Analysis of the Creative
With the rise of YouTube, TikTok, and other social media video, user-generated content (UGC) has become a powerful tool. UGC is content created by users, rather than the brand itself, to promote social proof, product benefits, and more.
In a quick and informative video, this Once Upon a Farm video ad example shows how brands can highlight happy customers, use cases, and brand benefits. By showing how these products make breakfast (and life in general) easier for busy families, the brand solves a significant pain point for their audience. With this strategy, Once Upon a Farm hopes to show customers genuinely enjoying their products, so other families might want to give them a try as well!

More than ever before, customers care about several aspects of your brand. Most customers — 70% according to Sprout Social — want transparency about where your brand stands on economic, political, and social issues.
Since consumers want to support brands that align with their own values, they want to know what’s important to you. When many companies begin planning, they imagine their values-based marketing content has to be serious and dry, but this Freshpet video proves you can have fun with it!
With cute claymation creative and an upbeat voiceover, this video explains the brand’s community initiative and encourages viewers to nominate their favorite animal shelters to help improve the lives of rescue pets. This strategy shows off Freshpet’s commitment to their values and encourages viewers to connect with them on this emotional level.
