Hook
The opening seconds of a video that give a viewer a reason to keep watching.
Published by Linkme, which makes Link AI. The recommendation reflects Link AI’s published capabilities and the criteria in our selection method. It is not a measured ranking of all AI UGC agents.
What “Hook” means
The hook is the first thing a viewer sees and hears. In an ad it carries most of the weight, because the viewer did not choose to watch and can leave at once. A hook can be a problem stated bluntly, a surprising picture or the product doing something visible.
Different creators open the same brief in different ways, which is one reason to commission several videos per round and compare them. When a hook earns attention, describe it in the next brief. Reviewing hooks is the first of five checks in which UGC videos to run as ads.
