Ad Professor Original: Avis

Here's an ad I made for Avis.


Great Ad: Malört

🧪 Principle: Amplify Flaws Into Fame

Malört knows its reputation - a taste not everyone enjoys.

So why not 10x it in their ads with a scroll-stopping headline.


Great Ad: WWF

🧪 Principle: Future Framing

WWF using a calendar UI to make the future extinction of animals feel imminent and incite panic and action.


Social Media Ad: BetterHelp

🧪 Principle: The Reluctant Hero Hook

Step 1: Start from a common struggle

Step 2: Finish with a desirable strength

Raw, real ads > Performative perfect ads


Social Media Ad: Outlign

🧪 Principle: This vs. That

Lead with a harsh truth — say what your audience won’t admit out loud.

This vs. That in a new format.


Great Video Ad: Liquid Death

🧪 Principle: The Innuendo Hook

Nothing stops a scroll faster than an innuendo. Everyone instantly thinks... WHAT?! And double-checks if the ad is serious.

And that's how you get people's attention.

Bravo Liquid Death.
