Strata Weight Vest - REP Fitness

July 2025

Film/Editing/Coloring

Overview

REP Fitness was releasing a new Weight Vest into the market.

We started with a long list of standout features but realized quickly that trying to show everything in one video made the content feel crowded and hard to follow.

  • To keep it clear, we chose to highlight only a few key benefits that could be shown visually—like how the vest stays in place during high-movement exercises and how easy it is to adjust.

  • Instead of overloading the viewer with technical info, we used natural workout footage to let the product speak for itself, showing how it fits into real routines.

  • We shot a mix of close-ups and full-body movement to balance detail with energy, making sure the content felt dynamic but still informative.

  • We kept text overlays minimal and focused—just enough to call out specific features without distracting from the visuals.

Shorts/Ads

We created two distinct reels (and ad variations) to serve different points in the buyer journey. One focused on educational storytelling. showcasing features like the slide-lock system, plate storage, and phone pocket for an audience actively comparing training gear. The other leaned into high-energy, aspirational fitness moments, aiming to grab attention fast and inspire viewers to see themselves pushing boundaries in the Strata™ Vest. This dual-approach let us test performance across placements and platforms, maximizing impact and giving potential customers a fuller picture—from the tech to the lifestyle.
