Strategic Production Problem-Solving Creates Multi-Purpose Assets on a Tight Timeline

THE PREMISE
Croud approached Southend to create fresh, digitally native assets for Another Broken Egg Cafe's advertising and social campaigns. They needed content that balanced lifestyle moments with menu beauty shots, all within a tight budget and timeline.

THE PROBLEM
The disconnect between creative ambition and production reality threatened to derail the project before it even started. What started as a request for "a half-day shoot" quickly revealed the real constraints. The initial creative brief was ambitious.

OUR SOLUTION
Southend honed in on creating a small but flexible world to decrease time spent moving camera and gear and increase time shooting. We developed an efficient two-setup approach, operating a lifestyle booth setup and a high-end macro food setup in parallel during a single shoot day. We also cast a real family to ensure kiddos were comfortable with adults and interactions were natural. This approach delivered one 30-second broadcast commercial plus three 15-second social cuts, each tailored for different platforms, giving Another Broken Egg flexibility to deploy assets strategically across paid and organic campaigns.
