Hi, this is what your marketplace promo could look like

Marco has
enough chairs.

A light-hearted story about a seller with great products and too few buyers nearby, until all of Europe can find him. Made for your post, with a placeholder name until I know your brand.

The 24 second teaser

A seller with a workshop full of handmade chairs lists them for free, orders come in from Paris, Madrid and Berlin, and the punchline is an empty workshop: "Now Marco has a new problem. He needs more wood."

The story sells the result every seller wants: your things find a home across Europe. "Free" is the easy first step, not the headline.

  • Hook in the first second: an absurd but familiar situation, a chair falling and caught without looking.
  • Benefits shown, not listed: free listing, buyers in other countries, more sales.
  • Burned-in captions, because most people watch feeds without sound.
  • "YourMarket" is a placeholder; your logo, colours and app screens go in their place.

The storyboard

Five cinematic shots with the same characters and the same chair, plus motion graphics for the listing, the orders and the end card.

The full 30 to 40 second version

The teaser is the short cut. This is the full script for the main ad, beat by beat.

0–3 s
HOOK

A workshop in Bologna, packed to the ceiling with handmade chairs. Marco sips his espresso. A chair falls from the top of the pile; he catches it without looking.

"This is Marco. Marco makes the most beautiful chairs in Bologna."
3–6 s
THE PROBLEM, AS A JOKE

Wide shot: chairs on hooks, chairs on the workbench, a chair on the cat's favourite spot.

"Bologna… has enough chairs."
6–11 s
THE MOMENT

Marco photographs one chair like a proud father. The listing builds itself on screen: photo, description, "Publish for free".

"So Marco put them where all of Europe shops. Listing is free."
11–20 s
EUROPE ANSWERS

Order notifications pop up. Paris: a woman with café au lait falls in love with her chair. Madrid: two chairs on a sunny balcony. Berlin: a barista sets down chair number twelve.

"Paris wanted one. Madrid wanted two. A café in Berlin? Twelve."
20–26 s
PUNCHLINE

The workshop is empty. Echo. Marco sits on the last chair in the middle of the room, looks around, raises an eyebrow.

"Now Marco has a new problem. He needs more wood."
26–34 s
BRAND + CALL TO ACTION

Your logo. "List for free. Sell across Europe." Button: "Start listing". Optional sticker for the market: "Free listings in [country]".

"[Your marketplace]. List for free. Sell across Europe."

One format, every industry

The same structure works for every kind of seller, so the campaign can speak to many industries without starting from zero each time: an everyday overflow, a free listing, Europe answers, a punchline.
