PETER QUINN LEADS META'S REELS 'SUPERCHARGER' WORKSHOP WITH ADWEEK

In an interview moderated by Meta’s creative strategist, Brittany Johnson, Peter talked career highlights, finding inspiration, and gave businesses advice on how to “attract eyeballs in this attention economy” on their reels.

Peter continues, “I like to picture the human on the other end of the reel. When I’m putting something together, I’m aware people want to scroll. I want to get ahead of that moment where they think ‘okay, now I’m leaving this.’ I like to include a rhythm of something weird to keep them watching. I pay them for their attention, and the currency is something weird.”

Included in the workshop were five custom reels Peter created to showcase how advertisers can optimize their ads. In them, he demonstrated how to turn poorly executed reels into brilliant ones in three different spots: ‘shooting vertical video,’ ‘with sound on,’ and ‘safe-zone.’

“We wanted to keep creativity at the heart of the campaign, making it thumb-stopping while still feeling native,” explains Analog Folk’s case study. “So we worked with Peter, who brought his quirky, fun and playful techniques to the campaign—making the work feel authentically Reels.”
