Week of Mar 18
The theme of this week’s ad creative round-up is simplicity yet effectiveness. These ads are easy to recreate yet will produce strong results. Two of these ad creatives were even made in-house with our team. Let’s get started!
#1 Upgraded Review Ad
This upgraded review ad is similar to your typical review ad but includes a feature that has a stronger chance of enticing the audience to click through and convert. Here’s exactly how to recreate it:
🔥 The distinguishing feature of this review ad is the inclusion of the line: “10,406 Five Star Reviews”. This provides ultimate customer social proof.
🔥 Additionally, it’s still important to include a strong, concise customer review showcasing the outcome after using the product.
🔥 Include an image of the product as well to allow this ad to have a strong balance between the customer quote and a split image of the product.

#2 In-House PR Ad
Haven’t been featured in a publication? No problem. Make one up yourself. We created this for the brand Vacation, where it’s styled as a retro, vintage print ad that fits the brand's style AND feels like a publication. Here’s exactly what you need to do to recreate it:
🔥 Include one of your best-selling products and use a flashy headline. In this example, we used “The World's Best-Smelling Sunscreen.”
🔥 Showcase the product image. You can also include a lifestyle image to showcase the product in use.
🔥 Add a blurb about the product as if it’s the body of the article.
#3 Search Bar
We developed this ad creative for Monday, the haircare brand, and it’s an eye-catching creative that will stop the scroll instantly. Overall, this is a pretty simple yet effective ad. Here’s how you can recreate it for your brand:
🔥 Pose a question that relates to a common problem that your customers have in the search bar.
🔥 For the second frame, indicate your product as the solution to the original question.
🔥 For the background image, use a product plus lifestyle image so potential customers can envision themselves using the product.
