Brief next

Three concepts worth testing now

Each one pairs an idea that already works here with a gap no brand fills.

01

Proof-first care journey

Open on a named result. Then show the check, the clinician review and the follow-up before 0:15. 47 of 82 videos promise support, and only 4 name the clinician.

02

Clinician myth buster

A named clinician answers one common doubt with one visual proof. Only 3 of 82 videos use an expert format, and none is a myth buster.

03

Mechanism plus feeling

Keep the food noise or confidence angle that 15 videos use. Then show how the programme changes a normal day.

More detail

Every quote, every ad and the format definitions

What they say, word for word

Hook82 of 82 ads

Most hooks are a first-person story or a pain point. CheqUp opens 6 of 7 videos on the same line.

Problem44 of 82 ads

The problem is rarely the weight itself. It is starting over, putting yourself last, waiting, or being blamed.

  • My BMI was high enough for the NHS criteria, but I wouldn't have been seen for months.ZAVA 6 ↗
  • I realized I couldn't keep putting everyone else first.Asda 3 ↗
  • Assumption is that he's not trying hard enough, but the biology tells a different story.Numan 8 ↗
  • After having my baby, I found it a little bit hard to feel like myself again...Simple 1 ↗

Benefit65 of 82 ads

Benefits are about feeling like yourself, family time and quick replies, not the number on the scale.

  • I wanted more energy for family daysAsda 3 ↗
  • Check ins, same day replies and treatment support includedZAVA 8 ↗
  • Medication definitely removes that.Second Nature 4 ↗
  • What proper clinical support can do is quietly shift that relationship not overnight but gradually in the background.Numan 6 ↗

Proof56 of 82 ads

Proof is weight lost, in stone, kg or dress size, or a review score. Only 4 videos name the clinician.

  • My XL clothes are baggy now.Simple 3 ↗

Offer23 of 82 ads

Offers are a starting price or a code. ZAVA leads with "from just £49".

CTA59 of 82 ads

The CTA is a check, not a buy: an eligibility check, a quiz or an online consultation.

US

Brief next

Three concepts worth testing now

Each one pairs an idea that already works here with a gap no brand fills.

01

Fast reveal, then a person

Keep the 0:03 tablet reveal that all 6 DocMorris videos use. Then show a patient or a doctor. 0 of 15 videos are testimonials.

02

Meet the doctor who checks

Dr. Ansay talks about the doctor's check in 6 of 8 videos. Show the doctor who does it, by name, before 0:15.

03

From customer post to video

ZAVA's customer posts and reviews are 4 of its 10 image ads. Film one with the real customer. No German video is a testimonial.

More detail

Every quote, every ad and the format definitions

What they say, word for word

Hook15 of 15 ads

DocMorris opens on one short text line. Dr. Ansay opens on a question or a claim about weight.

Problem7 of 15 ads

The problem is food thoughts, diets that failed and the yo-yo effect.

Benefit10 of 15 ads

The benefit is a doctor's check and a safe process, not kilos lost.
