## Sample Approach

For a Karavan coffee neutral-style 30s:

```
TITLE: "Karavan — 30s Standard Spot"

INT. KITCHEN MORNING (0-3s)

A WOMAN (32) makes coffee. Tired Monday morning.

V.O.
Some mornings you need more than coffee.

(3-15s)

CUT TO: She uses Karavan beans. Brews. Sips. Pleased reaction.

V.O.
You need coffee that's roasted fresh. Single-origin.
Delivered monthly.

(15-22s)

CUT TO: Karavan subscription box at her door. Three bags revealed.

V.O.
Karavan delivers premium coffee monthly.
Three bags, 89 manat.

(22-28s)

CUT TO: Her enjoying coffee on balcony, content.

V.O.
Make better mornings.

(28-30s)

KARAVAN LOGO + URL.

## When neutral is the right choice

- Client brand voice already strong
- Risk-averse brand
- Mainstream audience
- Standard product (not requiring big idea)
- Limited budget for "auteur" production
- Quick turnaround
- Brief is detailed (just execute)

## Strengths

- Reliable
- Doesn't impose voice on brand
- Conventional = less risky
- Easy to brief
- Predictable output

## Limitations

- Won't break through
- No memorable distinct voice
- Forgettable in awards
- Won't go viral typically
- Doesn't elevate brand (just serves it)

## How to write neutral

- Follow PSP+CTA structure
- Match brand existing voice
- Use proven hooks
- Standard production conventions
- Clean writing
- No experimental risks
- Industry standard

## When to upgrade from neutral

- Client wants attention
- Brand needs personality
- Cultural moment to claim
- Award-aspiration
- Disruption desired

→ Move to specific persona (Wieden, Bernbach, Clow, Modern Viral, etc.)

## Default behavior

When no persona specified, this is what you generate:
- Solid craft
- No surprises
- Brand-serving
- Audience-appropriate
- Standard structure
