01 · Brief

Comvita sells a graded, premium honey where the label numbers do the persuading. This cut keeps every label line legible (UMF 10+, MGO 263+, Product of New Zealand) and wraps them in a moving brand mark, so the premium reads without sound or voiceover.

02 · Hook: the thumb-stop

Frame one is the brand's C built from glossy honey, glass and black ribbons: the mark lands before the product does, and it moves.

03 · Angle

Brand-mark product reveal: the ribbons that draw the C wrap the jar, so the grade on the label (UMF 10+, MGO 263+) reads as part of the logo, not as small print.

04 · Structure, beat by beat

  1. Hook · 0.0–1.5 s

    Honey ribbons curl into a C: the brand mark before the jar.

  2. Product + grade · 1.5–5.0 s

    The jar lands among honey ribbons; the label carries the grading (UMF 10+ · MGO 263+) that Mānuka buyers check first.

  3. Texture · 5.0–8.0 s

    Layered honey slabs in macro: thickness and colour as the quality cue.

  4. End card · 8.0–9.7 s

    The ribbons close back into the C: logo lock-up end.

Not in this cut: an offer. In a Sprint the offer (price, bundle, guarantee) is a test variable: a 1.5 s card swapped in before the end frame.

05 · What we'd test first

  1. A

    Opener: the C-swirl frame one against a jar-first frame one, judged on 3-second views per impression.

  2. B

    Proof order: the UMF / MGO grade on the jar close-up against a grade-first super, judged on hold to the end and outbound click-through.

06 · What a Sprint does with it

  • Thumb-stop first. The first 1.5 s decides whether anyone sees the rest. We cut three openers from this master and let the account pick, instead of arguing about taste.
  • One master, many cuts. This master becomes the 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 set in two lengths, captioned and named for your ad account, so testing velocity is limited by budget, not by edits.
  • Ahead of creative fatigue. New hooks and angles land before frequency climbs on the winner, so the account is never waiting on the next shoot.
  • Judged on CAC, not on likes. Each cut has a hypothesis and a kill rule; the day-21 read-out says which one lowered your cost per acquisition and which one lost.
