SPOKANE VALLEY, WA, October 1, 2013 – – Despite their simple and consumer friendly business model, Zaycon Foods knew that some habitual retail consumers would still need their unique service (bringing farm fresh meats direct to consumers at wholesale prices) described in a bit more detail.

Zaycon decided to craft an explainer video that would creatively combine graphics, pictures and narration to briefly and definitively tell their service’s story. The key to the video’s success would be to match Zaycon’s creative visuals and clever script with the right friendly, comfortable voice. Choosing Peter K. O’Connell as their friendly, everyman narrator, Zaycon Foods has crafted a popular web-based video production that has succinctly and successfully told their story to a national audience via social media.

Here’s a look at the Zaycon Foods Explainer Video, narrated by Peter K. O’Connell:

Based on the success and style of the explainer video, Zaycon Foods later secured O’Connell as their brand’s voice for a national TV network commercial, which will be seen across the United States.

Here’s a look at the Zaycon Foods National TV Commercial, with voice-over by Peter K. O’Connell:
