Great ad: McDonald's

🧪 Principle: Speak Your Audience's Language

McDonald's made a series of ads based on the 'strange' food trends involving their food.

Eg. dipping fries in a milkshake.

Relatable.

Great ad: Hiscox

🧪 Principle: The Trojan Horse

Hiscox disguised their copyright infringement ads by pretending to be ads for other brands.

Genius.

Social media ad: Surreal

🧪 Principle: The Comp Swipe

Surreal stealing Kellog's latest ad and inserting their own message into it.

Kellog's: The OG

Surreal: 0g of sugar.

Social media ad: Real Estate NZ

🧪 Principle: The Facial Expression Test

An ad that makes your audience pull a face = A good ad.

Great Tiktok Ad: Brita UK

🧪 Principle: Make Ads That Don't Look Like Ads

Brita playfully mocking AI in their latest TikTok.

It looks more like a product placement than an ad.
