In this video tutorial Adil builds a luxury beauty brand, Higgs, from a blank page to finished commercials in about an hour. He designs the logo, products and a brand kit in GPT Image 2.0, then in Marketing Studio swaps avatars and hooks to aim UGC ads at different audiences and makes a Wild Card perfume ad for about nine dollars, which he says would cost thousands to shoot. His pick for a luxury brand on a small budget is the TV Spot preset: a character, a location and a five-word prompt.

What is said

The parts of the video and what is said in each (★ — how much it matters to the video).

00:00:00 — Opening skit; beauty marketing and AI; what the video will build

  • ★★ Adil says beauty marketing is one of the most saturated spaces, yet a brand that did not exist three months earlier is already winning in it from one viral video, not from budget. — 00:00:27
  • ★★ Adil says that in 2026 the big brands are no longer testing AI, it is already in their production pipeline, and what used to cost a fortune in shoots, agencies and crews anyone can now do on a laptop. — 00:00:27

00:01:24 — Step one, invent the brand: the Higgs logo, symbol and monogram in GPT Image 2.0

  • ★★ Adil says a logo needs no long, detailed prompt: he selects GPT Image 2.0 and types "create a high fashion futuristic logo for a brand called Higgs". — 00:01:53 · GPT Image 2
  • ★★ For the Higgs logo Adil sets 4K resolution, 16:9 and four versions; asking for the logo, a separate symbol and a monogram in one prompt gives all three in one image. — 00:02:21
  • ★★★ Adil says a logo needs only a rough direction, not an exact picture: even with a simple prompt GPT Image 2.0 picks up the direction and fills in the gaps, so no paragraph is needed. — 00:02:53 · GPT Image 2

00:03:30 — Step two, the products: perfume, lip balm and cream, the brand kit, a campaign poster and a billboard

  • ★★ For the Higgs product collection (perfume, lip balm and cream) Adil stays in GPT Image 2.0 and attaches the logo, aiming for something authentic, natural, elegant and a little ethereal. — 00:03:30 · GPT Image 2
  • ★★ Adil's prompt for the Higgs product set: "luxury beauty set on white" (perfume bottle, cream jar, lipstick tube) with pressed flowers, lavender and gold leaf details, brass caps with a gold H monogram and soft studio lighting. — 00:03:51
  • ★★★ Adil makes a brand kit with the colours, fonts and logo variations in one place, which he says keeps everything consistent across every ad, banner and image. — 00:04:22 · brand kit
  • ★★ Adil's brand kit prompt: "a brand kit layout for Higgs" showing the colour palette and typography, clean and minimal, dreamy, almost cinematic, in lavender, cream and gold, using the attached logo. — 00:04:49 · brand kit
  • ★★ In the generated Higgs brand kit, Adil says, the colours felt right and all the text came out consistent, even the very small lettering. — 00:05:17 · brand kit
  • ★★ The Higgs brand kit holds the logo, colour palette, typography, brand elements, product presentation, application, texture, pattern, brand voice, brand values and tagline. — 00:05:40 · brand kit
  • ★★★ Adil's campaign poster prompt: a blonde-haired woman as the campaign hero, the products from the attached image used exactly as shown, their shape, design and proportions preserved, "Do not redesign them." — 00:06:09
  • ★★ In the Higgs campaign poster the logo stayed consistent and the image even carried the brand's domain, higgsbeauty.com. — 00:06:09
  • ★★ With a super simple billboard prompt ("photorealistic billboard ad mounted above a real city road") and the same references, the Higgs billboard kept the logo, the text and the product line exactly as in the brand kit. — 00:06:57

00:07:23 — Marketing Studio UGC: avatar, product, a simple prompt; hooks and settings

  • ★★★ Adil says attention spans in 2026 are very short, so an ad has to grab attention as early as possible. — 00:07:23
  • ★★ Adil says the newest update of Marketing Studio adds hooks and settings to grab attention early in an ad. — 00:07:23 · Marketing Studio
  • ★★ Adil says UGC, a real person on an iPhone camera talking about something they discovered, works because it feels like a recommendation from a friend. — 00:07:46 · UGC
  • ★★ For a Marketing Studio UGC ad Adil picks an avatar and uploads the product, having separated the three Higgs products into single images to make a different ad for each. — 00:07:46 · Marketing Studio, UGC
  • ★★ Adil keeps the UGC prompt super simple: "a cozy home setting", plus the line the woman says as she removes the cap. — 00:07:46 · UGC
  • ★★ Adil says the Marketing Studio UGC avatar looked realistic, held the product naturally and talked like a real person, not an ad. — 00:08:42 · Marketing Studio
  • ★★ Marketing Studio offers hooks to add to a UGC ad, among them Epic Fail and Product Crush. — 00:08:42 · Marketing Studio
  • ★★ Marketing Studio settings put the avatar in unusual locations such as a rooftop, a volcano or an airplane wing. — 00:09:06 · Marketing Studio
  • ★★ For a UGC ad in Marketing Studio Adil sets 9:16, the highest quality, 1080p, and a duration of 15 seconds. — 00:09:06 · Marketing Studio, UGC

