🔗 How life sounds

Perfect for adding a sprinkle of ✨magic✨to the grid

How to use it: 

This trend is about romanticizing a simple, ordinary moment. Use some variation of “how life sounds when I” as your onscreen hook – for example “how life sounds when I’m using the stress less method.” Focus on a great feeling your product gives people, or the magic of booking a service for something they didn’t want to DIY!

Hook Ideas:

  • Product-based: How life sounds when I see our [product] out in the wild

  • Service-based: How life sounds when you want [result] and you discover this account

Example:

We like the playful vibe in this product-based example
