Ad Creative — Fix Weak Text Angle (Step 2b)
Part of the ad-creative-variations family. Full context: ../ad-creative-variations/SKILL.md.
When to use
- Only after
ad-creative-analyze-winnerproduced a TEXT ANGLE SCORE of WEAK (6 or lower). - Never run this as a standalone step without that brief — it needs the full brief output verbatim.
- The output (Top Pick) feeds into
ad-creative-new-angles. It never feeds intoad-creative-new-backgrounds(Prompt 3) — a weak text angle is never the reason to copy, only to fix.
Prerequisites
- The full brief from
ad-creative-analyze-winner, verbatim. - The winning ad image again.
- The target market/language (same one used in the brief).
Procedure
Run this prompt (adapt [LANGUAGE/MARKET]):
Based on this winning ad brief:
[PASTE HERE: full output from Prompt 1]
I will upload the winning ad as a reference image.
The current text angle is WEAK. Analyse why and fix it.
STEP 1 — DIAGNOSE THE WEAKNESS
Identify in 2-3 sentences exactly why the current text angle is not working:
* Is it too generic? Too product-focused instead of problem-focused?
* Does it lack emotional pull or specificity?
* Is the hook too weak to stop the scroll?
STEP 2 — REWRITE THE TEXT ANGLE
Create 5 stronger text angle variations that fix the diagnosed weakness.
Each variation must include:
* New headline (max 8 words, [LANGUAGE/MARKET])
* New subheadline or body copy (1-2 lines)
* Which emotional trigger it uses
(curiosity / fear / social proof / authority / transformation)
* One sentence explaining why it is stronger than the original
Rules:
* All text in [LANGUAGE/MARKET]
* Keep the same visual format and layout from the brief
* Do not invent claims not present or implied in the winning ad
* Each variation must feel scroll-stopping on its own
* Avoid angles that sound similar to each other
STEP 3 — TOP PICK
Recommend the single strongest variation and explain in 2 sentences
why it would outperform the original text angle for this specific audience.
Output each variation clearly numbered 1-5 before the top pick.
After running
Take the headline, subheadline, and emotional trigger from the Top Pick forward into ad-creative-new-angles — that skill has a dedicated block for it. Discard the other 4 variations unless the user wants to keep them as extra options.
Pitfalls
- Do not run this on a STRONG text angle — nothing to fix, go straight to
ad-creative-new-anglesand/orad-creative-new-backgrounds. - Do not invent product claims that weren't in the original ad, even to make a headline punchier.
- Do not let variations sound like rephrasings of each other — each must attack the diagnosed weakness from a genuinely different emotional trigger.
