Skip the Chemicals and Just Go With Organic

The simple truth is there are over 700 chemicals found in conventional farming and manufacturing that you can skip when you organic. So we created the world’s most skippable ad campaign, which featured long form chemical content that we asked you to skip.

The World's Most Skippable Ad (That People Refuse To Skip)

We created a 30-minute ad in which we repeatedly asked people to hit the skip button. We assumed they would only watch the first 15-30 seconds, get the message and move on. But we were wrong. The ad ran on YouTube pre-roll, and on average people watched over 7 minutes. And way too many people watched the whole thing.

The World's Most Skippable Content

We created the world’s most skippable versions of some the most popular online videos: ASMR, Cake Decorating, and recipe videos. Each video included all 700 chemicals you can skip when you go organic, which meant they ranged from 46 minutes to 6 hours long. Each one broke records for watch time and engagement. Our cake video alone had an average watch time of 10 minutes, with some viewers watching these videos til the end.
