Synthesia | Welcome to Synthesia

Synthesia’s “Welcome to Synthesia” ad doesn’t just explain what they do—it shows it. Created entirely using their AI avatars and voiceovers, the ad puts their own product on display from the very first frame. It’s polished, to-the-point, and just futuristic enough to make you raise an eyebrow (in a good way).

The Formula (That Works at Any Budget):

Product-as-the-Ad – This isn’t an ad about Synthesia; this is Synthesia. Every frame is generated using their AI video platform. That instantly builds credibility and intrigue.
Lesson: When possible, let your product be the proof.

Keep It Crisp – The runtime is just under a minute, yet it covers product benefits, use cases, and how it works—without ever feeling rushed.
Lesson: Tight scripting and visual rhythm make even short ads feel comprehensive.

Visual Simplicity, Strategic Utility – The avatars speak clearly, the background is clean, and the visual transitions are minimal. This keeps the focus on the tech and how it can be used by real teams.
Lesson: Let your messaging shine by removing visual clutter.

Global Accessibility Message – Synthesia points out that videos can be created in 120+ languages—subtly positioning itself as an inclusive, borderless tool for global companies.
Lesson: If your product has reach, bake that into your brand message.

Humor Breakdown:

This one skips the laughs and goes for futuristic credibility. No jokes, no punchlines—just calm, confident delivery from an AI avatar. The intrigue comes from realizing: “Wait… this video made itself?”

Final Verdict:

“Welcome to Synthesia” is a clean, clever way to showcase product and brand at the same time. No actors, no sets—just AI doing exactly what it promises to do. A perfect case of “show, don’t tell” for B2B marketers in the product-led era.

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.
