The full prompt

Write a YouTube pre-roll ad script (15 seconds, skippable after 5) for [product_or_service]. CRITICAL: The first 5 seconds must deliver value AND hook — assume most viewers will skip after 5 seconds. Structure: 0-5s: Hook + brand mention + key promise. 5-10s: Expand on the value/problem-solution. 10-15s: CTA + offer. Include: voiceover script with exact timing, on-screen text suggestions, and visual direction. Target audience: [audience]. Key benefit: [benefit]. Tone: [tone]. Offer: [offer].

Copy it anywhere, or open it in Nimply where each highlighted variable becomes a form field and the output lands as a draft in your planner.

Craft notes

Getting the most from ad copy templates

  • Write five hooks, keep one. The templates that generate multiple variants exist because first drafts of ads are almost never the winner.
  • Name the audience inside the copy — an ad that could address anyone stops no one.
  • One offer per ad. Stacked offers read as noise and depress every metric.
  • Keep the claim inside what you can prove; ad platforms and customers both punish overreach.
