Performance Creative Handbook: Hooks, Proof and Demos
Performance Creative Handbook
Performance comes from structure and proof, not from vibes. This handbook turns creative into a repeatable engine.
Blueprint
- 0–2s hook: problem or promise anchored in outcome.
- 3–7s social proof: quote, rating, stat.
- 8–15s demo: show, don’t tell.
- 15–25s CTA: one offer, one step.
Testing matrix
3 hooks × 2 offers × 3 routes (facecam, screen, UGC). Cull fast, scale winners for 7–14 days.
Asset system
Keep raw footage and captions in a shared library. Recut near-winners weekly.
QA checklist
- Legible subtitles on mobile.
- Logo/brand motion within first 5s.
- Proof above the fold on LP.
