10 More Ads. 10 More Ideas for Great Copywriting.
80% of copywriting that I’ve learned…did it by breaking down and analyzing ads.
Here is the next best batch of ads I found and my insights…
1. Porsche
Say you’re not the best.
But prove that you’re really near the top.
Make it a humble brag but keep it subtle.
2. Nutella
You are not seeing the best chocolate spread.
You’re seeing something most people cannot resist.
Interactive + self-aware = Winning combination
3. Tivibu
Don’t start your ad by telling a feature.
Describe a situation to show its importance.
Only then will people recognize its worth.
4. Gegenbauer
If your product is a commodity, don’t say the obvious.
Instead, tell the world how great it is for every situation.
If it fits, it hits.
5. Citi Bank
If a bank is telling you to live richly, you’d remember it.
The idea is counterintuitive but it works.
Say something people don’t expect you’d say.
6. Shinola
Pick a villain.
And attack them with sarcasm.
You might find customers but you’d definitely discover a cult.
7. Sheffield Business School
Steal from stand-up comedy.
Build the setup with sentence 1.
Introduce a punchline with sentence 2.
8. Listerine
The product is not only meant to do a job.
It can also be a friend.
A friend who helps you avoid awkward situations.
9. HexClad
Pick a popular brand.
And use it to describe your product.
Say less, express more.
10. Nike
Think outside the industry your product exists in.
Treat it as a NEED that people WANT.
Build a ritual surrounding it.
