AI Advertising Video Examples: 28 Ads From AI Companies

Introduction

An AI ad has to prove one thing at a time

Most AI ads look alike. A glowing brain. A network made of light. A voiceover that promises to transform how you work.

Then the ad ends. And your buyer still can't say what your product does on a Tuesday morning.

Your buyer already believes AI is powerful. That's not the doubt. The doubt is whether your AI does one useful thing for them, and whether they can prove it to their boss.

The short answer: the AI ads that work answer one buyer doubt each. Before Shot answers “do I have this problem?” by showing today's mess first. Simple Picture answers “what is it?” with one image the buyer already knows. Finished Job answers “does it work?” by showing the AI finish one real task. Named Result answers “will it pay off?” with a number or a customer name. The 28 AI promo video examples below all sell AI products, sorted by the doubt they answer.

AI Advertising Video examples

Move 1 · Before Shot

“Do I have this problem?” Show the mess before the AI.

Nobody shops for a dishwasher until they've stood at the sink for an hour. Your buyer's manual process is that sink. Until it's on screen, your AI fixes nothing they feel.

I call it the Before Shot: one scene of the work as it runs today, played before the AI appears. Seven examples.

Ceipal AI recruiting ad

Ceipal sells an AI recruiting platform. The ad opens on the mess of traditional hiring, then pulls every HR function into one place.

What works here:

  • The mess comes first. Scattered hiring tools funnel into one platform, and the on-screen text names the fix: no more hiring silos.
  • Then the AI does specific jobs: candidate ranking, analytics dashboards, automated scheduling and two-way email sync.
  • The promise stays narrow. Automate the high-volume tasks, as the video's own title puts it.

The move: Name the silo your buyer works around today, on screen, before the AI shows up. If your first frame could sell any AI tool, it's too vague.

Zoho CRM Plus overview video

Zoho CRM Plus is a unified customer experience platform. The video opens on one customer bouncing between touchpoints that don't connect.

What works here:

  • The mess has a face. One animated customer moves through marketing, sales and support, and nothing joins up.
  • The AI shows up as small, specific help. Zia suggests the “Best Time to Contact,” and social mentions become support tickets with sentiment analysis.
  • Dashboards close it, with deals, tickets and customer behavior in one view.

The move: Follow one of your buyer's customers through the broken process first. Then add your AI at the exact point where it breaks.

WalkMe X AI copilot ad

WalkMe X is a contextual AI copilot for enterprise apps. The ad opens on a split most companies know: a few experts get value from AI, and most employees feel overwhelmed.

What works here:

  • The problem isn't AI. It's prompting. The ad names the gap between the expert and everyone else.
  • The fix needs no prompt. In a simulated email screen, WalkMe X reads the context and suggests “next best actions.”
  • The promise fits in two words. Every employee becomes an “AI Pro,” from sales to support.

The move: If your buyer's problem is AI adoption, show the employee who's stuck, not the one who's thriving. Then remove their hardest step.

Tredence Sancus data quality explainer

Tredence's Sancus sells AI-driven data quality management. The explainer opens on the cost of bad data, which the video puts at $10 million a year.

What works here:

  • The cost comes first, as a number. The problem has a price before it has a fix.
  • Then the cleanup. Machine learning cleanses, deduplicates and harmonizes data, and a dashboard shows health scores and trends.
  • It names the stack it runs on, the Databricks Lakehouse, plus connections to ERP and CRM systems.

The move: Put a price on the mess before you show the cleanup. Then name one system your buyer already runs.

Amazon Connect voice agents ad

AWS sells Amazon Connect voice agents for customer service. The ad plays the same call twice: once with a typical bot, once with Amazon Connect.

What works here:

  • The bad version is funny because it's familiar. Nikki asks to reserve a pink tutu for her dog's birthday, and the bot changes her name to Park Road.
  • The good version already knows the item is in her cart. It reserves it at the 33 Park Road store and sends a confirmation text.
  • Then the handoff. Nikki asks for a person, and Diego in customer success picks up with the full context.

The move: Replay your buyer's worst support call, then the same call with your product. If the contrast needs a voiceover to explain it, the two scenes aren't different enough.

Capgemini Cloud Consumption On-Demand ad

Capgemini's Cloud Consumption On-Demand helps companies control spend on cloud, generative AI and Copilot services. The ad opens on one question: “What's the cost of a click?”

