Ad Professor Original: Heinz

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


Great Ad: Lidl Sweden

🧪 Principle: The Logo Edit

Sometimes the smallest edits tell the biggest story.

Lidl Sweden flips the i in Lidl into a bed to announce nighttime deliveries.


Great Ad: Plastic Change

🧪 Principle: Shock to Unlock

Use sex or shock not for clicks, but for cause.

This ad hijacks male vanity to reframe a serious issue: fertility damage caused by plastic.

Step 1: Starts with a taboo-breaking hook

Step 2: Flip a popular phrase into a call for action


Social Media Ad: Vinterior

🧪 Principle: Interface Hijacking: ChatGPT Edition

Use a fake AI response to humorously overstate how good your product is.

The bigger the exaggeration, the better.


Social Media Ad: Aldi

🧪 Principle: Ride The Wave

The best way to stand out is to ride the hype waves.

Aldi creating this miniature clothes set for the viral Labubus went viral on Instagram and generated over 60K likes in just 3 days.


Great Video Ad: Roger Roger Delli

🧪 Principle: The 10x

Struggling to come up with ideas?

Think: What's the most extreme thing I can do? And do it.

This video went viral, racking up millions of views, reshares, remakes and how-they-did-it videos.

"Good copywriting is like a good salesman: it must speak to one person at a time, in language they understand, about something they care about." – David Ogilvy
