## TOF -- Top of Funnel (6 Briefs)

### Brief 1: "Toned, Not Bulky"

**Hook text:** "Creatine isn't for getting bulky. It's for getting toned."
**Awareness stage:** Unaware | Angle: Contrarian / Identity
**Target persona:** Tone Seeker, Wellness-Curious

**Visual concept:**
Split-frame design. Left side: a dated, oversaturated gym-bro aesthetic (grainy, washed out, crossed out with a subtle line). Right side: a clean, well-lit woman in athleisure holding the sparkling can mid-sip — relaxed, confident, not performative. The hook text sits across both halves. Berry-to-cream gradient background on the right side. SETU logo bottom-right.

**Image reference:** `creatine-glutone-lifestyle-ai-person-1080x1350.jpg` (adapt — crop to focus on upper body, overlay text on clean background area)

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: Reframe the misconception — creatine supports lean muscle and tone, not bulk.] [Line 2: Name the triple combo and the format advantage — sparkling, no chalk, no bloat.] [Line 3: Daily routine framing — pop, sip, done.]

**CTA:** Shop Sparkling Creatine
**Format:** 1080x1350 (story)

### Brief 2: "1% Per Year"

**Hook text:** "After 35, you lose 1% muscle per year. Unless."
**Awareness stage:** Problem Aware | Angle: Pain (gentle) / Authority
**Target persona:** Midlife Muscle Keeper, Skeptical Newcomer

**Visual concept:**
Minimal, editorial layout on cream (#FDF6F0) background. Large "1%" in Deep (#7A1040) as the dominant visual element, almost like a magazine stat callout. Below it, the hook text in a clean sans-serif. Product can floats in lower-third with a subtle shadow. Small supporting line: "2g Creatine HCL + Beetroot + L-Carnitine." No lifestyle imagery — let the number do the work.

**Image reference:** `creatine-sparkling-berry-lemonade-hero-ai-01-1080x1080.jpg` (product shot composited into lower-third of the editorial layout)

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: State the age-related muscle loss fact plainly — no dramatisation.] [Line 2: Position creatine as the evidence-backed counter — cite the meta-analysis scope (16 RCTs).] [Line 3: Format ease — sparkling berry lemonade, INR 40/day.]

**CTA:** See what's inside
**Format:** 1080x1080 (feed)

### Brief 3: "Brain Supplement"

**Hook text:** "Wait, creatine is a BRAIN supplement?"
**Awareness stage:** Unaware | Angle: Curiosity / Contrarian
**Target persona:** Wellness-Curious, Ambitious Professional

**Visual concept:**
Bold typographic treatment — the word "BRAIN" in large Pink (#E8387A) text against a Cream background, with "supplement?" in smaller Deep (#7A1040) beneath it. A subtle brain-to-muscle icon or illustration connects the two concepts. Product can sits beside the text, angled casually. Supporting stat lockup: "16 clinical trials. 492 participants. Women respond 2.5x more."

**Image reference:** `creatine-glutone-hero-ai-01-1080x1080.jpg` (product composited into typographic layout — product should feel secondary to the text)

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: Open with the overlooked fact — 20% of your body's energy goes to your brain, and creatine is the rapid energy system.] [Line 2: The 2.5x women's cognitive response data point from the meta-analysis.] [Line 3: Reframe — not a gym supplement with brain benefits, but a daily brain and body drink.]

**CTA:** Check the research
**Format:** 1080x1080 (feed)

---

### Brief 4: "Brain Fog"

**Hook text:** "Brain fog has a clinical answer now."
**Awareness stage:** Problem Aware | Angle: Authority / Pain (gentle)
**Target persona:** Juggling Mom, Energy-Depleted Professional

**Visual concept:**
Dark-to-light gradient concept. Top half: hazy, slightly blurred (representing fog), with the hook text emerging from the haze. Bottom half: sharp, clear, bright — the product can in focus with crisp Berry Lemonade colour popping against the clarity. The visual metaphor IS the message. Supporting text in the clear zone: "2g Creatine HCL. Clinically studied for cognitive function."

**Image reference:** `creatine-sparkling-berry-lemonade-hero-ai-01-1080x1080.jpg` (product in the "clear" lower section — high contrast, saturated)

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: Acknowledge the reality — the 3pm slump, the forgotten word, the scattered focus.] [Line 2: Name the mechanism — creatine fuels the phosphocreatine system that powers rapid thinking.] [Line 3: Position as daily support, not a quick fix — 8 weeks to measurable cognitive improvements in clinical trials.]