What works here:

  • The mess is invisible, so the ad makes it visible. Every employee is a potential buyer, and every click is a micro cost.
  • Generative AI raises the stakes. The voiceover warns that on-demand spending will skyrocket.
  • It closes where it opened: “Every click counts, so know the cost of a click.”

The move: If your buyer's problem hides in small actions, show one action and add up its cost. Then end on the image you opened with.

Tietoevry Health Data Platform video

Tietoevry's Health Data Platform helps health systems use the data they already hold. The video opens on the pressure: an aging population, demand for precision medicine and rising costs.

What works here:

  • Pressure comes first. Three forces every health leader recognizes arrive before the platform does.
  • Then the payoff for each user: faster medical research, better tools for clinicians and AI-supported decisions.
  • A 3D diagram stacks the layers one at a time: data ingestion, data lake storage, analytics and applications.

The move: Name the outside forces your buyer can't control. Your AI then answers pressure they already feel.

Move 2 · Simple Picture

“What is it, actually?” Give your AI one picture your buyer already knows.

Once they feel the problem, the next doubt arrives. What is this thing? Words like “orchestration” and “closed-loop” don't answer it.

Nobody understands a car's transmission. Everybody understands a gear shift. Your model is the transmission. Plain explanations are how non-technical buyers come to trust AI.

I call it the Simple Picture: one image or shape your buyer already knows, standing in for how your AI works. Seven examples.

Salesloft revenue orchestration explainer

Salesloft explains what a revenue orchestration platform is with one picture: an orchestra. Uncoordinated instruments become a symphony.

What works here:

  • Sound carries the idea. You hear the chaos of disconnected go-to-market teams before you see the fix.
  • Then the mechanics. Revenue data and buyer signals feed the AI, which turns millions of interactions into prioritized actions for sellers.
  • A flywheel closes it. Outcomes feed back into the model, so the advice keeps improving.

The move: If your category name confuses buyers, find one picture that explains the word. Salesloft's category says orchestration, so it shows an orchestra.

Salesforce Agentic Orchestration explainer

Salesforce explains agentic orchestration as a band. One AI agent is a solo musician. Many agents need a bandleader.

What works here:

  • The metaphor answers the obvious question: why not just add more agents? Without a leader, the voiceover says, “you get a disconnected racket.”
  • It stretches without breaking. Outside AI agents, like a supplier's, join as guest performers.
  • Trust gets its own title card. The Trust Boundary authenticates credentials before data is exchanged.

The move: Pick a metaphor that can carry your hardest objection, not just your headline. If it breaks at the security question, pick another.

Mercedes-Benz cars that learn ad

Mercedes-Benz Canada sells AI personalization in 15 seconds. Glowing data particles come together into the shape of the car.

What works here:

  • One image carries the claim. Data builds the car, so “cars that learn from you” needs no diagram.
  • The line is about the driver, not the model. “Learn from you” puts the buyer at the center.
  • At 15 seconds, there's no room for a feature list, and the ad doesn't try.

The move: Turn your AI's input into the visible material of your product. If the picture works with the sound off, it works in a feed.

Accenture generative AI ad

Accenture's 31-second ad sells generative AI services to financial institutions. Abstract 3D shapes morph from complex to simple as the voiceover explains what AI does with information.

What works here:

  • The picture is the promise. Tangled forms become clean ones, the way massive amounts of information become answers.
  • Three plain benefits: more efficient, wiser and faster. No model names and no jargon.
  • It ends on what the buyer gets next: new business opportunities.

The move: If you sell a service built on AI, show the shape of the change, not the technology. Complex to simple is a picture every executive reads.

Mercury Systems brand ad

Mercury Systems makes technology for AI, autonomy, cloud and space. Its 21-second ad moves from an astronaut's helmet display to a microchip on a fingertip to a digital city.

What works here:

  • Scale is the picture. Three shots, from space to a chip to a city, cover the whole range of the business.
  • The palette stays monochrome with blue-green digital overlays, so every shot looks like the same brand.
  • It closes on a tagline that doubles as the promise: “The Speed of Mercury.”

The move: If your AI runs at many scales, show the smallest and the largest in one cut. Let the viewer fill in the middle.

Ericsson AI service management explainer

Ericsson sells AI and generative AI for telecom operations software. In 51 seconds, it turns intent-driven, closed-loop service assurance into a loop you can watch.

