WordPress.com | Build Your World

The ad follows creators from different professions — a baker, a barber, a designer, a chef, a florist, and more — as they build websites using WordPress.com. Each scene shows them working on their craft and customizing their online presence. A voiceover talks about the power of building your world online, whether it’s a store, a portfolio, or something entirely new.

The Formula (That Works at Any Budget)

Show the Work + Show the Site = Clear Product Demo
We see each creator doing what they love — baking, cutting hair, designing, or crafting. Then we see how they use WordPress to bring that work online.
→ Lesson: Link your product directly to the user’s goal to show immediate value.

Diverse Faces + Universal Story = Broad Reach
The ad features people of different backgrounds and industries. It tells a simple, powerful story: anyone can build something great with the right tools.
→ Lesson: Represent a range of users to make your brand feel inclusive and accessible.

Crisp Visuals + Confident Voiceover = High Clarity
No dialogue, just clean cinematography and a clear voiceover. This keeps the message focused and easy to follow.
→ Lesson: You don’t need complexity to be compelling — clarity sells.

Final Verdict

This ad nails the essentials. It’s visual, inspiring, and product-focused. WordPress.com is positioned as the tool for creators of all kinds — and by showing the actual process of building a site, it proves its value. The tone is confident, the message is empowering, and the call to action is clear: build your world.

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:

  • B — Boldness: Is the ad original, creative, or daring? Does it break away from generic B2B marketing, or is it just another forgettable corporate video?
  • R — Relevance: Does it connect with a real buyer pain point? Is it addressing a specific frustration or need, or just listing product features?
  • A — Attention: Does it grab and hold attention in the first few seconds? Is it visually or tonally engaging, or easy to skip?
  • V — Vibe: Does it create an emotional response—laughter, recognition, or surprise? Or does it feel like just another corporate info dump?
  • E — Effectiveness: 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.
