Trello | No matter what’s up next, plan it with Trello

The video shows a campsite with all the equipment and supplies hanging on strings and organized in detail. Each item corresponds to a Trello card displayed on screen, highlighting how every essential for the camp—from tents to food to “40 lbs of ice”—was carefully planned on Trello. The ad visually demonstrates how Trello helps organize and plan down to the smallest detail. The final message emphasizes Trello’s convenience and thoroughness for business planning.

The Formula (That Works at Any Budget)

Visual Product + Physical Objects = Clear Planning Proof
The physical items hanging match the Trello cards, visually linking digital planning to real-world results.
Lesson: Show your product’s impact by connecting digital tools to tangible outcomes.

Detailed Items + Organized Layout = Trustworthiness
The exact count of supplies (like ice) and careful arrangement build credibility.
Lesson: Specific, detailed visuals reinforce reliability.

Minimal Text + Visual Storytelling = Easy Comprehension
The ad uses simple on-screen Trello boards and matching scenes without voiceover.
Lesson: Visual clarity and simplicity make messages accessible.

Humor Breakdown

There is no humor. The tone is straightforward and practical, focusing purely on showing how Trello makes planning easier.

Lesson: Not every ad needs humor—sometimes clarity and detail are enough.

Final Verdict

Trello’s ad effectively shows how detailed and organized your planning can be with their tool. By linking each Trello card to a physical item, it gives a strong visual proof of the product’s usefulness without extra narration or fluff. Clear, simple, and convincing.

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.
