Gen Z doesn’t like to be served ads. Consumer products and apps are catching onto this, meeting their customers with relatability and storytelling through AI generated photo carousels that seamlessly link stories to their product or app. They’ve cracked the code on offering value, making it feel like a discovery rather than an ad. Here’s how you can leverage these templates to tell your brand’s story and convert views to downloads and sales. Read on to receive:

Overview 📓

This AI-generated photo carousel format has quickly become a go-to for consumer products and apps trying to engage Gen Z. It’s simple to replicate and relies on a few key elements that help brands tell stories to increase both trust and conversion. These carousels are made up of five main components:

  1. Engaging headline that sets up the storytelling with a controversial or surprising header.

  2. Four to six AI-generated images that enhance the story being told through the carousel (instructions on how to do this below).

  3. Engaging captions throughout each photo that relate to the photos and the overall story, the shorter, the better.

  4. Organically integrate your app at the end of the slideshow.

  5. Utilize the “title” portion of the caption for an organic feel that aligns with the story like “the best nutrition tips” or “the best day ever” followed by hashtags in your niche in the description of the caption.
