AI Tools for Video Ads: 3 Hands-On Techniques

Imagine a future where every ad feels tailor-made for each viewer. AI is at the forefront of making this vision a reality. It can take user data from platforms like TikTok and craft personalized advertisements that resonate with individual preferences. For instance, in dating services, AI can dynamically alter elements like a model's hair color or facial features in a video ad to better capture a user's attention. This level of personalization can significantly boost engagement and conversion rates, making your ad campaigns more effective than ever before.

AI tools can dramatically reduce the time and resources needed for content creation and iteration. Whether you're making videos for TikTok or Instagram, the ability to generate and fine-tune content quickly is a game-changer. It ensures that your content remains fresh and aligned with the latest trends, giving you a competitive edge in the market.

Social Discovery Group has a portfolio of 50+ brands that help people connect and build relationships globally. A huge department of marketing experts stands behind it, scaling our products with the help of AI. In this article, the user acquisition team of SDG unveils three hands-on techniques that we use to elevate our video ads, enhancing their personalization and efficiency.

The Power of Text Hooks

The first few seconds of a video can make or break its success. To capture your audience's attention, a compelling hook is essential. Enter AI-powered text hooks, a simple yet highly effective technique to amplify your video's impact.

AI enables the rapid generation of a wide array of text hook variations. This capability allows you to experiment with different hooks and identify the most captivating ones for testing. With iterative fine-tuning, you can tailor these hooks to specific audience segments, ensuring maximum engagement.

To illustrate, let's consider an example of a query we used with ChatGPT to create text hooks for a TikTok ad. Remember, the more context you provide in your query, the better the results.

AI can generate a range of high-quality text hooks perfectly suited to your video.

AI-Driven Localization in Creative Production

Expanding your reach to new markets and demographics has never been easier, thanks to AI-driven content localization. This approach not only saves time and resources but also ensures that your ads resonate with diverse audiences.

For instance, we did the transformation of a video from its original English to a seamlessly translated Spanish version, achieved with the HeyGen AI tool. The Spanish adaptation maintained the natural tone and feel of the original content. Check the original video and the localized one to compare. This exemplifies the power of AI in creating localized content, offering a seamless way to connect with new markets and broaden your advertising horizons.

AI in Concept and Script Creation

AI isn't just about automation; it's a catalyst for creativity. When it comes to developing concepts and scripts for your marketing videos, AI can provide fresh and innovative ideas that might not be immediately apparent.

Consider how AI-assisted us in crafting a concept for a TikTok ad promotion.

By inputting details like our target audience and key messaging points, we obtained several customized concepts ready for refinement and production. This showcases AI's ability to efficiently generate creative concepts, streamlining the video creation process and unleashing your marketing team's creative potential.

The integration of AI tools like ChatGPT into your marketing strategies for video ads is a game-changing move. It empowers you to deliver personalized content, ensures efficiency in content creation, and opens doors to new markets through content localization. Moreover, AI sparks creativity by suggesting innovative concepts and scripts. Embracing it in your advertising strategies is not just a choice but a necessity in the ever-evolving landscape of social media marketing.