What works here:

  • The loop is the picture. A “Cognitive loop” turns a continuous process into one shape the viewer can follow.
  • Short on-screen text carries the terms, so operators see the words they use at work.
  • It names the products behind it: Ericsson Service Orchestration and Assurance, and Ericsson Expert Analytics.

The move: If your AI runs a continuous process, draw it as a loop. Then name the product that runs each part.

SkyHive skills transformation video

SkyHive by Cornerstone sells AI for skills-based workforce planning. The video gives the buyer a three-part plan before it gives them a product.

What works here:

  • Three pillars shape the whole video: define your purpose, build a data-driven foundation, then embrace automation.
  • It borrows authority early, citing Deloitte data on why skills transformation matters.
  • The AI arrives in pillar two, translating jobs into skills with real-time labor market data.

The move: If your buyer needs a plan before a product, give them the plan in 3 steps. Put your AI inside one step, not on top of all three.

Move 3 · Finished Job

“Does it actually work?” Show the AI finish one real task.

Understanding it isn't believing it. Next they ask: is this a real product, or a concept video?

A cooking show doesn't describe the oven. It puts the finished dish on the table. Your AI's output is that dish. Most AI UI demo videos get this right, and most AI brand ads skip it.

I call it the Finished Job: one real task, from request to result, done by the AI on screen. Nine examples.

Google Lens 6-second ad

Google UK's Lens ad runs 6 seconds. Its title is the whole brief: find that thing.

What works here:

  • One task, no setup. Point the phone, and Lens identifies what's in front of you.
  • There's no explanation of how image recognition works. The result is the explanation.
  • Six seconds is the length of 6-second bumper ads, where one action is all there's room for.

The move: Cut your AI ad down to one request and one result. If it still makes sense in 6 seconds, your longer cuts will too.

ElevenLabs ElevenAgents ad

ElevenLabs sells ElevenAgents, a platform for building AI agents that talk to customers. The ad shows an agent finishing a job in its own words: “I've processed your refund.”

What works here:

  • The job is concrete. The agent adds, “The funds will arrive in 3 to 5 business days,” then confirms on WhatsApp.
  • The safety step comes before go-live: simulate real scenarios, then A/B test changes and track results.
  • The look is spare: near-white space, soft orbs and a short row of compliance badges like SOC 2 and GDPR.

The move: Show your AI's actual reply, word for word, at the moment it finishes a job. A finished sentence beats a feature name.

Microsoft Business Central agents ad

Microsoft's sizzle ad introduces two AI agents inside Dynamics 365 Business Central. Each one gets a job description, not a feature list.

What works here:

  • The Sales Order Agent's job fits in one line: orders come in, quotes go out, inventory is checked.
  • The Payables Agent reads vendor invoices, classifies invoice lines, assigns accounts and routes them for approval. Four verbs, one job.
  • Then it hands the buyer the tools: start building your own agents for your own workflows.

The move: Write your AI feature's job as the chain of verbs your buyer's team does today. If you can't list the verbs, the job isn't clear yet.

nCino Banking Advisor ad

nCino Banking Advisor is an AI assistant for bankers. The 41-second ad, titled Time Optimized, shows where a banker's time comes back.

What works here:

  • The AI answers a real banking question: a policy query about breached covenants.
  • Then the paperwork. Several financial documents upload at once, and a credit memo is generated automatically.
  • It catches a problem too, flagging a minimum liquidity covenant breach and explaining the RAROC analysis.

The move: Use the exact question your buyer types at work, jargon included. A banker trusts “breached covenants” more than “smart insights.”

Contlo AI marketing assistant ad

Contlo.ai sells an AI marketing assistant. The ad starts with an overwhelmed business owner, then hands the work to a chat box.

What works here:

  • Every job starts as a typed request. Segments, email campaigns and multi-step customer flows get built from plain language.
  • Creative comes from the same box: ad copy and social creatives.
  • Results come back as chat replies, not a dashboard to dig through.

The move: Show the request and the result in the same frame. If the viewer needs a cut to connect them, the job looks harder than it is.

Vendasta AI social calendar tutorial

Vendasta's tutorial shows marketing agencies how to build a social media calendar with AI in Social Marketing Pro. It's a how-to, and it sells by teaching.

What works here:

  • One prompt makes up to five posts, each with text and an image from Pixabay.
  • Each network gets its own version, with wording and calls to action tuned for LinkedIn or Facebook.
  • The workflow has three named steps: Create, Select, Save.

