01 · Brief

An ident has ten seconds to make a mark stick. This one spends them on the logo twice and the product once: a dashboard whose plan is called Q3 Knockout Plan, so the name and the product say the same thing. The line stops on “with” and the logo has to finish it; there is no product name, offer or URL.

02 · Hook: the thumb-stop

Frame one is the KO mark filling a white app tile: brand before anything else.

03 · Angle

Logo sting with a product flash: the mark, one look at the app, then a three-block tagline that the logo completes.

04 · Structure, beat by beat

  1. Hook · 0.0–1.5 s

    The KO® mark fills a white app tile, then snaps into a glowing blue disc at 0.7 s.

  2. Product UI · 1.5–6.0 s

    A team dashboard tilts into view (Q3 Knockout Plan, KO Score); a cursor clicks Show more.

  3. Tagline · 6.0–9.7 s

    A blank gradient, then the line in three supers: Knock out / your goals / with (cuts at 7.6 s and 8.8 s).

  4. End card · 9.7–10.1 s

    Hard cut back to the white KO tile, which has to finish the sentence. It holds 0.4 s; no product name, offer or URL.

Not in this cut: an offer. In a Sprint the offer (price, bundle, guarantee) is a test variable: a 1.5 s card swapped in before the end frame.

05 · What we'd test first

  1. A

    Opener: the white tile against the glowing disc as frame one, judged on 3-second views per impression.

  2. B

    End: this cut against one that holds the closing logo 1.5 s with the app name under it, judged on hold to the end.

06 · What a Sprint does with it

  • Thumb-stop first. The first 1.5 s decides whether anyone sees the rest. We cut three openers from this master and let the account pick, instead of arguing about taste.
  • One master, many cuts. This master becomes the 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 set in two lengths, captioned and named for your ad account, so testing velocity is limited by budget, not by edits.
  • Ahead of creative fatigue. New hooks and angles land before frequency climbs on the winner, so the account is never waiting on the next shoot.
  • Judged on CAC, not on likes. Each cut has a hypothesis and a kill rule; the day-21 read-out says which one lowered your cost per acquisition and which one lost.
