Input checklist
Format-specific workflow
01
Confirm that product images or footage is accurate and usable before choosing a reference; it anchors creator hook.
02
Describe how creator hook should interact with customer pain point and the intended 9:16 ugc ad placement.
03
Review the brief for writing polished brand copy as dialogue and showing no product interaction; add a constraint for each risk that applies.
04
Carry the selected reference and prompt into the matching template, then verify the generated composition against creator and proof direction.