The move: Name your AI workflow's steps in 3 words your buyer can remember. Then show each step once.

SundaySky AI video platform ad

SundaySky sells an AI video platform for business teams. The ad shows its AI Copilot turning a short text prompt into a full video brief.

What works here:

  • The first job is the hardest one: starting. Copilot writes the brief from a prompt.
  • Personalization uses real fields: a viewer's name, an enrollment date, a product detail.
  • Then the toolkit: screen recording, AI media generation, text-to-speech voices and custom avatars.

The move: Show the blank-page moment your AI removes. The first step is usually where your buyer gives up.

OntargIT Dynamics 365 Customer Insights ad

OntargIT's ad covers Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, powered by Microsoft Copilot. Scattered customer data becomes one profile, and then the profile goes to work.

What works here:

  • Questions go in as plain language, and answers come back about customer behavior.
  • Copilot builds the campaign: audience segments, content and a flow from abandoned cart to follow-up email.
  • Each team gets one use: lead scores for sales, churn risk for service agents.

The move: Give each team in the buying committee one task the AI does for them. Sales, marketing and service each need their own scene.

ClickUp AI customer service guide

ClickUp's video is a guide, not a classic ad: 8 steps for using AI in customer service without losing the human touch. It sells the platform by teaching the job it supports.

What works here:

  • The title names the fear first: losing the human touch.
  • The AI jobs are specific: organizing data, reading sentiment and filling templates.
  • The benefits are ones a support lead tracks: shorter wait times and more personal replies.

The move: If your buyer worries AI will make them sound robotic, put that fear in your title. Then teach the job step by step.

Move 4 · Named Result

“Will it pay off?” Put a result on screen your buyer can check.

Working isn't the same as paying off. The last doubt belongs to the person who signs the contract.

A review with a star rating beats one that just says “great food.” Your buyer's CFO reads the stars. I call it the Named Result: a number, a date or a customer name your buyer can check. It's the move behind most AI case study videos. Five examples.

Deel Akai intro video

Deel's COO introduces Akai, the AI agent platform Deel built for itself. The proof is Deel's own operations.

What works here:

  • It opens on a wall every operator has hit: “You automate a few steps, then you hit a wall.”
  • Then the receipts: over 91,000 hours saved, and reconciliation that took 20-plus days now done in minutes.
  • The control line comes early. Akai scales “always with humans in the loop.”

The move: If you run your own AI internally, lead with your own numbers. You're the first customer, and the most believable one.

Databricks AI agents for financial services

Databricks sells AI agents to financial services firms through Agent Bricks. The ad stacks three client results, each with its own numbers.

What works here:

  • Investment research: time cut from 8 hours to 15 minutes, and over $250 million in value.
  • Compliance: 98% saved in legacy costs and a 30% improvement in suspicious transaction detection across 13 markets.
  • Personalization: an app for 39 million customers, with a 6% increase in clicks and a 30% increase in conversion.

The move: Give each use case its own number, in the order your buyer cares about. Three results with numbers beat ten without.

UOB AI portfolio model video

UOB's video explains the AI model the bank uses for portfolio optimization. It's a bank showing its own AI at work, with results from 2023.

What works here:

  • The old way is named: subjective asset allocation. The new way balances return on risk-weighted assets against revenue growth.
  • The result is specific: revenue up over 5% and a 3 basis point improvement in RoRWA in 2023.
  • Scale comes last. The model proved itself in UOB Singapore and is rolling out across the region.

The move: Put your result next to the year it happened. A dated number reads like a record, not a forecast.

GoAigua smart water video

GoAigua, from Idrica, sells an AI platform for water utilities. Data overlays sit on top of real water infrastructure.

What works here:

  • Overlays tie the data to the place. SCADA flows and smart meter readings appear over the network they measure.
  • The video gives three results: 40% less non-revenue water, 20% better operational efficiency and 60% higher customer satisfaction.
  • Heritage backs the AI: 130 years of experience from Global Omnium.

The move: Pair every result with the place it happens. A number over a real pipe is harder to doubt than a number on a slide.

NVIDIA Omniverse enterprise video

NVIDIA's video lets customers make the case. Leaders from Lowe's, JLR, Siemens and Amazon Robotics explain what they built on NVIDIA's AI and Omniverse platform.

What works here:

  • Named customers carry the proof. Each one talks about their own operation, from retail store layouts to supply chains.
  • Digital twins show the work: cities designed with Cesium, ships assembled virtually with Siemens.
  • The range is the point. Retail, cars, robotics and drug discovery sit in one video.

