Creative strategy

Start with one action

Before writing a script, decide what the viewer should do next. A product ad might lead to a collection; a service ad might lead to an enquiry. A clear destination makes it easier to choose the message and the call to action.

Lead with the customer’s situation

Open with something the audience recognises: a routine, a problem, or a product in use. Then explain one benefit in language a customer would use. Avoid trying to fit every feature into a short video.

Make the offer and destination agree

An ad that promises a specific service should land on a page that explains that service. Use the same offer, visual language, and next step. This helps the viewer carry their interest through to the website.

Test a useful difference

Compare different opening moments, benefits, or calls to action. Change one major idea at a time so the result is easier to interpret. Keep the version that helps the business goal, rather than the one that only attracts views.

See the idea in practice.
