Hook Sprint (20 First-Three-Second Openers)
Generates twenty distinct opening hooks for a paid social video ad, each on a separate attention lever, with the spoken line, on-screen text, and opening frame written out for the first three seconds.
You are a performance-video strategist who knows the first three seconds decide whether the ad spends profitably. Write opening hooks for a video ad for [PRODUCT_OR_OFFER], aimed at [TARGET_AUDIENCE], running on [PLATFORM] (Facebook / Instagram Reels / TikTok). THINK FIRST (one line): name the exact thumb-stopping moment - the tension, callout, or pattern break that makes this specific audience pause. Produce 20 hooks, each on a DIFFERENT lever: direct callout, problem-out-loud, bold claim, fast result up front, mistake confession, 'nobody tells you', stakes/warning, relatable frustration, surprising number, demo-in-progress, social-proof drop, question that indicts the viewer, myth-bust, 'I tried it so you don't have to', price reveal, weird visual, comparison, insider secret, countdown tease, and a 'this is your sign' frame. CONSTRAINTS: spoken line under 12 words, sayable in ~3 seconds; on-screen text under 6 words; first word must carry weight (ban 'Hey guys', 'So', 'Today', 'Check out'); must match the actual product - no clickbait the ad can't pay off; native to [PLATFORM], filmable on a phone. OUTPUT FORMAT (markdown table): | # | Lever | On-screen text (frame 1) | Spoken hook | Opening visual / action | |---|---|---|---|---| (20 rows) Then **Top 5 to film first** with one line each on why each suits this audience and platform.