The move: If you can't publish a number, publish a name. A customer leader explaining their own result is the next best proof.

Pick your move

Which doubt does your AI ad answer?

The short answer: ask one question. What does your buyer still doubt: the problem, the product, the proof it works or the payoff? The answer picks the move. One doubt per ad. If two doubts are loud, cut two short ads instead of one long one.

If your buyer asksUseDo thisExample to copy
“Do I have this problem?”Before ShotOne scene of today's work, before the AI appearsAmazon Connect
“What is it, actually?”Simple PictureOne familiar image for how the AI worksSalesforce
“Does it actually work?”Finished JobOne request, one result, on screenBusiness Central
“Will it pay off?”Named ResultA number, date or customer name they can checkDeel

Now go back to the glowing brain and the network made of light. They answer none of the four doubts. They tell your buyer AI is powerful, which your buyer already believes.

The move: ask your last 5 lost deals what they doubted about your AI: the problem, the product, the proof or the payoff. Build your next ad around the most common answer.

An ad about AI proves the category exists. An ad about one finished job proves your product belongs in it.

FAQ

AI Advertising Video Examples FAQ

What is an AI advertising video?
An AI advertising video is an ad for a product that uses AI: a copilot, an agent, a model or an AI feature. It's different from an ad made with AI tools. The 28 examples on this page all sell AI products, from Ceipal's recruiting platform to Databricks' AI agents for financial services.
What's the difference between an ad for an AI product and an ad made with AI?
An ad for an AI product sells software that uses AI. An ad made with AI uses generative tools to produce the visuals or the voice. A brand can do both, but the buyer only cares about the first: what your AI does for them. This page covers ads for AI products.
How long should an AI advertising video be?
19 of the 28 ads on this page run under 2 minutes. The shortest is Google Lens at 0:06, and Mercedes-Benz sells AI personalization in 0:15. The longest are how-to videos, like ClickUp's guide at 3:28, because teaching a job takes time. Match the length to the one doubt you're answering.
Should an AI ad show the product interface?
Show it when the doubt is “does it work?” The Finished Job ads, like nCino and Contlo, put the request and the result on screen. Skip it when the doubt is “what is it?” Salesforce explains agent orchestration with a band and never needs a screen.
How do you advertise an AI product that has no interface?
Give it a picture or a shape. Ericsson draws its service management AI as a loop. Accenture morphs complex 3D forms into simple ones. Mercury Systems cuts from a helmet display to a microchip to a city. For more ways to show what can't be seen, see these AI product animation examples.
How do you make an AI ad that doesn't look like every other AI ad?
Show the job, not the AI. Glowing brains and light networks could belong to any company. A reply like ElevenLabs' “I've processed your refund” could only belong to a product that works. Then use words your buyer uses at work, the way nCino says “breached covenants.”
Should an AI ad lead with the AI or with the problem?
Lead with the problem if your buyer doesn't feel it yet. Amazon Connect plays a bad bot call before its own agent appears. Capgemini opens on “What's the cost of a click?” If your buyer already feels the problem, open on the AI finishing the task instead.
How do you handle fear of AI in an ad?
Show where the human stays in control. Amazon Connect hands Nikki to a person, Diego, with the full context. Deel says Akai runs “always with humans in the loop.” Salesforce gives its Trust Boundary its own title card. One clear line on control answers the fear without making it the whole ad.
Do customer results belong in an AI ad?
Yes, when they're specific. Databricks gives each client result its own number. NVIDIA lets customer leaders from Lowe's, JLR and Siemens speak for themselves. For longer formats built on proof, see these AI testimonial videos.
Should an AI ad use a voiceover?
Usually, if the ad has to explain a job. Microsoft's Business Central ad uses a voiceover to walk through each agent's tasks. Very short ads can skip it. Google Lens makes its point in 6 seconds with one action. Add captions either way, because many feeds play on mute.
How do you measure whether an AI ad works?
Pick the goal first: demo requests, trial sign-ups or awareness. Track clicks on the call to action against that goal. Then check watch time and where viewers drop off. Run A/B tests on two openings, such as a Before Shot against a Finished Job, with the same audience.
What call to action fits an AI ad?
Ask for the one thing the ad was made to get. ElevenLabs invites buyers to start building their own agents. Amazon Connect ends on “Get started today.” Microsoft asks whether the viewer is ready to build. Keep it to one call to action, phrased as an action.

