Notes, files and sources

Independent concept by Jason Walker, 2026, not commissioned or endorsed by Black Forest. No campaign ran; no results are claimed.

On the label. Cistanche tubulosa 200mg and tongkat ali 400mg (product title); 600mg per serving (front label); 60 capsules. Front label and product title on the official product page, 27 September 2026.

Social. Four executions in four schemes, each composed three ways (4:5, 1:1, 9:16). They are not an A/B test.

Emails. Spec emails; checked in Chromium only, no email client tested. The sending templates need the sender, postal address, unsubscribe link and a hosted image address before any send.

Commercial. Two takes of Jason’s own recordings, the clean one for Earmuffs on and the uncensored one for off, each composed for 16:9 and 9:16 with its own captions and transcript. The opening scene and the score were generated for this campaign; the product scene is the supplied campaign image.

Color. Kept. Within a few degrees of the label yellow #E3B401, slightly less saturated.
