Men’s apparel ad
If you want to see this ad that Under 5’10 is running, you can click here
The Hook
Look at the crop.
It's just a waist and a hand, zipped in tight on plain gray pants.
No face, no full body shot, no model striking a pose. That tight crop feels like a phone photo, not an ad, and that's exactly why your thumb stops on it.
The Reader
This is for a guy who has hemmed pants his whole life.
He has stood in a fitting room and watched fabric pool at his ankles. He is tired of brands that size for someone six inches taller than him and call it "regular."
The tag in the corner, UNDER 5'10, speaks straight to him before he even reads the headline.
The Proof
The stitching on the pocket is sharp and visible, no loose threads, no wrinkles pulling wrong.
The fabric sits flat and clean across the hip, which tells a shorter guy this was actually cut for his frame, not chopped down from a taller size.
There's no logo shown, no fabric callout, no fit numbers.
That's a gap. The photo has to do all the proving on its own, and it mostly does, but a brand name or a size chart would close it tighter.
The Slide
Your eye lands on the tag first, UNDER 5'10, small but placed alone in open space.
Then it drops down the seam of the pants, following the hand as it zips the pocket.
That zipper pull is the only motion in the frame, so it drags your eye right to the bold white headline stacked on the right. Four short lines, one word per line, and the eye reads it top to bottom like steps on a ladder.
The Offer
There is no price, no discount, no link in this ad.
This is brand work, built to plant one idea in a shorter guy's head: pants finally made for him exist.
The value math lives in the promise instead of a price tag. No more hemming, no more guessing, no more buying pants that almost fit.
The Story
The story is one guy, mid morning, getting dressed and moving with it.
He's not modeling, he's living, and the photo catches him mid motion like a candid.
The buyer who sees this doesn't just buy pants, he joins the guys who stopped settling for ill fitting clothes made for someone taller.
He becomes the guy who found the brand that gets it.
The Brain Trick
Identity is doing the work here, wrapped around a specific number.
Every guy under 5'10 has felt invisible to sizing charts built around a taller average.
Seeing that exact height called out feels like being picked out of a crowd. It's not "petite" or "short," it's a hard number, and hard numbers feel true.
Steal This
Pull one number that splits your buyer from the crowd and put it alone in the corner of the frame.
Crop tight on the product in use, not a full body shot, so it reads like proof, not a pose.
Stack a short headline in bold white, one punchy word per line, so it reads like steps down a staircase.

Seminar and coaching ad
If you want to see this ad that Dianetics is running, you can click here
The Hook
The headline hits first.
Is Your Mind the Key to Happiness?
It's a question, not a claim, and questions make you answer in your head before you can scroll past.
Under it sits a full room of people, leaning in, listening to a man behind a podium. A packed room does more work than any tagline could.
The Reader
This is for someone who has read the books and tried the apps and still feels stuck.
They already believe happiness starts in the head, they just haven't found the room that proves it.
They're tired of vague advice from people who never show their face or their crowd.
This ad shows a real room full of real people, and that's the thing that makes a skeptical reader lean in instead of scrolling.
The Proof
The room is full, chairs all filled, no empty seats in the shot.
There's a quote on the wall behind the speaker, small but present, the kind of detail a real venue has and a stock photo doesn't.
The gold medallion on the back wall reads like a brand mark, though it's never explained here, so a first time viewer won't know what it stands for.
That's a gap.
No name, no number of attendees, no logo up top. The room alone has to carry the trust, and it mostly does.
The Slide
Your eye starts on the red headline because it's white on red and sits at the very top.
Then it drops straight into the room, scanning the backs of heads until it lands on the speaker standing at the podium.
From there it slides down to the film strip curling across the bottom, and that strip pulls your eye left to right like a filmstrip is built to do.
Each piece hands you off to the next, headline to room to speaker to story.
The Offer
There's no price, no date, no link visible in the image itself.
This is an awareness ad, built to get a curious click rather than close a sale on the spot.
The value math is implied instead of stated. Answer a question about your own happiness, in exchange for one click.
The Story
The story is a room full of strangers who walked in stuck and are sitting there open, listening, changing.
The film strip at the bottom turns that into scenes, a baby, a couple, a landscape, snapshots of a life being lived differently.
The buyer who clicks doesn't just book a seminar, they picture themselves as the next person in that room, catching whatever the crowd already caught.
The Brain Trick
Social proof is carrying this ad.
A full room says something worked here before you ever showed up.
When people see other people already convinced, they assume there's a reason and they want to be let in on it.
That packed room is doing more convincing than any line of copy could.
Steal This
Shoot your event from the back of the room so the crowd is what sells it, not the stage.
Open with a question your reader already argues with themselves about, not a statement.
Close the visual with a story device, a filmstrip, a scrapbook, a slideshow, something that turns your product into scenes from a life instead of a service.

Roofing and exterior renovation ad
If you want to see this ad that Potter Roofing & Exteriors is running, you can click here
The Hook
Two houses sit side by side, same angle, same driveway, same tree.
One has a dull gray roof and tired siding.
The other has a fresh brown roof and warm tan siding that looks brand new.
That side by side is the hook. You don't need a headline to know something changed, you can just see it.
The Reader
This is for a homeowner who has looked at their own roof and felt that little pinch of embarrassment next to the neighbor's newer place.
They've probably gotten a quote before and worried it was a scam or a rush job.
They're tired of ads that promise big work with nothing to back it up. Seeing one real house, shot the same way twice, is the kind of proof that quiets that worry fast.
The Proof
The BBB A+ rating sits bottom left, plain and easy to spot.
Two Readers Choice badges sit bottom right, dated 2018 and 2019, plus a 2024 Choice Award badge next to them.
Celebrating 25 Years sits up top in script, next to a logo built like a little house, roof and window and all.
That stack of badges, dates, and years in business is doing real work here, it tells a nervous buyer this isn't a fly by night crew.
The Slide
Your eye opens on the logo top left, then slides right to the Celebrating 25 Years script, which sets the tone before you even see the houses.
Then it drops down into the before photo, dull and gray, and slides right into the after photo, warm and updated.
From there your eye drops to the phone number and website sitting big and bold in the middle, right where you just finished comparing the two homes.
The Offer
There's no price or discount shown here.
This is proof driven advertising, built to earn a phone call rather than close a sale in the ad itself.
The value math is simple even without a number attached. Your dull, aging home on the left, or your neighbor's warm, updated home on the right, one phone call apart.
The Story
The story is one house, one family, one before and after.
The buyer looking at their own tired roof sees a version of their own home living on the right side of that white line instead of the left.
They don't just buy new siding, they buy back a certain pride in their house, the kind that makes you glance at it while pulling into the driveway.
The Brain Trick
Specificity mixed with social proof is what makes this land.
A real before and after, shot the same way, feels more honest than any rendering or stock photo.
The awards and years in business back that feeling up with numbers instead of just a promise.
Together they turn a normal roofing ad into something a cautious homeowner actually believes.
Steal This
Shoot your own before and after from the exact same angle, same time of day if you can manage it.
Stack your real badges, ratings, and years in business in one corner instead of scattering them.
Put your phone number big and bold right between the two photos, right where the eye lands after comparing them.
