What it is
A presenter playing the founder speaks to camera in the shop, studio or office, cut with shots of the work being done.
When to use it
Small businesses whose story is the reason to buy: craft, local, independent.
Why it works
People buy from people; a face and a reason build trust faster than a feature list.
How it plays
- hook (about 4 s): The founder says the moment they decided to start.
- why (about 8 s): What they care about, with a shot of the work.
- proof (about 6 s): One specific detail that shows the care (from the profile).
- cta (about 4 s): An invitation to visit or try.
The hook: A personal first line: 'I started this because…'

How much does the founder talk template cost to make?

Do I have to write the script?
No. Add your website and OpenPromo reads it: what you sell, your prices, your reviews, your colours and fonts. The writer fills the template from that, and you can edit every scene, or give it an angle such as a product or an offer.
