# Wonder v46 — competitor reset

Captured 22 September 2026. The operator rejected the previous work and requested a broad GetHooked study plus two new examples. This supersedes finishing the ten v38 plates for this turn.

## Evidence boundary

GetHooked returned 74 stored ad records. 73 primary images were downloaded and visually inspected across seven contact sheets; the set includes variants, retailers and advertorial advertisers. It is not 73 unique winning concepts. Obvi, Vegamour, Nioxin, K18, Kerotin, Toriant/Maxgrow, Kuri Nüka, Azure Boutique, Bloom & Bond and others appear in the sweep. Nutrafol-name search results were not attributed to Nutrafol unless brand identity matched.

GetHooked labels and days active are selection signals only. No spend, CPA, ROAS or conversion data was supplied. A long-running creative deserves inspection; it is not proof of profitable performance.

Obvi’s current retrieved ads mostly concern Burn, so the actual hair-regrowth examples come from the previously captured 15–16 September Foreplay archive. Provenance is explicit on the board.

## What changes in the work

1. Begin with a recognizable hair frustration, not a bottle fact or generic aspiration.
2. Make the headline dominate the first read: few words, large type, short stacked lines. Obvi is frequently heavy geometric/condensed sans; Vegamour and some supplement sellers use editorial serifs. These are visual classifications, not claimed identification of their original font files.
3. Pair the claim with a literal visual: Nioxin’s hairbrush, Vegamour’s hair ruler, K18’s hair and pack. A uses the brush; B uses the desired texture and shine.
4. Put the bottle inside the photograph at a persuasive scale. Preserve a whole bottle and use deterministic Remotion text, rather than stacking a small product cutout below a generic scene.
5. Use bottom furniture for a benefit, ingredient/spec line or substantiated proof. Do not invent a customer count, study result or guarantee.

## Corrected CTA finding

The earlier universal no-in-image-CTA inference does not survive the wider sample. Current Obvi bundle/offer ads and Kuri Nüka examples do contain drawn buttons. Several Obvi hair ads, Vegamour, Nioxin and K18 examples close with plain proof/spec/benefit furniture. These two Wonder drafts use no button because their job is a fast problem/product read, not because competitors universally avoid buttons.

## Two executions

A — STOP BREAKAGE STEALING YOUR LENGTH. Pink/plum, Anton, literal brush, dominant bottle, ingredient/spec footer. The premise is brittle lengths and lost length retention.

B — DRY. FRIED. Done. Ivory/cocoa, high-contrast Bodoni family, full-scene hair portrait and bottle, soft/glossy benefit footer. The premise is damaged, dry-feeling hair.

The exact on-image copy is in review-board/creatives.json. Product reference: source/real-bottle-reference.png. Product source: https://wholesalebotanics.com/products/batana-oil-for-hair. The new plates were generated with the built-in image-generation tool; typography rendered in Remotion. These are generated product scenes, not before/after results or customer photos.

### Obvi — 163637195

Observed line: **CLAIM MY BUNDLE**

### Vegamour — 160281977

Torn-paper claim strip over usage photography. The statistic is the headline; the product ritual supplies context.

### Toriant — 126943775

### K18 Hair — 78362281

Observed line: **hair like new**
