Javvy Coffee had loyal early fans and needed to reach people who had never heard of it. It let creators make the videos their own way, then put ad budget behind the ones audiences already loved.

The challenge.

Javvy Coffee makes protein coffee. Its early customers found it on their own and loved it, but growth meant reaching parents, students and commuters who had never heard of the brand and had no reason to search for it.

Polished brand ads tend to be skipped by exactly those people. The brand needed video that felt like the content they already choose to watch.

What they did.

Creator videos · Creator partnership ads in Demand Gen · YouTube Shorts

Creators made it their way: YouTube creators received a flexible brief and posted their own videos about the coffee, in their own style, to their own audiences.
Budget behind the proven winners: The best-performing creator videos were then promoted as partnership ads through Demand Gen, reaching far beyond each creator’s own subscribers.
A reason to try it now: A limited-time discount gave new viewers a reason to act straight away.
Clear audiences: The campaign focused on the people most likely to want a protein-packed morning coffee: parents, students and commuters.

Why it worked.

Our read on the decisions behind the numbers, and what any business can take from them.

It did not look like an ad: A creator talking about a product they use reads as a recommendation. That is why viewers watched for 31 seconds on average.
The audience picked the winners: Paying to promote only the videos that had already done well organically removed most of the guesswork from creative.
Paid reach multiplied organic proof: About 1.4 million organic views showed what worked; paid promotion turned that into 6.9 million views from new people.
An offer closed the loop: Attention without a reason to buy fades. The discount turned interest into first orders.
