Hook template

Steal this for your own video

We've got a problem: everybody knows us for [what you're known for], but nobody knows we [the overlooked thing you also do].

  • — We've got a problem: everybody knows us for our sourdough, but nobody knows we make wedding cakes.
  • — We've got a problem: everybody knows us for fixing phones, but nobody knows we repair vintage record players.
  • — We've got a problem: everybody knows me for my marathon content, but nobody knows I also coach powerlifting.

Hook and payoff

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back

Hook

A direct, intriguing statement of a "problem" delivered by a compelling character to create immediate curiosity.

Payoff

A clear, low-friction call to action that tells the viewer the single, simple step they need to take to participate.

[08]

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Relay Race Reveal

A multi-speaker, fast-paced narrative that presents a marketing "problem" (a lack of audience awareness about a key product/service) and solves it with a high-value, surprising giveaway, driving viewers to a specific call to action.

  1. 1

    The Problem Hook

    A character directly addresses the camera and states a problem, immediately engaging the viewer and posing a question that needs an answer.

  2. 2

    The Common Ground

    A second character acknowledges what the audience already knows about the brand or topic, establishing a shared context and reinforcing existing brand identity.

  3. 3

    The Pivot

    The narrative dismisses the 'common ground' information as already known, signaling to the viewer that new, more important information is about to be revealed.

  4. 4

    The Awareness Gap

    A third character reframes the initial 'problem' as a lack of audience awareness about a specific, under-promoted product, service, or fact, creating an information gap.

  5. 5

    The Grand Solution

    The narrative introduces a major initiative (e.g., a contest, a launch) as the direct solution to the awareness gap.

  6. 6

    The Shocking Prize

    The specific, high-impact, and surprising reward of the initiative is revealed, providing the video's core spectacle and value proposition.

  7. 7

    The Strategic Justification

    The narrative explicitly connects the grand solution and shocking prize back to the original awareness gap, explaining the business goal behind the giveaway.
