Four steps

How to use it.

  1. Fill in the creator brief before you contact a creator. If a field is blank, the ad isn’t ready.
  2. Pick one script for one angle, and ask for three hooks on it.
  3. Launch the three hooks on the same body and judge them on cost per purchase.
  4. Keep the winning hook, then test a second body behind it.
Why we made it

Most creator videos fail in the brief, not the edit: nobody wrote down who the ad is for, what problem it solves or what proof it can show. These scripts start there.

Each script is timed in beats, so a creator knows what to film and an editor knows what to cut. The hook bank sits at the end because the first three seconds are what you test most.
