Principles
-
The entire video focuses on one benefit of a product and communicates it to the consumer
-
The video is product-neutral
-
Can be somewhat "technical"
-
Comparison video - is a Single benefit video (with all its principles) that uses a comparison shot as its main vehicle for benefit communication
-
Comparison can be a split-screen or a side-by-side
-
Both benefit videos follow a common structure to ensure better legibility for the consumer. This increases brand recognition and attribution.
-
The video starts with an intro, followed by the body of the video which is used to communicate the main message, and ends with our logo and brand promise accompanied by our sound logo.
​
Individual building blocks of the video are described in greater detail in the following subchapters.
​
Intro
Duration
-
4-6,5 seconds
​
OST - Subhead
-
Text: Brand + Product group or in some cases Product category for which the given benefit is applicable
-
Product group/category is in plural
-
Should be one line (if possible)
-
If we talk about benefit applicable to multiple categories (e.g. the benefit is for both WM, TD and WD), in that case we should use: AEG Laundry Care” or “AEG Laundry Care - PowerCare 59min”
​
-
In rare cases, if the benefit is not easily linked with one category or it doesn't work well, we don't have to use the default structure in the subhead
-
Instead, we would use just the benefit name
-
For example in connectivity:
-
Subhead: My AEG Care app ( =official name for the connectivity app/benefit)
-
Headline: The next level of appliance interaction (=Eden benefit headline)
-
OST - Headline
-
Text: Benefit headline from Eden copy - please respect all the punctuations
-
Max length (per Eden): 64 characters
-
If the benefit name is not a part of the headline, we use it in the second part of the subhead separated by a dash (e.g. AEG Washing Machines - Microplastic Filters)
