What are the Leading AI Video Examples for Enterprise Scaling?

1. Harpic Flushmatic: AI Product Window (By SBN Media)

Harpic utilised AI to solve a specific marketing challenge: showcasing a product's invisible benefits in a way that feels tangible and premium. The Harpic Flushmatic AI ad, produced by SBN Media, demonstrates how generative visual effects and the AI Product Window strategy can create hyper-realistic environments where product performance is the hero.

The campaign highlights a shift from standard CGI to AI-driven generation. By using a split-screen AI Product Window, SBN Media shifted the consumer mindset from active scrubbing to passive maintenance.

• Identifying Pain Points: SBN Media used AI-generated scenes to identify household frustrations like bathroom stains and clogged drains.

• The Monster Metaphor: A child in a green monster mask serves as a powerful AI-enhanced visual symbol for invisible germs, creating an emotional need for a deep-clean solution.

• Visualising Frequency: An AI-generated montage of different hands pressing the flush button emphasises that the toilet is a high-traffic zone.

• Best for: FMCG brands, household cleaning products, and "Problem-Solution" marketing where demonstrating invisible benefits (like germs or longevity) is critical.

• The 240 Flushes Promise: The SBN Media AI Product Window highlights the "240 Flushes" claim, providing a direct, data-backed resolution to the high-traffic problem shown earlier.
  
  2. Zydus Breast Cancer Awareness (by SBN Media)

  SBN Media transformed health communication for Zydus Lifesciences by moving away from traditional "fear-based" messaging toward a narrative of empowerment. The campaign, titled "The Easiest Exam," utilised an AI-first workflow to normalise breast self-exams (BSE) through a "slice-of-life" storytelling approach.

  SBN Media created a safe visual space that encouraged over 500,000 women to take action during the Pinkathon event.

  • The "Curiosity Gap" Strategy: Instead of starting with medical facts, the film begins with relatable daily scenes like dropping kids at school or rushing to work, where loved ones provide a gentle nudge: "Don't forget today." This builds emotional investment before the medical message is revealed.

  • Prompting for Warmth: SBN Media avoided clinical, cold environments. The AI was meticulously guided to generate "Warm White" lighting and soft, domestic settings to signal comfort and safety.

  • Shared Responsibility: The campaign features men as active partners in the conversation. SBN Media iterated extensively on AI prompts to capture micro-expressions of warmth and concern in male characters, reframing BSE as a shared family care routine.

  • The "Human-Led" Edit: To ensure authenticity, SBN Media included moments of "hesitation" in the characters' performances (a small breath or a quiet pause), validating the real-world apprehension women feel before an exam.

  • Impact: The core message, "Do Haath, Teen Minute" (Two Hands, Three Minutes), simplified a complex medical task into a manageable habit.

  • Best for: Healthcare brands, CSR initiatives, and NGOs.

  • SBN Media Advantage: Compresses a traditional 8-week production timeline into 2 weeks while utilising "Empathy Prompting" to maintain a deeply human touch.

  3. Forter x Superside: All Systems Go

  Identity intelligence brand Forter faced a hurdle common among high-growth companies. Their creative goals were moving faster than their internal team could handle. They needed a high-concept, cinematic film for a sales kickoff meeting that would normally require months of pre-visualisation and animation.

  Instead of a traditional route, they opted for an AI-powered sci-fi animation. By using generative video tools, the team maintained strict brand alignment while producing visuals that rivalled major studio productions.

  • Best for: High-growth tech companies and internal brand alignment.

  • Pros: Rapid scaling of high-end animation; no need for massive animation crews.

  • Cons: Requires precise prompt engineering to maintain character consistency.

  4. IKEA Assembly Clip

  IKEA utilised the latest in text-to-video capabilities to create a gravity-defying assembly video. Instead of a standard how-to, the film shows a warehouse where furniture pieces explode from a box and snap into place with elastic, high-energy motion.

  The prompt for this video was meticulously crafted to ensure the physics of the furniture felt heavy yet magical. This represents a shift toward impossible cinematography that would be too expensive to film practically.

  • Best for: E-commerce and retail brands showcasing product assembly or variety.

