Challenge
As an online sunglasses' retailer, William Painter had to bridge the gap for a product normally purchased in person. They knew they needed a medium that could convey the high quality of their sunglasses — and how great they look on everyone.
Approach
William Painter turned to YouTube to make the most of the platform's powerful, authentic storytelling. Through YouTube TrueView for action ads, the company was able to showcase its products on a global scale. Shooting their first videos with smartphones, they tested several approaches and landed on humour as the best way to connect with customers. One video went viral — topping 65 million views and counting — and the brand took off.
