What makes Cool Boost… Cool?
The Cool Boost systems incorporate sophisticated functionality coupled with next level customization to offer the performance industry a proudly South African alternative to global brands. Their water methanol kits deliver incredible value through a prime focus on safety and performance all the while maintaining affordability.
What Cool Boost wanted to achieve…
Leverage Digital
Cool Boost wanted to explore the option of leveraging off of digital mediums to reach and communicate with a large audience.
Kick-start YouTube
The intention was to kick start the Cool Boost Systems YouTube channel with video content that resonated with their target audience and enticed them to subscribe for more “Cool” videos.
Provide Product Insights
Having developed an awesome product, Cool Boost wanted to communicate their unique offering and educate potential customers on the notable features of their products.
What did Cool Boost need?
Being a sole proprietor, Brendan had a limited access to a creative skill-set and needed to find a creative partner that could not only produce the content he envisioned but one that could also understand the bigger vision of what he was trying to achieve. Brendan wanted a flexible solution that would enable him to create his own content for the channel that was consistent with the more purposeful “Wow” pieces he would use to market the Cool Boost products.
Getting to know Cool Boost Systems…
To truly understand what the vision entailed for Cool Boost Systems, we first familiarised ourselves with the company and the competitive landscape in which they operated. Brendan had unpacked how their products were positioned in the market and how they were different from their international competitors.
The enthusiastic entrepreneur had found himself competing on a basis of being the best cost provider in the industry, offering prospective customers access to premium features at a very difficult to beat price.
Brendan explains his situation, “Prior to working with Ascendant Studio, we had no way to visually describe our products to interested parties. This forced us to explain its inner workings over the phone or in person. It was highly annoying as not all customers could visualize the technical detail we were describing and it lead to a lot of unnecessary time spent with customers repeating information. Cutomers quite often initially had the wrong idea of the product’s application that lead them to us.
We were also in the position where we could not compete with advertising on social media and search engines because we only had static images that did not really capture the target audience’s attention.”
What was the Communication Strategy?
Ascendant Studio recommended creating Cool Boost Systems animations that spoke of a premium product with a friendly approachability that car lovers would resonate with. Our communication strategy was to be executed with animated promotional videos that illustrated the three key unique selling points of Cool Boost Systems.
Progressive Injection
Incredible performance is achieved through the feature of progressive water methanol injection that offers enhanced delivery.
Protection
There were two notable safety features, one in the form of Protection, that is offered through sophisticated self-monitoring of the controller unit.
Detection
The second safety feature, Detection, speaks to the inclusion of a system to detect potentially catastrophic pressure loss.
A Clear Direction
Cool Boost Systems now had a structured approach to communicating with their market that infused an essence of what their brand and products represented – Safe and reliable performance at an affordable price.
The company was empowered with marketing tools in the form of Cool Boost Systems animations that could reach a broad audience and more importantly captured an identifiable brand identity. Along with the creation of the video, were elements like a logo build animation and closing CTA that empowered Cool Boost Systems to create their own ad-hoc video communications for their YouTube Channel
Brendan shared with us how the communication strategy has helped his business, “By using the animation of our system’s inner workings and application, it has driven the correct traffic to us from posting the videos on our social media pages. Our systems support site also includes our videos, which gives us confidence that the animation portrays the same professionalism and accuracy of an experienced employee for questions that customers can’t ask us directly.”

We asked Brendan to share the results he experienced with utilising the Cool Boost Systems animations: “From the ad sets we have run, we have never drawn the views and interest we received compared to static images and amateur videos we have done in the past. The clarity of the animations allows for focused attention on our products and almost always converts to an enquiry, which we have been massively impressed with. We have also been able to use the videos for repeat ads on different platforms to remind customers of our product for different events throughout the year. The animations have created the impression of a ‘big professional company feel’ to potential customers which promotes sales for us. We have also begun with an international outreach and the videos has helped to close the language barrier which quite often can cause a loss of interest from the get go.”
