Apple Intelligence | Change your tone

A frustrated office worker finds their pudding missing from the fridge. They angrily draft an email to the team — but before sending, they use Apple Intelligence’s writing tools to change the tone. The revised, friendlier message ends up working: the pudding reappears on their desk, along with a compliment on the email itself. It’s a sharp, funny demo of how Apple Intelligence helps with real workplace interactions.

The Formula (That Works at Any Budget)

Real Workplace Scenario + AI Solution = Relatable Product Demo
The classic “who stole my food” situation gets a smart twist by showing how Apple’s tools can improve tone and prevent drama.
Lesson: Tapping into universal office pain points makes AI features feel practical and approachable.

Live Product Feature + Visible Impact = Immediate Value
The ad shows the tone change tool in action and then shows how it fixes the situation. There’s no guesswork — we see the benefit play out.
Lesson: Don’t just describe what your product does. Show it solving the problem in real time.

Short Story Format = Watchability + Clarity
In just 30 seconds, the ad sets up a conflict, introduces the AI solution, and lands the payoff.
Lesson: A simple three-act structure is powerful even in tight runtimes.

Humor Breakdown

The humor comes from a very real office experience — someone writing an overly intense email about food theft — and how Apple Intelligence politely rescues them from themselves. The contrast between the aggressive draft and the gentle rewritten version delivers the laugh.
Lesson: Humor based on restraint (instead of chaos) can still land if the situation is familiar and exaggerated just enough.

Final Verdict

This spot doesn’t just show AI — it shows restraint, relevance, and real value. By applying Apple Intelligence to an everyday frustration, it makes new tech feel human, helpful, and easy to use.

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.
