  3. Agitate the Problem
  4. Provide the Solution
  5. Establish Authority
  6. New Opportunity
  7. Call to Action

Optional Sections (Recommended but Flexible)

Additional Notes

The more sections you include and seamlessly integrate, the better your chances for success.

Pattern interrupt

This needs to be both visual and audible. We want to keep them from clicking the “Skip Now” button. We only have 5 seconds to stop them.

What’s in it for them

We’re telling them why they should watch this video and what benefit they will get out of it.

Agitate the problem

Humans are emotional creatures. We need to poke their pain points and agitate their problems that our product solves.

Provide the solution

Establish authority

This is often infused in the other points, such as mentioning individuals with credibility like a doctor, scientist, or researcher. Write your ad copy as if you’re an authority on the subject.

New opportunity

Value perception

Social proof

Include short testimonials here or leave this out if you’ve already incorporated social proof.

Urgency

Call to action
