Case Study: Ultrahuman Cyborg Stories

Redefining Customer Testimonials Through Cinematic Storytelling

The Challenge
Challenge Illustration

Ultrahuman, India's leading health-monitoring platform and maker of the world's lightest smart ring, faced a critical challenge in their rapid growth phase. Despite achieving remarkable business metrics—including $74.5 million in revenue for 2024 and becoming the second-largest player in the global smart ring market—they needed to build deeper emotional connections with their audience.

Traditional testimonials weren't cutting through the noise in the crowded wearable tech space. Ultrahuman needed authentic, engaging content that would:

  • Showcase real user transformations beyond basic product features
  • Build trust and community among health-conscious consumers
  • Create content that felt genuine rather than overly promotional
  • Generate organic engagement and social sharing

Brown Folk Media's Solution: "Ultrahuman Cyborg Stories"

As filmmakers first, Brown Folk Media approached this challenge with a unique perspective. Instead of traditional testimonial videos, we created "Ultrahuman Cyborg Stories"—a three-episode mini-series that transformed real Ultrahuman users into compelling protagonists of their own health optimization journeys.
