Individual skill

visual-formats

A reference library of 45+ visual ad formats for Meta and paid social, each with a definition, funnel stage guidance, and medium (video/static/both). Use this whenever choosing how an ad should look and feel, building out a creative concept, writing a creative brief, or deciding which format best serves a messaging angle and awareness stage. Trigger when the user asks "what format should this be," "how should we execute this," "give me concept ideas," or any time a creative concept needs a production structure. Always pair with creative-mechanics to fully flesh out the concept — format defines the vessel, mechanic defines the cognitive move inside it. Either can come first; they work in both directions.

# Visual Formats

Visual formats are the **production structure** of an ad — what it looks like, how it's built, and what medium it lives in.

They are not hooks (what you say), not mechanics (how the viewer arrives at the truth), and not messaging angles (what the core truth is). Format is the vessel. creative-mechanics defines what moves inside it.