**CTA:** Try it and see
**Format:** 1080x1350 (story)

### Brief 5: "Gym Bros Got It Right"

**Hook text:** "The supplement gym bros accidentally got right -- for the wrong reasons"
**Awareness stage:** Unaware | Angle: Contrarian / Curiosity
**Target persona:** It Girl, Wellness-Curious

**Visual concept:**
Playful editorial style. A classic gym aesthetic (dumbbell, shaker bottle, chalk) photographed in black-and-white, occupying the top half. Below, in full colour: the Berry Lemonade can against a pink-to-cream gradient, looking decidedly un-gym. Hook text bridges both halves. The tone is "we see the irony and so do you." Supporting text: "Creatine HCL + Beetroot + L-Carnitine. For your brain and your muscles."

**Image reference:** `creatine-glutone-lifestyle-ai-gym-1080x1350.jpg` (desaturate to B&W for the top half) + `creatine-sparkling-berry-lemonade-hero-ai-01-1080x1080.jpg` (full colour for the bottom product section)

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: The reframe — creatine has decades of muscle research, but the real surprise is what it does for cognition.] [Line 2: The women-specific data — 2.5x greater processing speed improvements in the meta-analysis.] [Line 3: Land on the format — sparkling berry lemonade, not a chalky powder in a gym bag.]

**CTA:** Shop Sparkling Creatine
**Format:** 1080x1350 (story)

### Brief 6: "Your 3pm"

**Hook text:** "Your 3pm is powered by creatine. Or it should be."
**Awareness stage:** Problem Aware | Angle: Identity / Pain (gentle)
**Target persona:** Ambitious Professional, Energy-Depleted Professional

**Visual concept:**
Lifestyle-first. A clean desk scene — laptop, notebook, a half-finished cup of coffee pushed aside, and the Berry Lemonade can front and centre, freshly opened (condensation or fizz implied). Natural light. The vibe is "afternoon upgrade." Hook text as a text overlay across the top. Supporting line at the bottom: "Creatine HCL for sustained energy. Not a stimulant."

**Image reference:** `creatine-glutone-lifestyle-ai-kitchen-v2-1080x1350.jpg` (adapt — the kitchen/desk setting works for a WFH afternoon context)

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: Frame the 3pm problem — energy dips, focus drops, reaching for caffeine that spikes and crashes.] [Line 2: Explain the difference — creatine replenishes cellular ATP, the real energy currency. No jitters, no crash.] [Line 3: Daily ritual framing — pop one open at your desk, 30 seconds, done.]

**CTA:** Get your first pack
**Format:** 1080x1350 (story)

## MOF -- Middle of Funnel (4 Briefs)

### Brief 7: "We Dissolved It"

**Hook text:** "The reason you quit creatine? We dissolved it."
**Awareness stage:** Solution Aware | Angle: Pain / Comparison
**Target persona:** Gym Regular, Fitness-Committed

**Visual concept:**
Before/after product comparison (NOT a person before/after). Left side: a glass of murky, gritty, half-dissolved creatine monohydrate powder — chalky, unappetising, sitting in water. Right side: a clear, sparkling Berry Lemonade drink — fizzy, vibrant, inviting. "Before" and "After" labels are unnecessary — the visual contrast IS the argument. Hook text across the top. Bottom lockup: "Creatine HCL. 40-60x more soluble."

**Image reference:** `creatine-sparkling-berry-lemonade-ad-feed-no-bloat-no-chalky-taste-just--1080x1080.jpg` (this asset already captures the "no chalky taste" concept — use as the base or right side)

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: Name the problem honestly — monohydrate bloats, clumps, and tastes like punishment. That is why 60%+ of people quit.] [Line 2: Name the solution — HCL dissolves 40-60x faster. Nothing sits in your stomach. Zero loading phase.] [Line 3: The bonus — this one also has Beetroot and L-Carnitine for blood flow and lean mass support.]

**CTA:** See the difference
**Format:** 1080x1080 (feed)

### Brief 8: "Zero Zero Zero"

**Hook text:** "Zero bloat. Zero grit. Zero excuses."
**Awareness stage:** Solution Aware | Angle: Comparison / Proof
**Target persona:** Tone Seeker, Fitness-Committed

**Visual concept:**
Bold, typographic-led layout. Three rows, each with a large "ZERO" in Deep (#7A1040) followed by the word (bloat, grit, excuses) in lighter Berry (#C4336A). Clean Cream background. Product can centered at the bottom, slightly rotated for visual interest. Minimal — the rhythm of the three zeroes IS the creative. Small lockup: "Creatine HCL + Beetroot + L-Carnitine | Berry Lemonade."

**Image reference:** `creatine-sparkling-berry-lemonade-hero-ai-01-1080x1080.jpg` (product composited into the typographic layout as the anchor visual)

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: Address each "zero" — HCL means no bloat, sparkling means no grit, daily format means no complicated protocol.] [Line 2: What you get instead — 2g clinical-dose creatine, plus ingredients that support blood flow and lean mass.] [Line 3: Price anchor — INR 40/day.]

