This alarm clock raised $254,000 on Kickstarter.

This creative is such a no-fluff ad and I’m here for it.

The hook, "This is an alarm clock that I made," is a great way to capture attention immediately.

Its raw and genuine nature compels you to listen to the speaker.

The fact that the camera shakes, indicating he's holding it himself, adds a relatable, human touch.

As marketers, we often overcomplicate things in pursuit of innovation, but in reality, the simpler the ad, the more effective it is at converting.

If you own a SaaS tool in the marketing sector, this ad is worth watching.

The main feature of this creative piece is its editing.

The flow is exceptional, and the script is direct and concise.

It effectively combines the main speaker with brief screen recordings demonstrating the tool's functionality.

While it’s hard to explain your SaaS tool in an ad, remember to keep your ad creatives as simple as possible and straight to the point.
