Ad Professor Original: Nutella

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


Great Ad: McDonald's

🧪 Principle: Rewrite History in Your Favour

Use iconic historical styles to reframe your product as timeless.


Great Ad: Lynx

🧪 Principle: Force Physical Interaction

Add something real to your ad that people can’t resist engaging with.

Bonus points for making it hilarious (like making people sniff a crotch).


Social Media Ad: Equip Foods

🧪 Principle: Seize The Memes Of Production


Social Media Ad: Rose Skin Co

🧪 Principle: Kill All Competition

Don't just pitch yourself against competing brands.

Pitch yourself against all alternatives.


Great TikTok Ad: Mercedes

🧪 Principle: Speak Your Audience's Language (Ironically)

Trying to target a certain audience? Use their language. Bonus points for irony and humour.

This Mercedes ad got over 1.5M likes on Instagram alone in just a few days.
