An ad that looks like a customer filmed it.

Bring your product. Storyworld makes an ad that looks like a real customer's phone footage, with a customer and a place of its own for every market you sell in.

One small story, told the way a customer would.

Every UGC ad follows the same arc, in the same order. You decide how long it runs: a longer ad stretches each stage, or shows the demo and the proof again.

  1. The hook

    It opens mid-moment, already about your product, so the scroll stops.

  2. The problem

    The trouble, said plainly, and how it felt.

  3. The demo

    Your product in use, explained in plain words.

  4. The proof

    One real result, shown rather than promised.

  5. The ask

    One clear next step, said straight to camera.

No music: the customer talks straight to camera on the phone's own microphone, close and natural, with the place faint under it.

Four ways to tell it.

The same arc, with a different way in.

  • Review · 4:5

    Review

    Starts from the result they got, admits they had doubts, then tells how it went.

  • Before & after · 4:5

    Before & after

    Opens on the result, goes back to before, then shows what got them there.

  • Unboxing · 4:5

    Unboxing

    Opens the box on camera, finds the one thing that stands out, and gives a verdict.

  • Tutorial · 4:5

    Tutorial

    Shows the finished result first, then the steps, with your product's part in them.

You bring three things.

One product, and for every market you sell in, one customer and one place.

  • Product photo · 4:5

    Your product

    A picture of it, and a few plain lines: the problem it solves, what it does and how it sits in the hand. No shot is made until the picture is there.

  • Customer portrait · 4:5

    A customer

    Someone who would really buy it: an ordinary face, ordinary clothes, and the hand that holds your product in every shot.

  • Location still · 4:5

    A place

    Where they would really film it, indoors or out, lit by the light that is already there.

Your crew handles the rest.

Each part of the ad is looked after by someone on your crew who knows how a real customer's clip is made.
