Crafting the perfect video ad in the competitive supplement niche isn’t easy. There’s a lot of competition so standing out can be challenging and creative briefs often slow the process down.
But when it’s done right, a creative brief aligns teams, streamlines revisions, and ensures on-target ads that captivate and convert.
At Primer, we’ve crafted thousands of proven ad creatives over the years, and here are some of our templates.

This framework is by far one of the most used templates for the supplement vertical. By positioning your product as the best solution, it saves your audience the time and effort of comparing options, and gives you the chance to control the narrative.

Try this framework for moderately sophisticated audiences that are ready to evaluate their options. By showcasing specific advantages like affordability, ease of use, or sustainability, you guide potential customers toward confidently choosing your product.
For example:
UGC Vs Competitors
UGC is vital for building trust and creating high-converting video ads. When real customers compare your product to their past experiences with other brands, it adds authenticity and credibility to your messaging, making it more relatable.
