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](https://business.google.com/us/ad-solutions/youtube-ads/brand-connect/) received a flexible brief and posted their own videos about the coffee, in their own style, to their own audiences.Budget behind the proven winnersThe best-performing creator videos were then promoted as partnership ads through [Demand Gen](https://business.google.com/us/ad-solutions/demand-generation/), reaching far beyond each creator’s own subscribers.A reason to try it nowA limited-time discount gave new viewers a reason to act straight away.Clear audiencesThe campaign focused on the people most likely to want a protein-packed morning coffee: parents, students and commuters. ## Why it worked.
