What is the Reaction Video ad format?

Someone discovers your product for the first time on camera and lets their genuine surprise show — wide eyes at a color payoff, an immediate "wow" when they feel the texture, or two friends trading sips in a parked car to see which flavor wins. The magic is in that unscripted moment of delight or confusion, shot with natural light and minimal editing so it feels like you're watching a friend's story, not a polished commercial. It works beautifully when the product has an immediate, visible, or visceral effect that speaks louder than any script could.
