Reaction hooks work because the face creates curiosity before you mention your product.
Select shocked or surprised reaction clip
Add text overlay stating the problem
Cut to product at 2.5 seconds
1. "I can't believe this actually worked"
2. "Why did nobody tell me about this sooner"
3. "Okay but this is actually insane"
Pair any hook with a reaction clip from UGCBundle as your opening 2–3 seconds. Download a bundle, trim in CapCut, and upload to your ad account.
Test 5+ hook variants per ad set before scaling.
