A bit of creativity can do a lot. Leveraging innovation in your advertising teaser will make your offering stand out in the most crowded spaces and turn heads toward your brand.
More businesses are embracing video content, and your competitors are doing the same. Consequently, your audience is overwhelmed with vast amounts of video content. Therefore, grabbing their attention is indeed difficult.
To stand out among the millions of videos published on various channels daily, your brand must invest in creating something truly unique and one-of-a-kind, something that will pique the curiosity of your audience.
In this blog, we will review top creative teaser advertising examples. The goal is to give you inspiration on how to be innovative when making an advertising teaser and capture more attention.
Let’s start by discussing the first instance.
CASIO G-SHOCK Product Teaser
Have you ever heard the name G-Shock? It is a sub-brand of Casio, a well-known Japanese company that has been producing watches for more than 70 years.
The G-Shock series, with its high resistance and modern appearance, is a versatile companion for the younger generation. These rugged watches are not just for show but are ready to accompany you on any adventure, from hiking and skiing to mountain climbing, scuba diving, and swimming.
Presenting the brand and its products demonstrates the effectiveness of its attention-grabbing teaser.
Back in 2018, The marketing department in Casio decided to make a 3D animation and give the DW-5600BB the primary role since the objective was to promote this series. Blending 3D animation techniques with stunning products results in an innovative advertising example that will likely be successful in reaching its predetermined goals.
The discussed video demonstrates all of G-Shock’s impressive attributes and features, such as water resistance and toughness. Regardless of the circumstances, the G-Shock remains fully functional.
In addition to stunning visuals created in 3D animation, the background sound plays a crucial role in provoking excitement and making the audience pay full attention to the short advertising teaser.
IAG Cargo – The National Gallery
As the name implies, IAG Cargo is a company offering cargo transportation services. It is a division of the International Airlines Group and has three hubs. These hubs are located at Dublin Airport, Heathrow Airport, and Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport.
In an advertising teaser, they depict their partnership with the National Gallery, a museum hosting valuable historical art. The slogan is noteworthy and highlights the importance of accountability:
Irreplaceable artwork. When one needs moving, we’re there.
Handling historical artwork, which is considered sensitive cargo, requires maximum care. Even a minor negligence can lead to irreparable damages. This is why IAG Cargo’s careful approach to moving such items is not just a preference but a necessity.
IAG Cargo marketing managers created an advertising teaser that demonstrates their expertise in delivering various items with the highest level of care, as probably nothing demands more protection than historical artwork during transportation from one place to another.
In addition to a creative mindset for narrating the partnership, we must admit that the visuals are also excellent and can capture attention efficiently.
Samsung – Galaxy AI Teaser
In recent years, Samsung and Apple have been locked in a fierce marketing competition, consistently releasing memorable ads and teasers, some of which are genuinely memorable and leave lasting impressions on their target audiences.
Recently, both parties have been planning to integrate artificial intelligence into their smart devices since this new technology is on the rise, and people expect to access it through their fabulous smartphones.
Here comes a challenge. How do we inform people about the capability of AI to be leveraged on devices? Samsung overcame this challenge with a short, simple, and yet innovative teaser.
In the mentioned teaser, which is slightly more than half a minute, the marketers emphasize that the AI that users will experience in new devices enables them to push boundaries and be creative like never before.
Whether it is making minor tweaks or completely transforming your work, the AI in Samsung’s new devices is there to assist you. This versatility is what makes Samsung’s AI so appealing, as it can handle a wide range of tasks.
The actors and actresses in the video are young and vibrant, reflecting the modern and forward-thinking nature of Samsung’s AI. They encourage viewers to embrace innovation without hesitation.
The scenes in this short teaser are simple yet impactful. After each actor mentions a sentence that conveys the limitlessness of the AI, an actress says, ‘Open that door,’ and then the light starts to shine on people’s faces. This genius shift shows that a new era is about to begin with the Galaxy AI.
At the end, the slogan which is, ‘Unfold Your Story,’ is displayed on the screen, reinforcing that this AI allows you to narrate in a completely different, creative way.
Asus – Gaming Keyboard
Years ago, Asus’s marketing department created a short ad for a gaming keyboard that grabbed a lot of attention toward a mechanical keyboard gamers adore.
Gaming is a lucrative industry that is more valuable than the film and music industries combined. Predictably, the competition in this field is fierce, and to stand out among rivals’ advertisements, Asus invested in creating a magnificent video teaser that is short and to the point.
The keyboard’s key feature is its detachable numeric pad, which can be repositioned or removed entirely, providing flexibility for the user.
The extremely short teaser, which is less than 30 seconds, creates excitement with the help of wonderful background music and makes the audience demand more information on this product.
Additionally, The vibrant backlighting is skillfully showcased in the video, highlighting a key feature of this keyboard.
Louis Vuitton – Women’s Fall-Winter 2024
The famous luxury brand Louis Vuitton gathered some actresses like Emma Watson as the brand’s ambassadors for this well-created teaser.
The video starts with a scene of several letters being prepared on papers carved with the Louis Vuitton logo. Afterward, those famous actresses come onto the scene, reading the letter they received from the brand.
