WHAT MAKES THEM WORK

Social Media Ad Design Principles We Live By

Stop the scroll in 0.5 seconds — the first visual or line must be impossible to ignore.
Design for the thumb — every element must work beautifully on a phone held in one hand.
Sound-off first, always — 80%+ of social video is watched muted. Captions and visuals carry the message.
One clear message per ad — trying to say everything means the viewer remembers nothing.
Platform-native, not resized — an Instagram Story is not a LinkedIn post. We design for the environment.
Brand that feels inevitable — your ads should feel like a natural extension of who you already are.

Video vs Static Creative Strategy for Social Media Ads

🖼️
When Static Wins

🎬
When Video Dominates

We rigorously test static vs video on the same offer so you know exactly which format delivers better ROI for your specific audience.

❌ Weak or buried calls-to-action that don't tell people exactly what to do