Patterns from the analysis

AI Advertising Video Best Practices

Seven of the ads above were broken down from their full transcripts: Microsoft Business Central, Databricks, Amazon Connect, ElevenLabs, Deel, Salesforce and Capgemini. Five patterns showed up. Seven is a small sample, so read each count as what these seven did, not as market data.

Problem Open

Should an AI ad open on the problem or the product?

Observation
Databricks opens on firms with more customer requests than people or time. Amazon Connect opens on AI that pushes customers off the phone. Deel opens on automation that hits a wall. Salesforce opens on agents out of sync. Capgemini opens on the cost of a click. Microsoft and ElevenLabs open on the product's promise instead.
Data
5 of 7 opened on the buyer's problem. 2 of 7 opened on the product.
The move
If your buyer doesn't feel the problem yet, open on it in their words. If they do, open on the AI at work.
Named Task

How specific should the task in an AI ad be?

Observation
Microsoft's Payables Agent reads invoices, classifies lines, assigns accounts and routes approvals. ElevenLabs processes a refund. Amazon Connect reserves a pink tutu at the Park Road store. Deel turns 20-plus days of reconciliation into minutes. Databricks names three client jobs. Salesforce and Capgemini stay at the concept level.
Data
5 of 7 showed a specific task the AI completes.
The move
Name one task your buyer's team does every week. Then show your AI finishing it.
Control Line

Should an AI ad say who stays in control?

Observation
Deel keeps “humans in the loop.” Amazon Connect hands the caller to a person with full context. ElevenLabs simulates scenarios before go-live. Salesforce authenticates credentials at a trust boundary. Databricks names access controls, auditing and monitoring. Microsoft promises security, transparency and configurability. Capgemini talks about control of AI spend, not of the AI itself.
Data
6 of 7 said how the AI stays under control.
The move
Give control one clear line or one scene. A handoff to a person is the easiest one to show.
Build Invite

Should an AI ad invite buyers to build their own agents?

Observation
Microsoft says you can start building your own agents today. ElevenLabs lets you build agents by writing in natural language. Deel says every team now creates agents with no tech support. Databricks shows firms building and deploying their own agents. Salesforce goes the other way: you don't have to train its orchestrator yourself.
Data
4 of 7 invited the buyer to build. 1 of 7 sold the opposite, ready out of the box.
The move
Decide which fear your buyer has: a poor fit with their work, or too much work to set up. Invite building for the first. Sell ready-made for the second.
Result Count

Should an AI ad put results in numbers?

Observation
Databricks gives each client result a number, from 8 hours to 15 minutes. Deel counts over 91,000 hours saved. The other five describe benefits without a figure, such as Microsoft's “Scale up. Do more.”
Data
2 of 7 put business results in numbers.
The move
Find one result your buyer can check, and put it on screen. If you can't share a client number, share your own.

How to plan

Where to use your AI advertising video

Put each ad where its doubt shows up. That one rule decides most placements, the same as for any software advertising video.

  • Paid social and pre-roll. Short Before Shot or Simple Picture cuts, built to work on mute.
  • Landing pages. A Finished Job ad above the fold, so the buyer sees the AI work before booking a call.
  • Sales follow-ups. A Named Result ad for the buyer who has to defend the spend.
  • Product pages for one AI feature. One task, start to finish, in under 2 minutes.

How do you script an AI ad?

Eight decisions, in order. Each one narrows the next.

  • Buyer. Who signs, and who uses it. They may doubt different things.
  • Doubt. The one question this ad answers.
  • Move. Before Shot, Simple Picture, Finished Job or Named Result.
  • Task or picture. The one job the AI finishes, or the one image that explains it.
  • Words. Your buyer's work words, not model names. “Breached covenants,” not “intelligent insights.”
  • Control line. One sentence or scene on where the human stays in charge.
  • Last line. Write it first. Then the first line. Then the middle.
  • Ask. One call to action that matches the ad's goal.

AI ad production process

Every AI ad runs through the same three stages. Knowing them keeps a project from drifting.

  • Pre-production. Set the buyer, the doubt and the move. Then the script, the storyboard, the budget and the timeline.
  • Production. Design and animate the interface or the picture. Record real product screens where the job has to look real. Record the voiceover.
  • Post-production. Edit, add motion and sound, get feedback in one round, then cut a version for each platform.
