Outcome

Manus wrote a drama-format script for one of the brand's top historical winning ad concepts, modeled on a winning drama ad from a beauty brand; the poster says it hit 5 ROAS right away.

This is the source's own number. We haven't measured it.

Manus

Prompt Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Rewrite one of my best-performing ad concepts as a short drama-style ad script, using a winning drama ad as the model.

Check with me first: Which ad concept should you convert, and which drama ad should you learn from?

What I'll give you:
- My winning ad concept (script or description)
- An example drama ad I want to model

Rules:
- Keep the core message and offer from my original ad.
- Follow the structure and pacing of the example drama ad without copying its words.
- If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing.
- Stop at the script. I'll handle production and launch.

Output: A ready-to-shoot drama ad script.

You'll know it worked when: the script keeps my winning hook and reads like the drama format I picked.

Try this in:

Sends the Recreated prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini opens empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.

The source used Manus, which can take actions in a browser or app. These are general chat tools, so results may differ, and a normal chat may only give you a plan.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Rewrite one of my best-performing ad concepts as a drama-style ad script modeled on a winning drama ad.

Quick check first: tell me if anything below is missing or unclear.

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Winning ad concept
- Example drama ad
- Length and platform
- Brand rules
- Audience and offer

Rules:
- Break down the example's structure (hook, conflict, turn, payoff) before writing.
- Keep my concept's core message and claims; no new product claims.
- Write 2 versions with different hooks.
- Include shot notes and on-screen text.
- Keep the hook in the first 3 seconds and show the product within 10.
- Write dialogue that sounds natural when read aloud.
- Explain which beats you borrowed from the example and why.
- Avoid copying the example's lines or characters.

If you get stuck: If brand rules are unclear, ask. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords.

Verify before you finish: Check the script fits the length when read aloud.

Output: Two scripts with structure notes.

Done when: the script follows the drama structure and keeps my message.

    Asked to create a professional PDF brochure from the poster's website, Manus browsed and analyzed the site but delivered what was essentially copy-paste into a plain Google Doc; after feedback it only added a coloured first-page background and a different font, and the poster cancelled.
