Atlassian | It starts with Jira!

A team of innovators stands proudly in a high-tech workshop with a futuristic, egg-shaped vehicle. The ad then flashes back to show how they got there.

Through a fast-paced montage, engineers, designers, and managers collaborate across locations. They constantly reference Jira to track progress, fix code, and update designs.

Simple animated icons—code, lightbulbs, checkmarks—visualize their tasks. The ad ends by revealing the project’s origin: a woman at home looking at a simple egg, sparking the “Flying Egg Car” idea.

The message: this huge achievement started with a single idea managed in Jira.

The Formula (That Works at Any Budget)

Painful truth: Big projects are messy, scattered tasks.
The ad shows an ideal workflow where every contribution is synchronized toward one big goal.
→ Lesson: Sell the dream outcome of perfect coordination, not just a feature.

Visualization: Abstract tasks as simple icons.
Instead of complex dashboards, clean icons float above people’s heads, representing ideas, approvals, and tasks.
→ Lesson: Turn complex software processes into easy-to-understand visuals.

Single punchline: “Big ideas start with Jira.”
Starting with the final product and ending with the humble spark, the tagline connects Jira to ambition and creativity.
→ Lesson: Link your product to the user’s big dreams and creativity.

Humor Breakdown

The tone is light and aspirational, not comedic. The humor is subtle, found in the whimsical project name, the “Flying Egg Car,” and the satisfying completion of a complex plan.

→ Lesson: Enjoyment doesn’t need jokes; the joy of solving a problem perfectly can be just as compelling.

Final Verdict

Jira sells the feeling of seamless achievement. The fast montage and clean visuals make project management exciting.

It positions Jira as the essential “central nervous system” that turns ideas into world-changing products.

This inspiring ad connects with the ambition in all of us.

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.
