This is probably the most excited I’ve been to write a Marketing Minds email in a long time!

Let's Dive In...

How to Use Google Veo 3 to Create AI Ad Hooks

The Day Everything Changed for Video Marketing

Picture this: You wake up tomorrow morning with an idea for a video ad. By lunch, you've created 10 different variations featuring news anchors, astronauts, medieval kings, and someone on a roller coaster — all delivering your marketing message perfectly.

Sound impossible? That was yesterday's impossible. Today, it's just Tuesday.

I've been testing Google Veo 3 for the past few weeks, and I can tell you without exaggeration — this changes EVERYTHING about how we create video content.

Here's what blew my mind: I created a professional news anchor delivering a breaking news segment about AI videos. It had:

• Perfect lip sync

• Background music

• Reflections on the desk

• A slow camera pan

• Professional lighting

Time to create? About 60 seconds. Cost? Part of my Google AI subscription. Quality? Judge for yourself when you watch the full tutorial.

Why This Matters for Your Business Right Now

Look, I've been in the video marketing game for years. I've spent hundreds of thousands on video production. And I can tell you this with absolute certainty:

The businesses that adopt AI video creation NOW will have an insurmountable advantage over their competition.

Think about it:

• While they're spending $5,000 on one video, you're creating 100 variations

• While they're scheduling shoots weeks in advance, you're testing new hooks daily

• While they're limited by location and logistics, you're putting yourself anywhere in the universe

This isn't just about saving money (though you'll save a TON). It's about the ability to test, iterate, and optimize at a speed that was literally impossible just months ago.

The Complete Veo 3 Video Creation System

Now, this wouldn't be a Marketing Minds Newsletter if I didn't give you the exact system to implement this yourself. You can watch the full tutorial on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGc1ZM4FAPA

So here's my complete breakdown:

Step 1: Getting Access to Google Veo 3

First things first — you need access. Here's exactly how:

1. Go to labs.google.com/flow

2. Click "Create with Flow"

3. Sign in with your Google account

4. Choose either Google AI Pro ($20/month) or Ultra ($250/month)

Pro Tip: Start with Pro if you're just testing. You get the first month free and can create about 10 videos. If you're serious about this (and you should be), Ultra gives you around 100 videos per month.

Step 2: Creating Your First AI Video

The interface is surprisingly simple, but the key is in the prompting. Here's my proven formula:

The Perfect Prompt Structure:

1. Start with "Do not include any text or captions in this video"

2. Describe the scene clearly

3. Include the exact script

4. Add specific visual directions

5. End with technical requirements

Example Prompt That Works:

Do not include any text or captions in this video. Create a video of a news anchor in a professional TV studio saying "Breaking news: You can now use Google Veo 3 to create AI generated videos." The studio should have "BREAKING NEWS" visible in the background. The anchor should be serious and professional. Camera should slowly zoom in during the announcement.

Step 3: The Game-Changer — Putting Yourself in Videos

This is where it gets REALLY interesting. While Veo 3 doesn't directly support image uploads yet, I discovered a workaround that's pure gold:

1. Go to gemini.google.com

2. Upload a headshot of yourself

3. Use this prompt: "Create a detailed description of this person that I can use in Google Veo 3 to recreate them in videos"

4. Copy the description it generates

5. Use that description in your Veo 3 prompts

Real Example from My Testing: I turned myself into:

• An astronaut in a YouTube-themed spaceship

• A medieval king declaring AI is the future

• A tech guy on a roller coaster talking about marketing

Each video looked remarkably close to me and delivered the message perfectly.

The Secret Sauce: Prompts That Actually Convert

After creating dozens of videos, I've discovered what separates mediocre AI videos from ones that actually drive results. Here are my highest-performing prompt templates:

The Authority Hook Template:

Do not include any text or captions in this video. Create a video of a [TYPE OF PERSON] in a [SETTING] saying "[YOUR HOOK MESSAGE]". The camera should [CAMERA MOVEMENT]. The person should appear [EMOTIONAL STATE] while delivering the message. [ADD PERSON DESCRIPTION]

The Pattern Interrupt Template:

Do not include any text or captions in this video. Create a video that starts with [ATTENTION GRABBING VISUAL] then transitions to [MAIN SCENE] where someone says "[YOUR MESSAGE]". Make this feel like a high-production commercial. [ADD PERSON DESCRIPTION]

The Storytelling Template:

Do not include any text or captions in this video. Create a cinematic video showing [CHARACTER] in [UNUSUAL SITUATION] discovering that "[YOUR VALUE PROPOSITION]". Film this like a movie trailer with dramatic music. [ADD PERSON DESCRIPTION]

My Top 5 Veo 3 Video Marketing Strategies

1. The Rapid Testing Method

Create 10 different hooks for the same offer in different scenarios. Test them all with $5 daily budgets. Scale the winner. Rinse and repeat weekly.

2. The Authority Builder

Put yourself in professional settings relevant to your industry. Doctor's office, boardroom, NASA control room — wherever your ideal client would expect an expert to be.

3. The Pattern Interrupt

Start with something completely unexpected (like being on a roller coaster) then tie it back to your business message. The contrast creates memorability.

4. The News Jacking Technique

Create "breaking news" style videos about industry trends or your latest offers. The familiar format increases trust and attention.

5. The Demonstration Play

Show your product or service in action through creative scenarios. "Even astronauts in space are using our software" type angles.

Critical Success Factors (Don't Skip These!)

Quality Control:

• Always generate 2-4 variations

• Don't settle for the first output

• Sometimes the 4th variation is pure gold

Audio Considerations:

• Always use "Veo 3 quality with beta audio"

• Check lip sync carefully

• Re-render if audio doesn't match

Common Pitfalls to Avoid:

• Don't try to make videos longer than 8 seconds (current limit)

• Avoid text/captions even when requested — it often glitches

• Keep facial descriptions consistent across videos

Pro Optimization Tips:

• Download in 1080p for best quality

• Test different times of day (server load affects quality)

• Save your best prompts for reuse

What This Means for the Future of Marketing

Let me be crystal clear about something: We're at the iPhone moment of video creation.

Remember when the iPhone came out and people said "Why would I need internet on my phone?" Now look where we are.

The same thing is happening with AI video. Right now, people are saying "AI videos look fake" or "This is just a gimmick."

Meanwhile, smart marketers are building entire campaigns, testing hundreds of variations, and capturing market share while their competitors debate.

Here's my prediction: Within 12 months, AI-generated video content will be the norm, not the exception. The question isn't IF you should start using this technology — it's how fast you can implement it.

The businesses that recognize this opportunity and act on it NOW will have an astronomical advantage. While others are still debating, you'll be creating, testing, and scaling.

Remember: This technology is the WORST it will ever be. It's only getting better from here. The sooner you start, the bigger your competitive advantage.

Don't be the person who looks back in a year and says "I wish I had started earlier." Be the person who took action and transformed their marketing.
