Re-edit Simply Cook's current broadcast spot for YouTube, and help introduce new consumers to this food subscription service.

Utilizing the files they have provided, they would like you to create a :30 video that keeps the fun and energy of the broadcast spot while incorporating YouTube TrueView for action best practices. Please note that the current spot demonstrates the product by using "3", "2", "1" overlaid on each of the pots, illustrating the ease of the process. You are free to use this device or do something different. Files with and without the "3", "2", "1" overlays are provided in the Assets tab. Additionally, feel free to derive more copy from this page. Also, it's important to know that you can use anything from assets tab except the VO that's in the current spot. If your approach requires VO, you'll need to source that as part of the $3,750 budget.

For this project, once an editor is selected, they will be put directly in contact with the sponsor. All communication and feedback between both parties will run through the Tongal platform.
