Monday.com | Your team’s future depends on monday.com

Monday.com launches a high-stakes workplace parody that feels more like a Hollywood disaster trailer than a typical B2B commercial. The setting? A project spiraling into chaos. The tone? Urgent, dramatic, and over-the-top. From doomsday voiceovers to slow-motion collapses, the ad uses action movie tropes to dramatize what happens when your team doesn’t use Monday.com.

Instead of listing features, the video creates a fictional scenario where every small delay leads to total organizational meltdown. It’s ridiculous, relatable, and razor-focused on one truth: without the right project management tools, everything falls apart.

The Formula (That Works at Any Budget)

Disaster Movie Parody = Maximum Engagement
The ad mimics the style of a high-budget action trailer. Quick cuts. Intense narration. Epic stakes. It all makes the viewer lean in.
Lesson: High-drama storytelling can make even mundane problems feel urgent.

Visual Escalation = Chaos to Clarity
We watch things go wrong—slow approvals, poor communication, missed deadlines—until everything collapses. Then, suddenly, order is restored with Monday.com’s platform.
Lesson: Exaggerate the pain to make the solution shine.

Team-Centric Message = Universal Relevance
This isn’t just about one person’s workflow—it’s about how the whole team suffers when tools don’t work. That makes the message resonate across departments.
Lesson: Sell outcomes for teams, not just individuals.

Humor Breakdown

The ad leans into absurdity—there’s literal fire, chaos, and a narrator warning of “inevitable doom” if you don’t use the platform. The humor isn’t in jokes—it’s in the parody. It’s self-aware and fun without undermining the core message.
Lesson: Satire can dramatize real business pain without losing credibility.

Final Verdict

Monday.com delivers a wildly entertaining B2B ad that breaks every “safe” marketing rule—and it works. By turning a missed deadline into an end-of-the-world scenario, they grab attention, explain the problem, and frame their product as the hero. It’s big, bold, and built for sharing.

Understanding the B.R.A.V.E. Scoring System

The B.R.A.V.E. scoring system uses AI to deliver an unbiased evaluation of top-of-the-funnel B2B brand ads. It measures potential impact, memorability, and effectiveness by assessing five key components of a video ad or commercial. This system gauges an ad's capacity to drive brand recall and enhance salience, ensuring that creative work not only captures attention but also leaves a lasting impression.

What B.R.A.V.E. Stands For:

Each letter represents a key factor in determining an ad’s success:

  • BBoldness: Is the ad original, creative, or daring? Does it break away from generic B2B marketing, or is it just another forgettable corporate video?
  • RRelevance: Does it connect with a real buyer pain point? Is it addressing a specific frustration or need, or just listing product features?
  • AAttention: Does it grab and hold attention in the first few seconds? Is it visually or tonally engaging, or easy to skip?
  • VVibe: Does it create an emotional response—laughter, recognition, or surprise? Or does it feel like just another corporate info dump?
  • EEffectiveness: Will buyers remember the brand when they need a solution? Does the ad make an impact that lasts beyond the moment?

How It’s Applied to B2B Video Rating

Each video is scored 1 to 10 in all five categories, based on how well it meets the criteria. The total score (out of 50) is then divided by 5 to give a final B.R.A.V.E. score out of 10.

For example:

  • An ad scoring B-8 | R-9 | A-7 | V-6 | E-8 has a total of 38/50.
  • The final B.R.A.V.E. score is 7.6/10.

Why It Matters

B2B ads often struggle with being bland, forgettable, or ineffective. The B.R.A.V.E. system ensures they are judged by their ability to break through, connect with buyers, and drive action.

Simply put: If your ad isn’t B.R.A.V.E., it’s invisible.
