Standout Features:

The Lead Wolf ensured that this unique brand identity (improve your brand identity with this article) didn't go unseen in their marketing video for Barrio's Dona.
The video starts with a black-and-white, old-school way of getting donuts. We see a man with a mustache with a huge bin full of donuts balanced on his head, resembling a giant sombrero. He's driving his bicycle on the street, stopping to serve a single donut to a lady on the sidewalk. The view is accompanied by a presumably Mexican uplifting tune.
A young lady on a rollerblade, carrying Barrio's Dona donut box, enters the frame as he drives away. Then, the video switches to a full-colored view with a modern song. The video ends with them enjoying donuts together in one of Barrio's Dona donut shops, enjoying the new ways of old habits.
