30 hooks that stop the scroll.
The first three seconds decide whether your ad gets watched or swiped past. These are 30 opening lines from the hook bank we write our own video ads against — sorted by niche, free to take and adapt. No email, no download gate.
How to use one
- Pick the line closest to your product's real benefit.
- Swap in your specifics — the product, the timeframe, the actual result.
- Say it in the first 3 seconds, on camera or voiceover, while the product is already visible.
- Cut the setup. If the hook isn't the first thing heard, it isn't a hook.

Kids & Baby

Want every hook we own for your niche?
These are three per category. The pages below carry the complete set for that niche — every line we've written for it, same rules, still free.
Rather have the whole script?
A hook is the first three seconds. Our free ad script builder takes one of these lines and adds the rest — a shot-by-shot outline for a ten-second vertical ad and a paste-ready prompt for whichever AI video tool you use. Runs entirely in your browser, nothing to sign up for.
In Arabic — بالعربية
Every one of these libraries is also published in Arabic, written for Gulf brands rather than translated word-for-word.
Use these honestly
These are scripted ad openers — the same way any commercial is scripted. They are written to be adapted to something true about your product, not to invent something that isn't.
Keep them clean: don't bolt on fabricated numbers, invented review counts, fake scarcity, or results you can't stand behind. A hook earns the next three seconds. Your product has to earn the rest. That's the same rule we hold ourselves to — every frame we deliver is AI-generated and disclosed as such.
