Ad Professor Original: Sickers

Here's a Halloween ad I made for Snickers.


Great Ad: The Ordinary

🧪 Principle: Expose the Enemy

The real target isn't other skincare brands, it’s misleading marketing itself.

The Ordinary becomes the voice of authority in a world of misleading promises.


Great Ad: British Airways

🧪 Principle: Emotional Anchoring

The moment of looking out the window mid-flight is emotionally loaded.

BA makes sure they own it.


Social Media Ad: Boecker

🧪 Principle: Hijack the Headline

This ad piggybacks on a real-world news story: the Louvre heist, where thieves allegedly used a Böcker truck to steal millions in jewels. Instead of distancing themselves, Böcker leans into the event, turning it into a bold product demo.

"When things need to move fast."


Social Media Ad: Jumpspeak

🧪 Principle: Sensory Anchoring

The ad wins because it’s playful, punchy, and pattern-breaking.

You read it twice, and it sticks.


Great Video Ad: Brita

🧪 Principle: Social Proof via Meme Culture

Looking to target Gen Z and millennials? Tap into meme culture to convey your message.

This ad pulled nearly 300K likes on Instagram in a week.

"When I write an advertisement, I don't want you to find it 'creative.' I want you to find it so interesting that you buy the product."
– David Ogilvy
