DO NOT begin them with...
🔹 Slow intros, logos, or generic B-roll
🔹 Vague narration with no emotional or strategic hook
🔹 Overly polished but under-relevant visuals
The micro ad I created for Castleview here does the opposite of the above list. I personally really enjoy creating ads that HIT in under 15s. It's challenging! Let me know if you want some of these for your brand, too!
