CMOs have bigger fish to fry than worrying about how to master the fine points of their Connected TV (CTV) creative. They’re orchestrating brand vision, product roadmaps, and high-level strategy that can make or break the year’s success.
Yet in 2025’s media landscape, that same leadership now also demands ads that not only speak to individual viewer preferences but also reflect what’s happening right now in culture - without delaying or derailing their master plan.
The Central Challenge
How do you stay focused on crucial brand objectives - like a new product launch or a global campaign theme - while still adapting to sudden cultural trends, local events, and seasonal moments?
The Core Solution
That’s where Origin and its award-winning suite of create products comes in. We see our role as being to make you the 'hero' of the brand, and we do this by being your premium provider of infrastructure, white-glove customer service and dynamic creative technology that empowers you to execute on your strategic vision without missing a beat. In other words:
You focus on what’s important (the big picture) and we'll make you the hero by handling the real-time, personal, cultural creative adjustments required for your brand to shine.
Three Ways CMOs Benefit Immediately
Personal and Cultural at Once
Your Focus: Align high-level messaging with the brand narrative—whether it’s a product story, a charitable initiative, or a rebrand.
Origin’s Role: Seamlessly tailor those themes to different audiences while folding in timely cultural cues—like local festivals, major show premieres, or industry announcements.
Result: Your brand stays consistent, yet each viewer feels spoken to, and each campaign remains on-point with current events.
Rapid Execution Without Extra Overhead
Your Focus: Direct top-line strategy. Finalize budgets, brand guidelines, and target outcomes.
Origin’s Role: Launch new creatives, update overlays, or swap calls to action within hours - not weeks - to match any last-minute cultural shift or audience insight.
Result: You never miss a pop-culture wave or unexpected retail spike, and your carefully orchestrated brand message remains intact.
Real-Time Analytics that Fuel Adjustments
Your Focus: Interpret campaign performance at a strategic level—where to double down, where to pivot.
Origin’s Role: Surface granular analytics (e.g., who responded best to a “holiday-themed” overlay vs. a “new-release” overlay), then implement immediate changes or expansions based on those insights.
Result: Quick pivots are integrated into your overarching plan, keeping ROI high without micromanaging every detail.
A Simple Framework: Plan Big, Execute Nimbly
Set Your Brand’s North Star
Define the core message or seasonal objective - whether it’s brand awareness, product debut, reintroduction of a heritage line or even straight sales (see CPG case study here Origin lifted sales 11.8%, compared to the 2.8% industry average).
Identify Cultural Windows
Map out upcoming events (sports championships, award seasons, local festivals) that align with your plan.
Activate Dynamic Creative
Load your brand’s creative assets into Origin’s ad-serving platform. We overlay personal data insights (age, location, behaviors) with those cultural cues - ready to deploy at scale.
Track and Refine
Check attribution; if a message outperforms, we can expand it. If a cultural moment shifts, we pivot - while remaining 100% loyal and on plan with when it comes to your brand’s core message.
Why This Matters in 2025
As more streaming platforms shift to ad-supported models and the lines between “TV” and “digital” blur, your job as the CMO is to make sure brand strategy lets you engage viewers in a personal-yet-universal way. People expect ads that mirror their tastes and join the conversation about what’s happening around them - be it a local parade, a final season premiere, or a breaking tech story.
So to all you amazing CMO's out there - your brand can (and should) excel at both - and with Origin you will never have to choose between your strategic priorities and harnessing real-time cultural relevance. Elevate your brand’s biggest objectives - without missing the cultural moments that captivate your audiences.
This makes YOU the hero, and that makes US happy. That’s the Origin way.
