Crafting Emotional Connections: Behind the Scenes of Jeremiah's Italian Ice 'Hop Away Treats' Campaign
How Our Video Production Company Brought Jeremiah’s Italian Ice 'Hop Away Treats' Campaign to Life
At Kyle Loftus Studios, we believe in the power of storytelling through high-quality, strategic video content. As a top-tier video production company specializing in commercial video production for franchises, we were thrilled to partner with Jeremiah’s Italian Ice for their latest nationwide campaign: Hop Away Treats.
This campaign was more than just a product showcase — it was a heartfelt tribute to family, celebration, and the joyful moments that bring people together. With Jeremiah’s rapid expansion across the United States, this was a prime opportunity to create engaging, emotional content that connects with audiences on a deeper level while supporting long-term brand growth.
A Franchise Video Production with Purpose
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice isn’t your average dessert shop — it’s a fast-growing, family-friendly franchise with a cult following for its vibrant culture and crave-worthy frozen treats. When they launched their new Hop Away Treats (including Jelati Cakes, Ice Cream Sandwiches, and take-home Quarts), they needed a production partner who could not only highlight these products but also amplify the experience of enjoying them.
Enter Kyle Loftus Studios — a commercial video production company known for blending cinematic visuals with strategic brand messaging. Our bilingual, multicultural team brought a unique perspective to the creative process, ensuring the campaign would connect with diverse families across the U.S.
Our Approach: Creative Strategy Meets Cinematic Execution
From day one, our goal was clear: create emotionally compelling, visually dynamic content that makes families feel seen, celebrated, and connected to Jeremiah’s brand.
Concept Development
We worked closely with the Jeremiah’s marketing team to develop a creative concept centered around celebration and togetherness. We built scenes around familiar moments — birthdays, Mother’s Day, game nights, local team victories, and neighborhood potlucks — all brought to life with Jeremiah’s new frozen treats.
Scriptwriting & Pre-Production
We crafted two unique story scripts, each designed to resonate with a core family audience while also offering versatility in editing and delivery. From there, we storyboarded scenes, scouted talent, and created multiple opening hook variations tailored for A/B testing across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
Filming Technique
Our production leaned heavily on visual storytelling, using match cuts and dolly push-ins to transition seamlessly between scenes. This technique created a cohesive, immersive narrative across multiple spots. We shot on cinema-grade cameras, with a consistent lens package and lighting setup to ensure each scene flowed naturally into the next.
Diverse Casting & Authentic Performances
To enhance relatability, we cast real families, teen groups, and adults from a wide range of backgrounds. Our multicultural casting was intentional — it reflects both the Jeremiah’s brand and the communities they serve. Working with experienced talent helped us capture genuine reactions and interactions that feel unscripted and warm — something that resonates deeply in family-friendly advertising.
Deliverables: A Scalable Suite of Commercial Assets
After a full production day and a focused post-production process, we delivered a wide array of assets designed for multi-platform rollout, including:
One 45-second hero video (in 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 formats)
Three additional 30-second commercial videos, each with a unique focus and flow
A library of 15-second vertical product-focused videos (optimized for Reels & TikTok)
Hero visuals of the Jelati Cakes, Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Quarts
Seamless transitions between storytelling and product showcases
Static 4K beauty shots for web banners and social campaigns
These deliverables are not just content — they’re strategic tools built to increase engagement, drive product awareness, and support franchise marketing goals across national and local markets.