The perfect mixture of the well-selected background music and various narrators’ voices that read the letter for ambassadors convey a sense of greatness, announcing the celebration of 10 years at the brand as the art director of the women’s collection on behalf of Nicolas Ghesquière.
The text is influential and emotional, mentioning the first time those actresses came to this person’s first show for the brand, ten years ago, at the beginning. Then, narrators on behalf of Nicolas state that he remembers the joy he experienced on that first show, inviting them to the special event after a decade, starting a new dawn, totally loyal to Louis Vuitton philosophy, he claims.
Upon finishing the letter, actresses feel charmed and accept being a part of the history written by this brand.
In this teaser, the Earth is depicted from space, with a distant view of the moon. Afterward, the teaser takes viewers to the Louvre in Paris from above and brings them straight into the luminous Cour Carrée, where the show is going to be hosted.
Through this approach, the creators emphasize the global significance of the Women’s Fall-Winter Collection in an innovative way.
Meta Quest – Oculus Quest
In this video, the traditional entertaining activities are shown as level 1 experiences, which most people globally enjoy.
In the first part, those classic activities are mixed with some futuristic attributes that emphasize the shift we will experience with Oculus, as one of the pioneers in the VR headsets industry.
The video underscores immersion in new experiences effectively by depicting players as main characters within games. The teaser successfully conveys a sense of shock, as the actors are surprised by the immersive experience.
In the final moments, the Oculus is introduced as a standalone gaming device that operates without the need for computers. This is level 2 that Oculus offers, and it provides people with a new world in which players take a more serious part and act as characters in the game.
They should actively move around, and the experience totally differs from when gaming was limited to pushing some buttons on controllers, keyboards, and computer mice.
More than half of a million views on YouTube proves that the creativity leveraged in this teaser is a triumph and grabs the target audiences’ attention efficiently.
Namour’s Adventure – SGI
Namour is another work of Dream Farm Agency that we find worthy of inclusion in the list of creative advertising examples.
The Saudi Arabian desert, an expanse that has remained unchanged for millennia, is now the focus of a monumental transformation, thanks to the ambitious plans of the Saudi kingdom and the power of technology.
In a blog post, we have covered all aspects of this fabulous project.
To introduce Namour to people, we have created a teaser for this campaign, with a touch of creativity, aiming to turn heads toward the project in a short video. The teaser consists of high-end CGIs alongside the brand mascot we have designed for Namour as the leading actor.
Just like all great teasers, it performs well in terms of teasing viewers about upcoming marketing materials and project details.
The creative use of the brand mascot in the desert, in addition to depicting ancient signs on the rocks, successfully conveys a sense of significance to viewers. The final scene, where we describe Namour trying to embrace the desert, shows that the hero of this story is going to change everything.
All Nippon Airways (ANA)
To help ANA reach its goal, we made a teaser video that shows the connection between Japan and China. We brainstormed and refined the concept, then moved on to making the video. The video stands out because it has beautiful scenes from both China and Japan, showing how the two countries work together. This approach helped emphasize the partnership and services offered by ANA, making a strong story that connected with the audience.
Scofield Digital Storytelling – MCL Noodle
This is another animation in the list of creative teaser advertising examples. Scofield Digital Storytelling, based in Indianapolis, produced a short yet visually captivating animated teaser for MCL Noodle.
MCL Noodle, a restaurant known for its homemade foods, is the star of this video. The video cleverly highlights the value of homemade foods, which is the unique selling point of MCL Noodle. The use of a cartoon style, bold lines, and flat colors creates visually appealing and warm visuals. The animated teaser uses simple elements and characters to evoke a sense of playfulness and engagement in the viewers, making the advertising more effective and memorable.
Remember that alongside charming visuals and excellent background music, the short story that is being narrated plays a crucial role in this creative teaser. As you are aware, brand storytelling is a weapon in a business’s arsenal that helps it achieve various marketing milestones. MCL did this very well in its partnership with Scofield Digital Storytelling.
Google – Google Pixel 9 PRP
Google Pixel phones marketing team made an advertising teaser for Pixel 9 in October 2024, which we will examine here as the last instance of creative teaser advertising examples.
The beginning of the video is genuinely attention-grabbing, dropping those two big names in this field. This is how the teaser starts.
Viewers see the Gemini interface, the Google AI-powered chatbot. The prompt asks the AI to write a breakup letter to all old phones, indicating that the user has found something new.
After finishing the prompt, the smartphone created by Google flips to show the other side and its differently-shaped cameras.
Everything in this short teaser is chosen wisely to reach an innovative outcome at the end. For example, the initial music has a sad rhythm related to breaking up, which is likely to be a tragic decision most of the time. Moving forward, once it is clear that it is about setting old phones aside and getting a new magnificent production, the music shifts to an exciting rhythm perfectly, aligned with the changes on the screen.
The on-screen text confirms that the Pixel 9 Pro will feature AI, a standard in modern devices.
Additionally, depicting Gemini indicates that the Pixel 9 pro is suitable for the everyday use of artificial intelligence in an indirect way.
As you can see, animated teasers are becoming more popular, and many big and small brands are utilizing them to create advertising teasers.
