This approach is easy to replicate for your own product.

You can easily create this at home using just a phone and a camera.

If you want to go a step further, consider using A1 paper from a stationery store for a clean white, gray, or off-white background.

This 20 second ad does one great thing.

Which is clearly showing the problem it solves, enhancing your brand's visibility through AI.

It's brief and to the point.

The entire video is shot on a smartphone, giving it a natural feel while the voiceover provides a clear explanation.

Ending the ad with a ‘if AI is not mentioning your brand, you are basically invisible’.

🤝TOGETHER WITH ROKU

Shoppers are adding to cart for the holidays

Over the next year, Roku predicts that 100% of the streaming audience will see ads. For growth marketers in 2026, CTV will remain an important “safe space” as AI creates widespread disruption in the search and social channels. Plus, easier access to self-serve CTV ad buying tools and targeting options will lead to a surge in locally-targeted streaming campaigns.

Read our guide to find out why growth marketers should make sure CTV is part of their 2026 media mix.

Backpack ad

🤖Prompt:  

Ultra-realistic outdoor lifestyle advertising image for the US camping and hiking market. A rugged olive-green tactical backpack is the clear hero, worn by a male hiker seen from behind, standing confidently in a snowy pine forest campsite. The backpack is sharply in focus, showing premium textures, reinforced stitching, MOLLE webbing, compression straps, hanging gear loops, and subtle outdoor branding, while the hiker and background fall into a soft cinematic depth of field. The scene includes a glowing campfire and a pitched tent in the mid-background, slightly blurred, creating warmth against the cold winter environment. Natural golden-hour lighting with crisp highlights and realistic shadows enhances the backpack’s durability and rugged appeal. Composition is vertical, ad-ready, with the backpack centred and occupying most of the frame. High dynamic range, photorealistic detail, professional outdoor gear photography style, authentic US wilderness aesthetic. Include clean modern ad typography overlay: bold headline reading “Perfect Backpack for Your Next Adventure” with emphasis on “Adventure,” supporting bullet points “Durable, Versatile, Essential,” and a contrasting orange “Shop Now” call-to-action button. Cinematic colour grading, premium commercial quality, no cartoon effects, no AI artefacts, realistic proportions and textures throughout.
