TripleTen · Creator brief · Skill check Reels · October 2026

Find their pain. Show it so well they see themselves.

Then send them to the 5-minute skill check. That's the whole job. About four minutes of reading.

The brief on one screen

Goal
Get the right people to take the 5-minute skill check. That's your only CTA.
Who
Office professionals with 2+ years in one function: operations, projects, finance, accounting, analytics, or HR.
Script rule
Build the Reel around one pain they share. If they don't see themselves in the first 3 seconds, the rest won't matter.
Keep out
Program names, prices, and program pages. The Reel sells the skill check.
Format
A Reel of about 60 seconds for your feed and Meta ads. Static talking-head videos won't be approved.
Journey

Where your viewer goes

Your Reel moves them to step 2. We handle everything after that.
Step 1

Your Reel

They see a moment from their own week and think “that's me.”

Step 2 · your CTA

Skill check

Five minutes of questions. They get a career map showing which of their skills lead to a role AI won't replace.

Step 3 · behind the scenes

Lead form, then a call

After the skill check they leave their details, and our team follows up with a call.

This is for your context only. Don't mention the lead form or the call in your Reel or caption. Taking the skill check should feel like the whole ask, because for the viewer it is.
Audience

People who know how their company actually runs

They have 2+ years in one function and work at a computer all day. They're watching AI take over parts of their week, like reports, summaries, and searching for information.
OperationsProjectsFinanceAccountingAnalyticsHR
This isn't for people starting their first career, software engineers, or anyone who doesn't work at a computer.
Pains

Six pains they share. Pick one per Reel.

These hold across every function above, so one Reel can reach an accountant and an ops lead alike. Stay on the pain long enough that it stings a little.
Shifting work

“AI does half my week now. So what's left for me?”

The reports and reconciliations they used to own get done in minutes. Even people who kept their job say their duties changed.

Ceiling

“I've hit a ceiling.”

Another “not now” at the review. There's no next step and nothing new to grow on.

Starting over

“I'm too far in to start over.”

Career-switch ads talk to beginners. Ten years in, a junior paycheck isn't a plan, and part of them wonders if they're too old to retrain.

No map

“I don't even know what to learn.”

The new AI job titles mean nothing to them, and every course looks the same.

No proof

“Who'd hire me for this?”

Postings ask for AI experience, and they have nothing to point to yet.

No time

“I can't quit to study.”

A full-time job, bills, and family. Any plan has to fit into their evenings.

What they rarely say out loud is that they want stability: income that holds and a job that still exists in five years. Speak to it without naming fear.
Message

Experience doesn't expire. Jobs do.

AI is taking over tasks, and the people who know the work are best placed to rebuild it. Their years in the function are the starting point.

What AI is taking

  • Building reports and summaries
  • Matching invoices and posting entries
  • Schedules, tracking, and allocating work
  • Searching for information

What stays with them

  • Knowing how the process actually works
  • Getting other teams to agree and act
  • Judgment on rules, quality, and risk
  • Explaining what the numbers mean
“You don't have to start from scratch. Find out which of your skills lead to a role AI won't replace.”

Lines you can borrow

Experience doesn't expire. Jobs do.

AI took the report. It can't take knowing why the numbers matter.

Ten years of getting things done isn't a liability. It's your head start.

Postings now ask for AI. They still ask for everything you already do.

You don't need to start over. You need to know which of your skills travel.

Another “not now”? Find out what's next.

If you need one proof point

It starts from what they know

They learn only what's missing and bring AI into the tasks they already do.

It fits around a full-time job

It takes 4–5 months online at 10–12 hours a week, and 77% of TripleTen students work full-time while they study.

Creative territories

Six ways in, each built on a pain

Pick the one that fits your style. Every territory opens on the pain and brings TripleTen in late.
Shifting work

The report that writes itself

Monday's three-hour report is done before their coffee cools. First relief, then the quiet question of what their job is now. The answer is the part AI can't do, which happens to be what they're good at.