00:09:35 — The hand-cream UGC ad with a hook played back

  • ★★★ Adil advises mixing hooks and settings in Marketing Studio: swap the avatar and the hook to make a completely different ad with the same product for a different audience. — 00:09:35 · Marketing Studio

00:09:48 — Mixing hooks and settings; a custom 60-year-old avatar with the Random Object Mic hook and no prompt

  • ★★ To reach another age group Adil creates an avatar in Marketing Studio with the one-line prompt "an elegant 60-year-old woman". — 00:10:09 · Marketing Studio
  • ★★ Adil adds the Random Object Mic hook (as heard) and generates the UGC ad with no prompt at all. — 00:10:09 · Marketing Studio

00:10:38 — The Random Object Mic ad played back

  • ★★ Adil says the Random Object Mic hook works because it is funny and unexpected: the woman holds a mic with "6-7" on it and winks at the end. — 00:10:38 · Marketing Studio

00:10:50 — Hyper Motion: lip balm, perfume and cream ads with Soul Cinema locations as second input

  • ★★ Adil says Hyper Motion is the cinematic, CGI-quality format of luxury campaigns that normally takes a director, a motion team and weeks of post-production for a first draft; in Marketing Studio it is a preset. — 00:11:07 · hypermotion, Marketing Studio
  • ★★ A Hyper Motion prompt can be as simple as "a dynamic ad", but to match the brand Adil first creates a location in Soul Cinema. — 00:11:44 · hypermotion, Soul Cinema
  • ★★★ For the lip balm Hyper Motion ad Adil gives the location as second input with the prompt "flowers burst from desert sand. Petals open to reveal the lip balm. The cap lifts and camera pulls back at the end." — 00:11:44 · hypermotion
  • ★★ Adil says he will put all the Soul Cinema locations of the Higgs ads and their prompts in the description. — 00:11:44 · Soul Cinema
  • ★★ Adil calls a location given as input very useful for a brand: a real store can be the backdrop of the ad, with the real product. — 00:12:27 · hypermotion
  • ★★ For the perfume Hyper Motion ad Adil picks the product and a location and describes only the vibe and the movement, starting "cinematic ad for luxury perfume bottle". — 00:12:27 · hypermotion
  • ★★★ For the cream Hyper Motion ad Adil prompts "flowers bloom and reveal a floating face cream jar" with "camera orbits to a slow-mo hero shot" and "no cuts", one continuous motion. — 00:13:42 · hypermotion

00:14:41 — Wild Card: a custom avatar and a surreal fragrance ad, and what it cost

  • ★★ In Marketing Studio's Wild Card preset the subject is a character: a preset avatar or a custom one. — 00:14:45 · Marketing Studio

  • ★★ Adil's Wild Card prompt for the perfume: "surreal luxury fragrance ad, warm sand tones, lilac sky, cinematic and slightly uncanny luxury aesthetics". — 00:15:10 · Marketing Studio
  • ★★★ Adil says the Wild Card perfume ad would easily cost thousands as a production (model, setting, VFX), while in Marketing Studio it came to about nine dollars. — 00:15:53 · Marketing Studio

00:16:25 — TV Spot: the pearl-world ad and a couple's story at a train station with two avatars

  • ★★★ Adil recommends the TV Spot preset for a luxury brand: perfume, jewellery, fashion or high-end tech. — 00:16:25 · Marketing Studio
  • ★★ For the pearl TV Spot Adil brings a custom avatar and a location made in Soul Cinema together in Marketing Studio with the five-word prompt "a dreamy pearl world ad". — 00:16:55 · Marketing Studio, Soul Cinema

  • ★★ Marketing Studio does not let a TV Spot use two avatars. — 00:17:49 · Marketing Studio
  • ★★★ For a Marketing Studio TV Spot with two characters, Adil picks one avatar and attaches the second as a reference. — 00:17:49 · Marketing Studio
  • ★★ Adil's TV Spot prompt for a couple's story: a black and white train station where a woman places a red lipstick on the table and the colours spread from it, transforming the scene, in slow motion. — 00:18:18 · Marketing Studio
  • ★★ For the TV Spot Adil sets 16:9, 15 seconds and 1080p. — 00:18:18 · Marketing Studio
  • ★★★ If he had to pick one Marketing Studio mode for something outstanding without a big budget, Adil says, it would be TV Spot. — 00:18:59 · Marketing Studio

00:19:24 — Recap: from a blank page to commercials in about an hour; sign-off
