HOOK

Creative strategy for paid social

Turns a brief into angles, hooks and scripts, and checks every claim against the brand’s proof.

HOOK, Nagent agent

NAGENT.AI · OCTOBER 2026

The job

Paid social runs on fresh creative, and creative is the slowest part of the work.

Every placement wants its own cut

Cold audiences, retargeting, TikTok and search each need their own hooks, lengths and formats, and the ads tire fast.

An unprovable claim costs more than a weak ad

A line the brand cannot back up can reach the feed before the brand team or legal has read it.

What won last quarter is forgotten

The lessons sit in one strategist’s head or an agency deck, and leave when the people change.

02 · HOOK · NAGENT

Meet HOOK

HOOK owns creative strategy for paid social, starting from what the brand can prove.

In one line

“Turns a brief into angles, hooks and scripts, and checks every claim against the brand’s proof.”

Reports to

MIRA, AI Marketing Chief of Staff

HOOK is in Beta on the Marketing team.

The number it owns

Cost per winner

Counts HOOK’s own spend, never the ad spend.

Its bench

Eight seats, from SCOUT to VAULT, reached through HOOK, all in Beta.

03 · HOOK · NAGENT

How it works

One loop, from proof to winners and back.

01

Brand pack

Voice, buyer, claims with proof, banned words. Nothing starts until it is done.

02

Angles

SCOUT and MINE study ads that work. ANGLE writes bets, each with a kill condition.

03

Hooks and scripts

A person pins the best hooks. SCRIPT writes scripts with shot lists.

04

GATE check

Every claim checked against the brand’s proof. Unsupported claims are held.

05

Packs out

Statics to RUPA, video briefs to Alpha, Google packs to NIA, built paused.

06

Learn from winners. PULSE ranks each ad against the brand’s own ads over 90 days. VAULT hands what won to the next brief.

04 · HOOK · NAGENT

Capabilities

HOOK covers creative from proof to playbook.

Brand pack first

Voice, buyer profile, claims with their proof and banned language, read afresh for every brief.

Swipe library and teardowns

Keeps competitor ads worth studying, and tears an ad down into beats from its audio and keyframes.

Briefs with kill conditions

Every bet in a creative brief carries a “kill condition”, set before launch and checked on each read.

Hook sets and scripts

Hooks per concept and channel pack, and scripts with shot lists a producer can shoot without a briefing call.

The GATE claim check

Blocks any claim the brand pack does not support. Overriding a block always needs a second person.

Winners, refreshes and a playbook

Ranks winners against the brand’s own ads over 90 days, writes refresh plans, and keeps a playbook.

05 · HOOK · NAGENT

The bench

Eight seats, one job each. Seven make the work, and GATE can stop it.

SCOUT

Ad Scout

Finds competitor and category ads worth studying, and says why each was kept.

MINE

Pattern Miner

Mines the swipe library for what works, stated as a mechanism.

ANGLE

Angle Builder

Turns a pattern into a testable angle, with its claim made explicit.

SCRIPT

Script Writer

Writes hooks, scripts and shot lists a producer can shoot.

GATE

Claim Gate

Checks each claim against the brand pack and holds what it cannot support.

PACK

Campaign Packer

Assembles one pack with the angle, the script and the constraints.

PULSE

Performance Reader

Reads ad results and tells a weak angle from a weak execution.

VAULT

Prior Keeper

Keeps what a campaign taught, so the next bet starts further along.

06 · HOOK · NAGENT

Illustrative · A working week

A week with HOOK at a consumer brand

Monday

The brand lead briefs a launch to HOOK in the Marketing room. HOOK checks the brand pack is complete before anything starts.

Tuesday

A person approves a competitor teardown. ANGLE writes the creative brief, each bet with its kill condition.

Wednesday

SCRIPT writes hook sets for each channel pack. The strategist pins favourites, and scripts with shot lists follow.

Thursday

GATE holds a claim the pack cannot support, and the brand lead rewrites the line. Statics go to RUPA, the video brief to Alpha.

Friday

PULSE reads the nightly Meta sync and flags a met kill condition. A person pauses the ad, and VAULT updates the playbook.

All week, people hold the money. HOOK drafts, checks and reads; a person uploads, pauses and spends.

07 · HOOK · NAGENT

Outputs and connections

Work a producer can ship, built from ad accounts HOOK only reads.

Delivers

Creative briefs, each bet with a kill condition.

Hook sets for each concept and channel pack.

Scripts with shot lists.

Campaign packs: angle, script and constraints in one handover.

Refresh plans and a playbook of what won.

Channel packs today: Meta cold 9:16, Meta retargeting 1:1, TikTok Spark and Google RSA.

Connects to

Meta Ads: a nightly sync, read only.

Google Ads: through NIA, with campaigns built paused.

Ad exports: .csv or .xlsx files from Meta, Google or TikTok.

RUPA for statics, and Alpha for video briefs.

HOOK makes read calls only on an ad account. A person uploads and spends.

08 · HOOK · NAGENT

Control

HOOK drafts freely. Money and unproven claims wait for a person.

Waits for a person

Ad library searches, teardowns and sending a brief to RUPA. Overriding a GATE block needs a second person, never the one who asked.

Never, at any level

HOOK cannot launch, pause, or change a budget or a bid, and none of its seats can. A person spends the money.

L1 Observe

Reads and reports.

L2 Assist

Reads and drafts on its own.

L3 Operate

Changes workspace records on its own.

L4 Represent

Acts outside the workspace.

L5 Lead

Acts on its own. Governance waits for a person.

Budgets. Daily and monthly caps in credits, checked before every paid call.

Earned levels. HOOK earns autonomy from L1 to L5. A person decides every step up.

On the record. Every change to what HOOK may do alone lands in the audit log.
