If there's one thing technology should be good for, it's helping us out with the little everyday things.
Unfortunately, if you're a small-business owner, the sheer number of little things that need addressing is so vast that it can become overwhelming, which is the lovely insight Quality Meats unpacks in its debut campaign for Justworks.
Directed by Drool Productions founder Freddie Powell, You Don’t Have To Worry When It Justworks merges the witty, handmade filmmaking he's famous for with the wry comedy of the QM crew to create a relatable yet fantastical journey through all the issues the brand hopes to solve.
“I was hell-bent on making these worlds feel real, not contrived," explains Powell. "The underlying ideas may be fantastical conceits, but you layer them with love and craft and they begin to feel tangible.
"Even the puppet, we made him real, in a real space, with old-fashioned stop-frame animation. It all comes from a human place.”
“As founders of an independent small agency, we’ve personally felt the constant stress, the worry, the uncertainty that comes with running a small business,” says Brian Siedband, Co-founder and Co-CCO at Quality Meats. “And we also personally experienced the relief of working with Justworks, it saved us at a time when we needed to focus on growing but had no idea how to manage it all.
"We still don’t fully understand exactly what ‘compliance’ means.”