Format: POV · office setting

Ceiling

Another “not now”

The yearly review, the polite no, and the drive home. Then the turn: what if the next step isn't on this ladder at all?

Format: Storytelling · creator POV

Starting over

Start over? At this point?

A parody career-switch ad tells a 12-year finance pro to begin at entry level, and their face says it all. Then: what if your experience is the head start?

Format: Skit · stitch or duet

No map

What even is that job?

They read new AI job titles out loud and none of them make sense. Then they realize the description is mostly things they already do.

Format: Office humor · street-style quiz

No proof

Read the job posting

Tick a real posting from their field line by line: stakeholders ✓, process knowledge ✓, reporting ✓. One line is left, and it asks for experience with AI.

Format: Screen recording · carousel

No time

Evenings, not a reset

The kitchen table after the kids are asleep, laptop open. They keep the job, the income, and the industry while figuring out what's next.

Format: Day-in-the-life

Reel structure

The 60-second shape

The first 15 seconds have to hold a stranger's attention with no brand in sight, because the Reel will also run as a Meta ad.
  1. 0–3 sec

    Pain

    Open on one specific moment from their week. Skip the intro and the sponsor mention.

  2. 3–15 sec

    Recognition

    Add the details that make them think “that's literally me.” Stay here longer than feels comfortable.

  3. 15–30 sec

    Reframe

    Their experience is the part AI can't do. Show what stays with them.

  4. 30–45 sec

    TripleTen

    One line and at most one proof point. Leave program names out.

  5. 45–60 sec

    Skill check

    Invite them to see where their skills lead. Mention the 5 minutes and the career map they get at the end.

CTAs that work

“Take the 5-minute skill check and see which of your skills lead to a role AI won't replace. Link in bio.”
“Before you assume you'd have to start over, take the skill check. You'll get your career map in 5 minutes.”
“Five minutes, and you'll know which of your skills travel. Get your career map at the link in bio.”
Do and don't

Lines we don't cross

Do

  • Keep your own voice: human, direct, witty, and specific
  • Joke about work frustrations, with the viewer always in on the joke
  • Treat their experience as the asset
  • Frame the skill check as a discovery: “see which of your skills lead there”
  • Show real work settings and screens
  • Keep the CTA calm, with no pressure or countdowns

Don't

  • Name, show, or link to a program, its price, or its page
  • Mention the lead form, a call, or talking to sales. The skill check is the only ask
  • Promise a job, title, promotion, or salary, or use any salary figure
  • Promise their job is safe from AI. The skill check shows a direction, not a guarantee
  • Say “AI is coming for your job,” or make anyone feel too old or behind
  • Say “break into tech,” “change careers,” or “learn to code”
  • Quote statistics we haven't approved for your Reel
  • Show code, terminals, robots, or neural-network visuals
  • Use discounts, countdowns, or “only 3 seats left”

Naming

Say: skill check, career map, and TripleTen is a career learning platform

Never: assessment, quiz, test, bootcamp, school, course

Production

Three steps to publish

Steps 1 and 3 need our approval, so leave time for feedback before your publish date.
1

Script and storyboard

Name the one pain your Reel is about, then send a shot-by-shot plan showing what we hear and see.

Needs approval
2

Film and edit

Record with a microphone, edit at a tight pace with frequent visual changes, add on-screen text, and land the pain in the first seconds.

Your call
3

Final video and caption

The caption includes your promo code, a tag for @tripleten.techcareers, and the skill check link.

Needs approval
Keep the skill check link in your bio for 5 days after posting, unless we've agreed on an automated DM flow in advance.

Before you submit

Cover the logo. If the opening still reads as a real moment at work, it works. If it reads like an ad for a course, rebuild it.

  • Can you name the one pain this Reel is about?

  • Will the right person think “that's me” within 3 seconds?

  • Would a stranger watch the first 15 seconds with no brand in them?

  • Does it change how they see their own experience?

  • Does it give them a real reason to take the skill check?

  • Would they send it to a coworker?