  • Key Innovation: Uses Text to Video to create surreal, physics-defying marketing assets.

  • Pros: Zero physical sets required; allows for infinite creative what-if scenarios.

  5. Johnson Controls: Don't Surprise Bob

  Johnson Controls proved that B2B marketing does not have to be dull. They created a memorable, AI-assisted character named Bob to explain smart building technology. By using an AI-powered puppet style, they bypassed the need for expensive actors and physical locations.

  The results were undeniable. The team delivered the video 85% faster and saved over $47,000 in production costs.

  • Best for: Enterprise B2B companies with complex technical messages.

  • Why it worked: The character-driven approach made technical data feel human and relatable.

  • Pros: Massive cost savings; repeatable character assets for future campaigns.

  6. SBN Media’s Car Product Window AI Concept

  The automotive industry requires a balance of lifestyle imagery and technical specifications. SBN Media's Car Product Window ad uses a dual-frame AI approach. At the same time, the main footage shows a car in a scenic environment, a digital window generated by AI overlays real-time data about safety features and interior comfort.

  This allows the viewer to see the soul of the car and the brain of the car simultaneously.

  The core strength of the Car Product Window is that it is an uncut, smooth, single-shot video.

  • The Technical Challenge: These are notoriously difficult to create with AI, as maintaining visual consistency without cuts often leads to "morphing" or glitches.

  • The SBN Edge: We deliver a seamless, continuous flow that feels like a big-budget cinematic crane shot, ensuring the product remains the hero from start to finish.

  • Key Feature: Dynamic data overlays that change based on the viewer's demographic or location.

  • Best for: Automotive and high-tech manufacturing.

  • Key Feature: Dynamic data overlays that change based on the viewer's demographic or location.

  7. Popeyes’ (w)Rap Battle

  To challenge a major competitor, Popeyes used AI to create a viral diss track in just 72 hours. By using AI music models and video models, they produced lyrics, visuals, and a catchy beat that dominated social media conversations.

  This example shows that AI is the ultimate tool for Reactive Marketing. This is the ability to respond to cultural moments or competitors while they are still trending.

  • Best for: Consumer brands looking for viral social media engagement.

  • Pros: Instant production turnaround; high cultural relevance.

  • Cons: High-speed delivery may trade off some cinematic polish.

  8. Microsoft Surface: CoPilot Powered Creativity

  Microsoft's campaign for the Surface line used AI to show the flow state of a creator. Instead of showing the laptop as a static tool, the AI-generated visuals demonstrate how CoPilot interacts with the user's imagination.

  The campaign was completed in under a month. This is a timeline previously impossible for a global product launch of this scale.

  • Best for: Tech brands showcasing software and hardware integration.

  • Why it worked: It positioned the technology as a partner in the creative process.

  9. Coca-Cola: Create Real Magic

  Coca-Cola gave the keys to their brand identity to their fans. By building a proprietary platform, they allowed users to create their own festive AI videos. The best ones were then featured on global billboards.

  This is the ultimate example of Co-Creation. It turns the consumer from a passive viewer into an active participant in the brand's story.

  • Best for: Global consumer brands with high brand loyalty.

  • Pros: Massive amounts of user-generated content; deep emotional connection.

  10. SBN Media’s Solar Panel Product Window

  For the Solar EPC industry, explaining technical efficiency is often a hurdle. SBN Media utilised AI to create a high-impact Product Window advertisement that makes the invisible visible. Instead of relying solely on distant drone shots, this strategy integrates a dedicated window where the solar panels are visualised from a close-up, macro perspective.

  This provides a premium introduction to the product, showing the texture, build quality, and energy flow in crystal-clear detail.

  The core strength of the Solar Product Window is that it is an uncut, smooth, single-shot video.

  • The Technical Challenge: These are notoriously difficult to create with AI, as maintaining visual consistency over a long duration without cuts often leads to "morphing" or glitches.

  • The SBN Edge: We deliver a seamless, continuous flow that transitions from scale to detail without a single break, ensuring the viewer's focus remains on the product's quality.

  • Key Innovation: Merges wide-scale site footage with high-fidelity, close-up product visualisation in one fluid motion.
