Creative Campaign Concepts

“Single Awareness Day” - Concept Script for a retail company

Brand: Large retail chain (Walmart / Target / Carrefour / etc.)
Theme: Valentine’s Day
Tone: Relatable, humorous, lightly ironic
Format: Short commercial (30–45 seconds)

Insight:
Valentine’s Day advertising often ignores people who are single, even though they’re a huge part of the audience. But spending quality time — with friends or alone — is just as valid as celebrating with a partner.

Concept:
Flip the typical Valentine’s Day narrative by telling a “relatable loner” story inspired by the trendy “literally me” characters. Show that the store is a place where everyone can treat themselves, not just couples.


Script

Visual reference (mood & framing):

Fight Club–style mood reference

Scene reference for tone and composition. Used only as a visual mood reference.

Opening scene — Exterior, evening.
Two people sit in a “Fight Club–style” pose by the windows of a supermarket.
The person on the right (P1) starts speaking.

P1:
“Did you know today is Valentine’s Day?”

P2 (off-screen):
“No idea. How did you remember?”

P1:
“The cashier reminded me. Thought I was celebrating.”

P2:
“Why? What did you buy?”

Flashback sequence

P1’s voice continues as we follow him walking through the store.

P1 (VO):
“Nothing special… I just saw that chocolate we love, so I grabbed it.”

— P1 picks up a heart-shaped box of chocolates.

P1 (VO):
“Then I walked past the drinks aisle… wine was on sale, so I got one.”

— P1 checks a few bottles and chooses one.

P1 (VO):
“And since the power goes out at my place sometimes, I grabbed some candles.”

— P1 takes tall candles from the shelf.

P1 (VO):
“Oh, and you told me to get soap last week, so I picked that up too.”

— P1 grabs a bar of soap. A subtle Fight Club reference.

Checkout scene

The cashier smiles.

Cashier:
“Getting ready for a special day, huh?”

P1:
“…What?”

Cashier:
“Valentine’s Day! Great choices.”

P1 panics slightly.

P1:
“Y-yeah. Sure.”

The cashier hands him the bag.

Cashier:
“Happy Valentine’s Day!”

P1:
“Uh… thanks.”

Back to the opening scene

We now see that no one is sitting next to P1.
He’s been talking to himself the whole time.

He holds the wine bottle toward the empty space.

P1:
“Why does everyone act like you need a partner to have a good time?
Can’t we just enjoy the day with friends? Or by ourselves?”

He drops the bottle accidentally and it hits the ground.

P1:
“…Right?”

Cut to black.

Final Message

“Whether it’s for your partner, your friends, or just yourself — we’re here for you.”
Brand logo appears.

Why this concept works

  • Flips the usual Valentine’s Day narrative
  • Uses relatable humor + cultural references
  • Shows real product categories naturally
  • Appeals to singles without alienating couples
  • Positions the brand as inclusive and human
  • Fresh tone, strong emotional payoff

Silent Escape – Concept Script for a Book Café

Brand: Book Café Theme: Silence in the middle of a noisy city Format: 30–40 seconds Tone: Clean, minimal, realistic

Script

The film opens in a busy city center. A man walks through crowds while the surrounding noise quickly becomes overwhelming. Cars, conversations, random shouting, street activity, and urban chaos all blend together into a loud and stressful atmosphere. He’s breathing tightens and they look clearly overstimulated like he’s having panic attack.

He lost his control and steps inside the first door he saw without thinking.

As soon as he enter the book café, the sound stops. The room is quiet. People are reading, working, and drinking coffee without any noise or chatter. The atmosphere is calm and steady. He immediately relaxes.

The camera slowly pulls back, showing the café in the middle of the busy city. The existing café logo is visible on the door.

Final text on screen

A quiet place in the loudest part of the city.

Why this concept works

  • Creates a clear contrast between chaos and calm
  • Immediately communicates the café’s unique value: silence
  • Simple, visual, and easy to understand in seconds
  • Works internationally, no dialogue needed
  • Relatable insight: people want a break from constant noise
  • Effective for both ads and social content
  • Strong brand association through environment, not added graphics
