A system in place that actually helps you manage creative ideas, swipe files and your brand guidelines.
Here’s how I built one on @NotionHQ that does EXACTLY that:
@NotionHQ #1 Ad Copy Swipe file - Take screenshots of both short, medium and long form copy of brands that have great examples of well written ad copy.
You want to try and continuously update this page with new copy.
@NotionHQ #2 Creator Script Planner - Creative directions for creators.
Provide your creators a brief script they can follow and the keywords they need to ideally mention.
@NotionHQ #3 Customer Avatar - Before any great ad is created you want to know who you are talking to.
I’ve written down a series of questions you should ideally ask your customers or know about your customers before creating ads for them.
@NotionHQ#3a Find out more about who they are → Create great ads that speak to them
@NotionHQ #4 Creative Brief Examples - Walk through some of our examples we use when it comes to creator briefs.
This template will help guide you in creating a script for your content creators and also some examples of some hooks that we constantly like to test.
We’ve tested over 50 different ad hooks in the last month.
Here’s 7 of the top performers we’ve seen across accounts:
Before getting into this quick shoutout to @michaelgrowth for the free hooks template he’s provided. We were able to get some inspiration from his sheet which I will share below.
@michaelgrowth Hook #1: Here’s my secret to my (routine)
Even though this has been overused a lot it’s a hook that’s constantly provided the educational route for our current clients and has had the highest hook rate out of all videos.
A good creative strategy is important to every DTC brand out there.
But where do you start?
Here’s our process on how we create a creative sprint and our strategy behind understanding your audience 👇🏽🧵
1) Understand your customers.
Go through your reviews, everywhere from amazon to shopify and copy them all into a text file. You want to collect both positive and negative reviews and seperate them in word cloud.
Find keywords that are used across these customers.
2) Peak into your competitor reviews.
Look for negative reviews. See what people DON’T LIKE and how you can better your product to your customers.
