Script From Hooks

Build modular ad scripts from winning hooks.

Process

Step 1: Analyze Winning Hooks

For each hook: psychological trigger used, expectation set, emotional state created, promise implied.

Step 2: Select Body Framework

TESTIMONIAL BODY

• Unique mechanism explanation

SOCIAL PROOF BODY

• Results compilation
• Authority endorsements

DEMONSTRATION BODY

• Product in action
• Visual proof of claims
• Side-by-side comparison

LISTICLE BODY

• 3-5 benefits/reasons

Step 3: Add B-Roll Suggestions

For each section: visuals needed, stock footage keywords, AI generation prompts, product shots, UGC clips.

Key Frameworks

Trojan Horse (LeadsIcon)

1. Hook with attention (not product)
2. Build belief through story/proof
3. Product reveal comes LAST
4. CTA is reminder, not hard sell

Problem-Mechanism-Proof

1. Agitate problem (hook)
2. Explain unique mechanism
3. Provide proof/testimonials
4. Clear call to action

Authenticity Rules (LeadsIcon)

• Never script reactions - capture real ones
• Polish kills performance
• Shot on phone > shot on camera
• If it looks like an ad, it fails
