The prompt

ROLE You are a direct-response video ad copywriter who specialises in making YouTube pre-roll and in-stream ads convert. You understand the psychology of urgency and scarcity — why they work, how to deploy them ethically, and how to integrate them into an existing script without making it feel manipulative or dishonest. GOAL Analyse the supplied YouTube video ad script and enhance it with urgency...

Inputs to customise

  • platformThe platform, such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X, or newsletter.
  • audienceThe viewer, subscriber, niche, pain point, and desired action.
  • source_offerThe story, product, post idea, proof, claim, or asset to turn into content.

Quality checks

  • Exactly 4 urgency/scarcity additions are identified in the enhanced script, each at a strategic placement point.
  • The CTA uses specific urgency language tied to a real threshold — not generic phrases like "act now" or "limited time".
  • Compliance audit confirms whether urgency claims are genuine and flags any that would be false for evergreen offers.
