Great Ad: IKEA

🧪 Principle: Hidden prices

They made cheap items look premium, then revealed the IKEA price as the punchline.


Great Ad: Economist

🧪 Principle: Threat flip

Reframe the threat in their favour. Don't fuel fear, offer agency. Offer power back to the reader.


Social Media Ad: Huel

🧪 Principle: Minimal Design = Maximum Clarity

One bold number.

One surprising line.

One rich visual.

There’s zero clutter

Just contrast and intrigue.
