The 9 most creative social media ads I've collected this week:

1. World Wildlife Foundation Image
2. Oats Overnight

Principle: Turning Sh*t into Sugar

Oats ran an ad with hilarious bad reviews.

They close with the tagline: "Find out why 1 million happy customers disagree".
3. CRAFTD

Principle: Meme announcement > Boring sale announcement Image
4. Ryze

Principle: User interface hacking

This looks like the customer's to do list -- and then they realise it's an ad.

Bonus point: Notice how they left the time and battery to make it extra realistic. Image
5. Theragun

"If you want to put your marketing on steroids, reverse engineer it from the group chat message you want people to send" - @george__mack Image
6. Finimize

Finimize rode the wave and started running Threads as ads. Image

8. Athletic Greens

Principle: Classical conditioning

Your brain sees this screen and wants to take action. Image
9. Ryan Reynolds - HP

If HP wrote a boring script for them to read, it would've got 0.1% the engagement this advert got.
