Hooks and scripts: the first three seconds

How to write an opening that stops the scroll and a script that keeps people watching.

5 min read

The hook

Open with the result, a question or a problem viewers know. Don't open with a greeting or the brand name.

A simple structure

Hook, problem, the product as the fix, quick proof, clear call to action. Keep most ads between 15 and 30 seconds.

Versions for testing

Write three different openings for the same video. Brands test them and keep the winner, which makes your work worth more.
