Ad Professor Original: Corona

Here's an ad I made for Corona...

"Good things take lime"

Read that again ;)


Great Ad: The Economist

🧪 Principle: Reframe the Threat In Their Favour

Don't fuel fear, offer agency.

Offer power back to the reader.


Great Ad: Canva

🧪 Principle: Break The 4th Wall

Brilliant use of formatting from Canva's new campaign.

Show your audience what happens when they don't use your product.


Social Media Ad: Loop

🧪 Principle: Answer Your Audience’s Prayers

Whether in a tweet or Instagram story form, this is a great way to stop the scroll and highlight benefits.


Social Media Ad: Lidl

🧪 Principle: Popular Culture Hijacking

Use a popular TV show everyone will recognise and slot your product into it.


Great Creator Ad: Lidl

🧪 Principle: Use Platform Features

Instagram introduced a new feature: you press on the screen in the right place, and the video speeds up.

This Coffee Shop used it cleverly for an ad.

Brilliant.
