Umault | Possessed – The Origin Story of a B2B Marketer

A mother is worried. Her son, Damien, isn’t acting normal. He’s possessed—but not by a ghost. He’s obsessed with B2B marketing strategy. He blurts out phrases like “buyer journey” in a demonic voice.

This horror-movie parody blends a spooky setup with industry jargon. Umault uses the setup to poke fun at how serious B2B marketers can get—and how overthinking can take over your soul.

In the end, a priest offers the solution: just hire Umault for your B2B video needs. Problem solved.

The Formula (That Works at Any Budget)

Horror Setup + Industry Satire = Something You’ll Remember
The ad looks like a scary movie, but instead of a demon, the villain is marketing obsession.
Lesson: Parody lets you highlight real problems in a way people enjoy.

Buzzword Overload = Shared Pain, Shared Laughs
Damien’s “possession” sounds like a strategy meeting gone wrong. Marketers recognize the language—and laugh at themselves.
Lesson: Use exaggeration to reflect the audience’s world.

Quick Branding = Stronger Impact
Umault waits until the end to mention their name. That makes the message feel like a story—not a sales pitch.
Lesson: When your content is great, the CTA can whisper.

Humor Breakdown

The humor comes from the contrast. Horror movies usually feature dark spirits. Here, it’s dark strategy decks. The possessed kid spouting jargon hits close to home for anyone in B2B.

Lesson: Situational parody works best when the pain point is real.

Final Verdict

Umault’s “Possessed” is smart, funny, and sharply executed. It shows what happens when strategy goes too far—without ever getting boring. Marketers will laugh, cringe, and remember the name Umault.

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.
