Branded Mayhem
    All WorkContent Systems + AI Workflows

    Security footage meets TikTok brain + a content engine that ships

    Platform-native creative and an end-to-end GPT toolchain that made surveillance feel useful (and weirdly likable).

    Challenge

    The Situation

    Most security brands market with fear. Sirens. Break-ins. Paranoia. Stock footage of hoodies. EyeQ wanted reach with small business owners and younger managers, but without triggering the "Big Brother" vibe. The real challenge wasn't "make content." It was: make surveillance feel normal, helpful, and shareable.

    Our Approach

    What We Built

    01

    "Friday Fails" recurring short-form series using real surveillance moments framed through humor

    02

    Series concept + tone rules: funny, never mean; relatable, not terrifying

    03

    Storyboard templates for hook → reveal → caption payoff → brand tag

    04

    AI-enhanced brand video with logo head swap for thumb-stopping weirdness

    05

    Custom GPT toolchain automating ideation, research, drafting, and conversion copy

    06

    Vigil: branded AI mascot for guided Q&A and sales framework

    Platform-Native Creative

    "Friday Fails" Short-Form Series

    The team built "Friday Fails" as a recurring, platform-native series using real surveillance moments framed through humor. Not "look what could happen." More like: "look what does happen." Comedy dropped defenses (people don't share fear-based security ads), made the product feel practical (cameras = clarity, proof, accountability), and created a repeatable format (series > one-off posts).

    Beat structure: hook → reveal → caption payoff → brand tag
    Type treatments, lower-thirds, punch-card captions, end cards
    Weekly cadence plan anchoring engagement and expectation

    The Weird Companion Piece

    AI-Enhanced Brand Video

    A short-form, platform-native video designed to personify the brand in a way security companies almost never do. Michael's head swapped with the EyeQ logo on green screen using AI voice modulation + facial tracking. Intentionally slightly uncanny, because that's what stops thumbs. Goal: communicate EyeQ's value without doing a feature list.
