Ad Professor Original: Sennheiser

Here's an ad I made for Sennheiser headphones...


Great Ad: Aeromexico

🧪 Principle: Daydream Anchoring

Use everyday moments, like cloud-watching, to visualise your product’s promise.

Turn imagination into aspiration, then make it feel attainable.


Great Ad: Tesco

🧪 Principle: Bait with Culture, End with Message

Use a widely recognised cultural debate or reference to grab attention.

Then finish with a knockout punch.


Social Media Ad: Liquid Death

🧪 Principle: Weaponise the Criticism

Turn outrage into outreach by using backlash as creative fuel.

When your brand is built to provoke, critics hand you free headlines.


Social Media Ad: Rose Skin

🧪 Principle: Interface Hijacking

Great way to visualise your razor missing you because you've found a better alternative.


Great TikTok Ad: Solo Coffee

🧪 Principle: The 2-Second Hook

The usual attention span when scrolling is 2 seconds.

Use those first 2 seconds to grab attention... Like police storming the place.
