The hook
My skin barrier was wrecked. Here is what actually helped.

The brief

Halden had run polished studio spots and a round of generic AI avatars. Both looked like ads, and both died in the first second. They needed creative that felt like a real person talking about a real problem, without inventing a single claim.

What we made

We pulled the exact phrases customers used in reviews, wrote nine hooks around the three most repeated pains, and directed every frame around Halden's real bottle and label. Each cut went through our slop check before it left the studio: no drifting lip-sync, no warped packaging, no claims outside their approved copy.
