The Return
A national comeback on a budget of under S$5K — teasers and launch films made in less than a week with AI.
Project type
Product launch
Client
GNC × Watsons
Context
After an abrupt exit from Singapore, GNC vanished without warning, leaving health enthusiasts hanging. In 2024, it made an unexpected comeback — exclusively through Watsons.
The challenge
The biggest challenge wasn't the timeline or the idea. It was the budget. We had less than S$5K to pull off a national launch: barely enough for a lunch shoot, let alone a comeback. How do you make noise with almost nothing?
The solution
We went rogue. In under a week, we used Runway and Kling to create cinematic teasers and launch films that looked straight out of a Hollywood trailer. It took some convincing (and a brave client), but it worked.
