A swipeable carousel with one tip per slide — a cover, a run of content slides, and a close. Designed as a system rather than a set of loose images.
When to use it
Saves and shares, which is what carousel-heavy feeds reward. It suits educational content, and it publishes natively to Instagram, LinkedIn document ads and Meta carousels.
The thing to get right
Density is capped on purpose: each content slide gets a short headline and a couple of supporting lines, because a slide has about two or three seconds of attention before the swipe.
The format at a glance
- Output — a video ad.
- Structure — 6 beats, each one a separately planned shot.
- Family — Organic social video.
- Recipe id — listicle, which is what you name when you ask for it by hand or from an agent.
How much fits on one slide?
A short headline and a couple of supporting lines. The density cap is deliberate: a slide has about two or three seconds before the swipe, and one that needs longer is a slide nobody finishes.
