The challenge

The sweets were authentic. The content looked like every other food account. Shalaby Sweets had generations of craft behind its Middle Eastern desserts, but nothing on the feed told that story.

The approach

We built the story around the making, not the product shot. Full storyboarding, platform native pacing, and an edit designed to make people feel what goes into these sweets. One video did the rest, and the account kept the audience it earned.

98% of the 385K viewers had never seen the brand before.

The content. Dessert first, made for the platform.
