Ad Professor Original: JBL

Here's an ad I made for JBL.


Great Ad: BIC

🧪 Principle: The Time Machine Metaphor

Use nostalgia + modern language to create an instant cultural bridge.

Old habit → new context → punchline.


Great Ad: Axe

🧪 Principle: The Enemy of Cool

Define what’s uncool so your product becomes the antidote.


Social Media Ad: Superbock

🧪 Principle: The Pop-Culture Hijack

Hijack a trending phrase or lyric, and make it unmistakably yours.


Social Media Ad: Jumpspeak

🧪 Principle: Meme Hijacking for Purchase Intent

Turn a viral meme format into a direct-response ad without losing humour.


Great Video Ad: Smashers Burgers

🧪 Principle: The Criminal Trojan Horse

Step 1: Hook them with news.

Step 2: Hijack the frame into an ad.
