The Concept

What is a Pitch Study?

Most agencies tell brands what they can create.

But we had a different thought. Why not create something first and let the work speak?

That’s what a pitch study is. We pick a brand, study what it does, and build a video concept around its story.

No client brief. No commissioned project. Just an opportunity to show what thoughtful storytelling can look like.

Who is NCA?

The National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA) is an American nonprofit organisation working to make cryptocurrency easier for everyday people to understand.

Through real stories, research, and educational resources, NCA helps people explore what cryptocurrency is, how it works, and where it fits into their lives.

The mission is simple. Make crypto less confusing and more approachable.

The Objective

Why We Chose NCA

Crypto is everywhere.

In the news. On social media. In everyday conversations.

But here’s the problem. Just because people are hearing about cryptocurrency doesn’t mean they understand it.

That’s where NCA comes in.

We saw an interesting storytelling opportunity. What if we could take a subject that feels technical and intimidating and make it feel familiar?

So instead of putting together another pitch deck, we decided to show our thinking through an actual video.

The idea wasn't to explain everything about crypto.

It was to make people curious enough to start understanding it.

How We Built It

A seven-step creative process

From understanding the brand to bringing the concept together.

Understanding the Brand

We started with NCA’s mission, its educational approach, and the message it wants people to remember.

Studying the Audience

We looked at why cryptocurrency feels confusing to everyday people and what could make the subject easier to approach.

Finding the Story

We moved away from technical explanations and built the concept around something simpler: crypto is becoming part of everyday conversations.

Writing the Script

We kept the language straightforward. Less jargon, fewer complicated explanations, and more focus on why understanding crypto matters.

Planning the Visuals

We mapped out how each scene would move the story forward, from growing adoption to real-world applications and NCA’s educational resources.

Building the Video

We brought together digital interfaces, motion graphics, and real-world visuals to turn the concept into something people could actually see and connect with.

Bringing It Together

We refined the transitions, pacing, and overall visual flow to make the story feel consistent from beginning to end.
