Simply Cook is a food subscription service based in the United Kingdom that offers consumers a new way to cook from scratch, using chef-designed flavour pots and 20 minute step-by-step recipes. They provide recipe kits, which each consist of three flavor pots and a recipe card. Following their recipes, you combine a few items from your fridge or cupboard with their flavour pots to cook delicious meals from scratch. With over 100 recipes from around the world to cook, SimplyCook is a brilliant way to fight food boredom.
Currently, they are running a successful broadcast spot in the United Kingdom and they would like to continue the positive momentum in that market by repurposing it for YouTube. Their primary objective is to drive a £3 trial of their flexible (cancel at any time) subscription.
Utilizing the files they have provided, they would like you to create a :30 video that keeps the fun and energy of the broadcast spot while incorporating YouTube TrueView for action best practices. Please note that the current spot demonstrates the product by using "3", "2", "1" overlaid on each of the pots, illustrating the ease of the process. You are free to use this device or do something different. Files with and without the "3", "2", "1" overlays are provided in the Assets tab. Additionally, feel free to derive more copy from this page. Also, it's important to know that you can use anything from assets tab except the VO that's in the current spot. If your approach requires VO, you'll need to source that as part of the $3,750 budget.
For this project, once an editor is selected, they will be put directly in contact with the sponsor. All communication and feedback between both parties will run through the Tongal platform.
