sport.

We got hit up by the tennis lords Slazenger and the football Gods at Umbro to create our first ever performance pieces.

August and despite dropping our most technical and textured winter to date,

it was 30 degrees outside and we didn't sell shit.

Luckily for us, we'd spent a year redeveloping the t-shirt and Auxiliary was born.

A dab of Canterbury, a dash of Bieber and Jameson took us into September, where we hosted our first football 'soccer' tournament.

In Oct we dragged our bloody knees across the pond and set up our first pop up shop in New York.

It was still absolutely roasting, but at least Barry sang Happy Birthday.

November is of course when you've got to bring in the dosh from Black Friday but we balanced it with a bit of Champion newness and a bit of Pepper Noir with our friend What Willy Cook.

So despite a bonkers economic climate, melting ice caps and Roy Keane not being able to pronounce Percival..

We couldn't do it without you, our Percival community. So thank you.
2023 has been twelve months of absolute spice, and consequently, I look old as shit. But there's been some really ideal moments. We took a big bet early on after perfecting the worse suit. We wanted everyone and their rank prepped and booted in our quarter line, linen number. We went all in on the one suit suits all campaign, and I think it worked. Okay. Some collab tier, champion best yes better, and then a Seinfeld collection that we launched in store for the comedy night. You still haven't called me back, Jezza? The question is, at this point, have we made any money? Suits kept selling, but crucially, some really nice dons helped us out. Onto the summer of sport, we got hit up by the tennis law, Slazenger, and the football gods at Umbro to create our first ever performance pieces. Obviously, peppered with lols throughout. August, and despite dropping our most technical and textured winter to date, it was 30 degrees outside, and we didn't sell shit. But even Goldblum could help us out. Luckily for us, we'd spent a year redeveloping the t shirt and Auxiliary was born, and you lot still bad your arms and knees out. A dab of Canterbury, a dash of Better, and Jameson took us in September where we hosted our first football soccer tournament. In Oxford, we dragged our bloody knees across the pond pond and set up our first pop up shop in New York. It was still absolutely roasting, but at least Barry sang happy birthday. There's something inside so strong. November is, of course, when you gotta bring in the dosh from Black Friday, but we balanced it with a bit of champion newness and a bit of better noir with our friend, Willy Cook. So despite a bonkers economic climate, melting ice caps, and we're all keen no being able to pronounce Percival Archival, assistant. Archival. Best couldn't do it without you, our Percival community. So rank you. I'm just tired.
