Video ads for coaches and consultants
For coaches and consultants, the person is the product, so video ads almost always feature the coach on camera giving away a real insight. That builds the trust needed before someone books a call. Outcome and income claims are the main risk: they must be typical and supported, and client testimonials must be genuine.

Prove expertise on camera
A viewer deciding whether to book a call wants evidence that this person understands their problem. A specific, useful observation does more than a list of credentials. The ad should sound like the first five minutes of a good consultation.
Concepts that fit

| Framework | A simple three-step model, explained |
| Client story | A real client's situation, with permission |

| Call invite | What happens on a discovery call |
Claims and testimonials
