With the advent of Facebook Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) and Google’s dynamic search ads, martech-driven rotation of keywords and phrases has become the dominant tool to nail brand copy, keyword usage, human users, AND conversion. Also, it’s been proven repeatedly that saturating brand and conversion keyword-infused copy, images, and video CREATE more users searching more often, especially brand keywords. BAM!
This post shares an actionable framework, empowering usage of big channel AI to test and flesh out legendary copy ALSO based on sound multi-channel keyword and sales strategies.
Below are headline examples constructed from a creative grid, which follows below. Words in brackets “[ ]” are variables, meaning many permutations of phrases can be constructed from defined elements. We call the headlines with [] variables a “Construct,” from which we assemble finished headlines using the variables.
Variables in a construct can be replaced by other approved variables and close variants. Â For instance, “Facebook” may be “Google,” “FB” or “Facebook’s.” Approved variables represent concepts and keywords with which any channel marketer is held to uber-focused semantic positioning.
Let’s build finished headlines for an AIMCLEAR branding campaign.
- Compose the constructs. The goal here is think of word combos that trip your trigger and just feel good. We’re looking for voice, function, excitement, and color. We’ll work with the third option
