The first 3 seconds of a video ad or the primary visual/headline of a static ad that determines whether a viewer stops scrolling to engage with the rest of the content.
The hook is 80% of ad performance — a mediocre offer with a great hook will always outperform a great offer with a boring hook. Proven D2C hook frameworks: bold problem statement ("Struggling with acne after 30?"), surprising visual (unexpected product use), strong pattern interrupt (uncommon color, motion, format), direct benefit claim ("Lose 10lbs in 4 weeks"), and social proof opener ("10,000 customers swear by this"). Test hooks independently by keeping the rest of the ad identical.
