01 · Brief

Little Caesars sells hot, ready and cheap in a category where most feed ads are the same flat overhead pizza shot. This cut swaps the flat lay for a fisheye macro and a fast menu montage, so the food reads as fun and plentiful in the first second with the sound off.

02 · Hook: the thumb-stop

Frame one is a fisheye macro of bubbling pepperoni: the product fills the screen before the logo does.

03 · Angle

Abundance, played loud: pizza, wings, Crazy Puffs and Buffalo Ranch dip tumble through a sunlit fisheye world under inflatable pink letters.

04 · Structure, beat by beat

  1. Hook · 0.0–1.5 s

    Extreme macro cheese pull on pepperoni: appetite before the logo.

  2. Problem / setup · 1.5–3.4 s

    Buffalo Ranch dip over wings, then the mascot box: the brand lands by second 3.

  3. Proof / product · 3.4–8.8 s

    Crazy Puffs box, the full spread, floating food, a wing dunked in ranch: the bundle shown, not told.

  4. End card · 8.8–10.1 s

    Mascot box over the spread, held as the end frame. No price or offer line.

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 pepperoni macro against the ranch-dip splash as frame one, judged on 3-second views per impression.

  2. B

    End card: a ready-now price super against the logo alone, judged on outbound click-through.

06 · What a Sprint does with it

  • Thumb-stop first. The first 1.5 s decides whether anyone sees the rest. In a Sprint we cut alternative openers onto a master like this and let the account pick, instead of arguing about taste.
  • One master, many exports. A master like this is exported in the hooks, ratios and lengths the brief fixes (up to 12 files across all six masters in a Sprint), captioned and named for your ad account.
  • Ahead of creative fatigue. The read-out names the next three angles, so the following round is planned before frequency climbs on the winner.
  • Judged on CAC, not on likes. Each cut has a hypothesis and a kill rule; when you share account data, the day-21 read-out says which cut had the lower cost per acquisition in your numbers and which one lost.
