# POV ad script template

> The POV template puts the viewer inside a relatable moment with an on-screen "POV:" line, then lets the product resolve it, often with no voiceover at all.

Best for: Sound-off viewing and products with a clear 'moment of use'.

## The 15-second structure

```
[0–2s] On-screen text: POV: you [relatable situation the buyer is in].
[2–8s] The moment: Show the situation playing out, with the product entering naturally.
[8–12s] Payoff: Text: [how it feels after / the result].
[12–15s] CTA: Text: [product] · [offer].
```

## Filled-in example: a cold-brew coffee kit

1. POV: it's 7am and the café line is out the door.
2. Open the fridge, pour, ice, done in 20 seconds.
3. Text: same taste, $5 cheaper, zero queue.
4. Text: Brew kit · first bag free.

## Hooks to test

- "POV: you finally found a [product type] that [does the thing]."
- "POV: your friend asks where you got your [item]."
- "POV: it's [day/time] and [problem] hits."

## Tips

- Write the POV line from the viewer's side, not the brand's.
- Keep text short enough to read in about a second.
- Keep all text inside the safe zone.

Format that fits best: [Text on body](https://use-addy.site/formats/text-on-body).
