๐Ÿคฏ Woah ad of the week

AvantForm hits us with the most vivid examples from their CGI library. Just like a movie trailer, they showcase all the best moments they have on hand to create this ad we wish we could watch in theaters.

๐ŸŒˆ Color test ad of the week

CORKCICLE went down two different routes with these ads. They altered the bag colors, backgrounds, even the bottle and sunglasses to create distinct vibes between their posts. Such a contrast between the pair should help them determine whatโ€™s working and whatโ€™s not.

๐Ÿ“Š Feature test ad of the week

Hatch does an awesome job of testing two different types of ads. The first is full of features, and the other has only one. If your product has a lot to offer, itโ€™s wise to experiment and find out what resonates more with the audience.

We love the watercolor style that Join Real used. Their brand has a welcoming, playful vibe, which is perfect for this kind of service. Unique branding drives performance as much as unique concepts do.
