Zazzle Boosted Awareness with QuickFrame-Produced CTV Creative

Wanting creative support on a Connected TV campaign that would coincide with the end-of-year shopping season, Zazzle decided to test the waters with QuickFrame’s unique approach to video production.

The Goal

Zazzle connected with QuickFrame through Creative-as-a-Subscription™, a program in which MNTN advertisers can redeem “credits” in exchange for Connected TV ad creative. With CaaS, they gain access to the QuickFrame Maker Community, a consortium of video production experts who can concept and create any kind of video ad, for any use case. Zazzle had never worked with QuickFrame before, and were curious to test the waters to see what QF Makers could help them cook up to increase brand awareness throughout the busy holiday shopping season.


The Approach

It all started with a creative brief submitted to QuickFrame’s platform. In Zazzle’s brief, they detailed everything they needed support on, from pre-production scripting to post-production editing, along with location scouting, talent sourcing, and the creation of motion graphics, just to name a few. They also provided an overview of their initial creative vision — a campaign that uses storytelling to weave a sentimental (but not saccharine) narrative around their holiday products and services, while still retaining all of the playfulness you’d expect from a company with a name like Zazzle.

But Zazzle understood the true spark of creativity comes through collaboration. In their brief, they made clear that the Maker would have a lot of control over shaping the creative vision for the campaign. While they did offer visual references for the style they had in mind, and detailed what products should be showcased in each of the four spots, they left it up to the Maker on how to creatively bring the ads to life.

After submitting their brief, Zazzle fielded several pitches from Makers vying for the project. With the support of QuickFrame’s Customer Success and Creative Operations teams, they landed on a Maker who not only pitched great visual ideas, but had a strong understanding of the business, their voice, and how best to lean into their slogan, “Make Zamazing.”

Throughout the production cycle, Zazzle consistently provided feedback and advice while still honoring their commitment to letting the Maker maintain control of the creative vision. This balance empowered the Maker to, well, make the best creative decisions for the video ads, and based on the quality of the final cuts alone, this approach worked out in spades.


The Results

Zazzle was ecstatic with the Connected TV ads produced by the Maker. They were a perfect match, speaking the same language and establishing a great deal of trust so the Maker could quickly address Zazzle’s feedback for fine-tuning the spots. Their work together was so efficient, the creative was finalized before they even used all of the revisions available to them.

Not only did they come away with high-quality creative, they saw solid performance gains, too. After a quarter of advertising with MNTN and QuickFrame-produced CTV creative, Zazzle saw a 13% relative increase in brand awareness. As a well-established brand founded in 2005, an uplift at this scale shows they are gaining exposure to new audiences, thanks in part to the fantastic video ads produced by the QuickFrame Maker Community.

After the success of this campaign, Zazzle is already well underway on their next project with QuickFrame, slated to release in early 2025.


Working with QuickFrame, we have been able to rapidly iterate and generate creative that is on par with past campaigns that cost several times more. QuickFrame’s approach to creative feels incredibly forward-thinking, leveraging technology and networking to create cost-effective, quality creative at high-velocity. ”
