Background

You don't have to be a professional athlete to pay attention to your nutrition, and that's why Nature Made is looking for personalities that embody the stories of people who are using vitamin supplements to support their everyday life. We are looking for charismatic individuals that come through on camera and share with us how Nature Made is helping them achieve their goals and find balance. Nature Made has multiple categories in which they help their customers. We would want our personalities to touch on at least one of these ideas:


Sleep


Immune health


Women's Health


Broad Nature Made

Objectives

Nature Made is the source for reliable vitamin supplements, and now, they want their social media to reflect the real people who use their products every day. As we meet customers in their normal lives, we want this content to feel sincere and natural so that viewers can see that Nature Made is part of a typical balanced life. 


This project is as much about casting as it is about producing good video content, because it's the authentic on-screen personalities that'll carry much of the weight. We're not looking for people with a social following, but it might even be helpful to think of this as "elevated" influencer content. Polished, professional, but intimate and personal in a way that feels like it's the work of an individual.  This means we will not only get to know our personality, but we will be showing the product integrated into their routine. The personality and story should ladder up to Nature Made's brand pillars. More on this in the Background / Additional Details section. 


The sponsor is hoping to greenlight 4 teams of filmmakers & personalities, but they are also open to greenlighting a filmmaker who can source more than one personality. If you are submitting to produce more than one suite, please submit separate pitches for each personality you'd film with.
