Hook & Form

How we work

A clear brief.
A considered ad.

Start with the business outcome. Shape one useful message. Build the creative around it.

Hook & Form, by Principia Labs, takes a focused project from concept and script to finished vertical ad files.

The process

Decisions before
production.

A clear next step at each stage.

01 / Understand

Find the actual goal.

We start with your audience, the message they need to understand, the action you want them to take and the assets you can use. We agree the scope, fee and timing before production.

02 / Shape

Approve the idea.

Review one creative direction, a 20–30 second script and a simple storyboard. Confirm the business facts and approve the message before animation begins.

03 / Finish

Review the actual ad.

Review the motion, voice and music treatment, readability and timing. Two consolidated feedback rounds lead to the agreed exports and a usable handoff.

The single-message ad package

One story.
A useful delivery.

A focused scope for a first project, using approved brand and business assets.

What’s included

  1. 01
    Concept, script and storyboard

    One creative direction and a 20–30 second script, with a storyboard for approval.

  2. 02
    A vertical motion graphics ad

    A 9:16 ad with a defined voice and music treatment.

  3. 03
    Two opening hooks

    Two openings for the same core ad, each delivered captioned and clean: four MP4 files, plus caption files.

  4. 04
    Review and handoff

Fee and timing follow the brief. Asset permissions and AI policy are agreed before production. Filming, media buying and campaign management are outside this package. Campaign performance is not guaranteed.

Before we start

Bring the facts.
We’ll shape the story.

What to bring
