Learn Top Strategies For Creating High-Converting Facebook And Instagram Ads, Avoid Common Mistakes, And Get Insider Tips From Real-World Examples.

Ever wonder why some ads make you stop scrolling while others just blur by? In this week's episode, we're diving deep into the world of ad creatives – the good, the bad, and the downright confusing!

I'm spilling the tea on:

  • What's working RIGHT NOW in images and videos for ads that convert like crazy 💥
  • The top 3 mistakes to avoid with your ad creatives (trust me, you don't want to make these!)
  • Real examples of ads I stumbled across during my Saturday morning scroll-fest (yes, I actually do this for fun 🤓)

Plus, I'm breaking down why some big brands' ads hit the mark while others… well, let's just say they could use some Launch Lounge love!

Whether you're a course creator, coach, or just ad-curious, this episode is packed with nuggets to help your ads stand out and convert.

So grab your favorite beverage, pop in those earbuds, and let's dive into the wild world of ad creatives together!

Here's every ad we dissected 😆 in the episode.

Masterclass Ad For a Public Speaking Coach.


One of my favorite Aussies, Vinh Giang doing what he does best: teaching public speaking. Only, I wish his ad contained at least one clear benefit of joining his masterclass.


Stock Image Subscription With a Difference


Beautifully different stock images from Kintzing Licensing. But is the ad effective? We think, not! What do you think?


This Abandoned Cart Ad Stopped me In My Scrolling Tracks


We love this ad by Ad Roll. The benefit is clear and what we get is simple to understand.


Toyota Tacoma Ad Courtesy of Marketing Mingle Club


We love how this ad tells a story from the perspective of their ideal customer. This ad is for Toyota Tacoma and we found it on Marketing Mingle Club's Instagram feed.


The Most Generic Ad Ever Created


Let's do better at giving our ideal customers a good reason to join our Masterclasses. This ad by Growth Masters Summit says nothing to everyone (except perhaps Codie Sanchez's mother). Time to hire a new ads manager? #justsayin
