The prompt

Perplexity

Act as a creative director with 15 years of copywriting experience. I need to create an advertising script for [PRODUCT/SERVICE] targeting [TARGET AUDIENCE] on [CHANNEL: TV / radio / social media / YouTube]. The campaign objective is [OBJECTIVE: awareness / conversion / product launch]. The desired tone is [TONE: humorous / emotional / authoritative / inspirational]. Target duration: [DURATION: 15s / 30s / 60s]. Before writing, research current advertising trends in the [SECTOR] sector and identify storytelling techniques that perform best on [CHANNEL]. Then generate a complete script structured as follows: 1) HOOK (the first 3 seconds to grab attention), 2) PROBLEM (identification of the audience's pain point), 3) SOLUTION (presentation of the product as the answer), 4) PROOF (credibility element or social proof), 5) CALL TO ACTION (clear and urgent CTA). Include staging cues in brackets [VISUAL], audio directions in parentheses (MUSIC/SOUND), and voice-over instructions in italics. Also provide 3 variations of alternative hooks to test.

Why it works

This prompt leverages Perplexity's search capability by explicitly requesting trend analysis before writing, grounding the script in market reality.

FAQ

Why use Perplexity instead of ChatGPT to create an advertising script?

Perplexity offers a major advantage: access to real-time data. When creating an advertising script, it's essential to know current market trends, recent competitor campaigns, and which formats are performing on each channel. Perplexity automatically searches for this information and integrates it into its response with verifiable sources. This produces scripts anchored in market reality rather than based on potentially outdated knowledge. It's particularly useful for cultural references, creative trends, and industry benchmarks.

How do I adapt the prompt depending on the advertising channel (TV, radio, social media)?

Each channel has its specific constraints that the prompt must reflect. For TV, emphasize detailed visual directions and image/sound synchronization. For radio, focus on the evocative power of words, sound effects, and vocal rhythm. For social media, specify the format (vertical Story, Reel, feed post) and request an ultra-short hook (1-2 seconds) because attention is more volatile there. For YouTube, distinguish between skippable ads (critical hook in the first 5 seconds) and non-skippable ones (6 or 15 seconds). Simply add these details in the [CHANNEL] variable of the prompt.

How do I get multiple versions of the script for A/B testing?

The main prompt already asks for 3 hook variations, but you can go further. After getting your first script, ask Perplexity: 'Now generate 3 full versions of this script varying the emotional angle: one version focused on fear of missing out (FOMO), one focused on aspiration, and one focused on humor. Keep the same structure and duration.' This approach gives you testable scripts for different audience segments while maintaining product message consistency.
