YouTube Pre-Roll Ad Script (15 & 30 Second)

Create skippable YouTube pre-roll ad scripts that hook viewers in the first 5 seconds and convert before they hit skip.

The Prompt

Write YouTube pre-roll ad scripts for this product/service:

Product: [describe]
Audience: [describe target viewer]
Goal: [awareness / lead gen / direct sale]
Key benefit: [single most compelling benefit]
URL/CTA: [landing page or action]

Create:
1. A 15-second non-skippable script (must hook immediately, deliver one punch)
2. A 30-second skippable script structured as:
   - Seconds 0–5: Hook so strong they don't skip (question, bold claim, or visual curiosity gap)
   - Seconds 6–20: Problem + solution with one compelling proof point
   - Seconds 21–30: CTA with urgency

Label each second range. Keep language direct and conversational.

Tips for Best Results

  • The first 5 seconds determine everything — test multiple hooks
  • Say your brand name and URL early in case they skip after 5 seconds
  • Use pattern interrupts: unusual visuals, sounds, or statements