**CTA:** Shop Sparkling Creatine
**Format:** 1080x1080 (feed)

### Brief 9: "Your Monohydrate Does 1 Thing"

**Hook text:** "Your monohydrate does 1 thing. This does 3."
**Awareness stage:** Product Aware | Angle: Comparison / Proof
**Target persona:** Gym Regular, Health-Conscious Man

**Visual concept:**
Clean comparison layout. Left column: a single ingredient icon (creatine monohydrate) with one benefit listed ("muscle"). Right column: three ingredient icons stacked (Creatine HCL, Beetroot, L-Carnitine) with three benefits ("muscle + tone," "blood flow + endurance," "lean mass + mTOR activation"). The right column is in colour, the left is greyed out or muted. Product can anchors the right side. Hook text at top.

**Image reference:** PDP slide `04-ingredients.jpg` (reuse the ingredient visual as a design element) + `creatine-glutone-hero-ai-01-1080x1080.jpg` (product anchor)

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: Most creatine is one ingredient doing one job. SETU's formula combines three for a reason.] [Line 2: Name the synergy — Creatine + L-Carnitine together activate mTOR (p=0.017). Neither does it alone.] [Line 3: The format advantage — all three in a sparkling drink that actually tastes good.]

**CTA:** Compare the ingredients
**Format:** 1080x1080 (feed)

### Brief 10: "Women 2.5x"

**Hook text:** "Women respond 2.5x more than men. The data is in."
**Awareness stage:** Solution Aware | Angle: Authority / Contrarian
**Target persona:** Wellness-Curious, Ambitious Professional

**Visual concept:**
Data-forward editorial design. The "2.5x" is the hero — large, bold, in Pink (#E8387A). Below it: a clean bar chart or simple visual comparing women's vs men's cognitive response (stylised, not a clinical chart — think editorial infographic). Product can positioned alongside. Supporting text: "Meta-analysis. 16 clinical trials. 492 participants." Cream background, minimal clutter.

**Image reference:** PDP slide `05-stats.jpg` (adapt the stats visual for the 2.5x data point) + `creatine-sparkling-berry-lemonade-hero-ai-01-1080x1080.jpg`

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: The surprising finding — a meta-analysis of 16 RCTs found women showed 2.5x greater processing speed improvements from creatine than men.] [Line 2: Why this matters — creatine has been marketed to men for decades, but the cognitive data favours women.] [Line 3: SETU built a creatine for this data — HCL for comfort, sparkling for taste, triple combo for performance.]

**CTA:** See the research
**Format:** 1080x1350 (story)

## BOF -- Bottom of Funnel (2 Briefs)

### Brief 11: "INR 40/day"

**Hook text:** "INR 40/day. Pop, sip, done. Berry lemonade."
**Awareness stage:** Most Aware | Angle: Urgency / Convenience
**Target persona:** All personas (retargeting)

**Visual concept:**
Product hero shot, tight and appetising. The can fills most of the frame — condensation, fizz bubbles visible, Berry Lemonade colour popping against a Cream background. Price badge overlay: "INR 40/day" in a clean circle or pill shape (Pink on Cream). Hook text at top. Bottom lockup: "2g Creatine HCL + Beetroot + L-Carnitine | 30-day pack." Everything about this ad says "just add to cart."

**Image reference:** `creatine-sparkling-berry-lemonade-hero-ai-01-1080x1080.jpg` (use at near-full bleed, tight crop on the can, add price badge and fizz effects)

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: Price reframe — less than a daily chai, more than a daily multivitamin.] [Line 2: What is in it — 2g Creatine HCL, Beetroot for blood flow, L-Carnitine for lean mass. No loading phase.] [Line 3: Direct CTA — get your first 30-day pack.]

**CTA:** Get your first pack
**Format:** 1080x1080 (feed)

### Brief 12: "Trust Transfer"

**Hook text:** "You trust SETU for skin. Now try muscle + brain."
**Awareness stage:** Most Aware | Angle: Proof / Identity
**Target persona:** Existing SETU customers (retargeting / cross-sell)

**Visual concept:**
Brand ecosystem shot. A styled flat-lay showing 2-3 SETU products the customer already knows (Skin: Youthful, Skin: Renew) alongside the Sparkling Creatine can — all arranged on a Cream surface with natural light. The creatine can is slightly larger or elevated to draw focus. A "NEW" badge in Berry (#C4336A) on the creatine can. Hook text across the top. This says "same brand you trust, new benefit."

**Image reference:** `creatine-glutone-lifestyle-ai-flatlay-1080x1080.jpg` (use as base — adapt to include recognisable SETU packaging alongside the creatine)

**Body copy framework:**
[Line 1: Acknowledge the relationship — if you already use SETU for skin, you know the formulation standards.] [Line 2: Introduce the new benefit territory — muscle, tone, and cognitive support from the same evidence-first approach.] [Line 3: The ease pitch — same daily ritual, one more can.]

**CTA:** Add to your routine
**Format:** 1080x1080 (feed)
