“15 Minutes Could Save You 15% Or More On Car Insurance” - Geico

🧠 Hook Psychology
Specificity: The direct benefit is made clear by specifying the potential savings and the short time commitment.
Instant Gratification: The promise of significant savings within a short timeframe taps into our desire for immediate solutions and relief.
Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): There’s a sense of urgency and opportunity — it compels the audience to take action or miss out.
💡 Takeaway: Getting the direct and specific benefit across as quickly as possible can lead to a killer hook.
