The Helado world · yaaarn client · launch, then retainer

Built from zero to launch.

Helado is protein ice cream: 3x the protein, no sad scoops. yaaarn took it from nothing to a launch film and a social system that keeps shipping, and the work is still running as an ongoing retainer. This page leads with the creative itself.

01 · The grid

The feed is the portfolio.

Nine shipped tiles from the Helado social system. Tap a tile and the concept behind it opens large: the name is the line that ran on the post.

02 · The concepts

Ideas with tension, not category cliches.

The platform underneath the feed: the treat arrives already earned. Every concept inverts a category code: where healthy treats show the gym, Helado shows the couch, the court and the kitchen.

The treat you remember before you think. The truck chime, the corner store run: nostalgia carried by a cup that happens to be good for you.

A scoop is sad when you have to earn it. Helado refuses the apology the whole category makes: the protein is the proof, not the pitch.

Protein that reads kitchen, not gym. The cup sits on the bench where the shaker used to, and nobody has to pretend it is a milestone.

03 · The launch film

One film to open the doors.

The final client cut that launched the brand: built in the yaaarn video rig, gated frame by frame, shipped once it was right.

04 · The system

The cup is sacred.

Behind the feed sits a pipeline that keeps the product honest. Drafts get rejected before a human ever reviews them: this pair is real.

A rejected draft: a domed ball scoop instead of the real flat swirl Rejected draft · a domed scoop, never the real swirl
The shipped frame: the real cup handed over at golden hour Shipped · the real cup, the real light

Every generated frame passes an OCR spelling gate and cup-proportion checks before a human ever reviews it. And the cup is never generated from text: the real cutout anchors every image, so the label always reads Helado.

05 · See it live

Launched, and still churning.
