4 Ad templates
That made our clients thousands of dollars 👀💸

Think you need a full creative team to build high-performing ecom ads in 2025?

Think again...

Here’s how our ads team creates complete campaigns using AI alone.

We start with ChatGPT to identify customer pain points and product differentiators from reviews.

Next, we generate ad visuals using tools like Midjourney, DeepSeek, and Sora. Every image is tailored to our target audience.

Then we bring it all to life using Creatify or makeUGC. These platforms turn scripts into video ads without filming a thing.

The result is a complete set of static and video ads. Built in under an hour. Built to convert.

Most teams say, “We don’t have the resources for high-quality creative.”

The better question is, “Are we using the right tools?”

A smarter workflow will outperform a bigger team.

A car fire.
A viral video.
A $750M brand boom.

Stanley was just another old-school flask company.
Until one woman’s car burned down in Chicago.

Everything inside was destroyed.
Except one thing:
Her Stanley tumbler.

Still standing.
Still filled with ice.
Still holding strong.

She posted the video. It exploded.
Over 100 million views.
The internet took notice.

But here’s what Stanley did that changed everything.

The president stitched her video.
Offered to replace her car.
Turned an accident into a marketing masterclass.

By the end of 2023, Stanley had transformed into a $750M brand.

Not from an ad.
Not from a campaign.
From a single, unplanned moment.

Great marketers don’t always create the best moments.
They recognize them, and elevate them.

Free Coke → Sold out shelves
Simple challenge → Genius marketing

It wasn’t about giving away soda.
It was about creating craving.

Coca-Cola dropped a giant vending machine in Tokyo.
Push the button = Get a free Coke.
Sounds easy, right?

Except...
The button was 13 feet high.
Out of reach for nearly everyone.

People jumped.
Stretched.
Grabbed sticks.
Laughed.

And kept trying.
But no one could win.

Here’s the brilliance:
Coke never said it was easy.
They just made it feel possible.

And that feeling was enough.

Because when people gave up on the vending machine,
They walked straight into the shops nearby.
By the end of the day, shelves were cleared out.

That’s the power of a “near win.”
That’s how you turn curiosity into commerce.

Did a hot dog race just outperform traditional advertising?

Oscar Mayer turned heads with the Wienie 500—a two-lap showdown at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway featuring six customized Wienermobiles, each repping a different hot dog style.

It aired live on Fox Sports with full Indy 500-style commentary.

Here’s the problem with most marketing today:

It’s forgettable.
It’s built to interrupt, not entertain.
It disappears the moment the campaign ends.

Oscar Mayer did the opposite.

They made something absurd, fun, and perfectly timed for the moment.

They didn’t just broadcast content. They gave the internet something to remix.

Within hours, people were re-editing the race with real engine sounds and dramatic music—and those clips pulled in millions of additional views.

Want people to talk about your brand?

Stop trying to control every frame.

Start building moments people actually want to share.

Domino’s pizza sucked.
And they said it out loud.

Their crust? "Cardboard."
Their sauce? "Ketchup."
Sales were tanking.
Stock hit $3.85.

It wasn’t a secret.
It was a crisis.

But instead of hiding, they did something no one expected.

They aired the truth.
National campaign.
Real complaints.
CEO on TV saying, “You’re right.”

Then they got to work.
New crust. Better sauce. Real cheese.
Staff retrained. Stores revamped.

The result?

14.3% sales growth in one quarter.
130% stock surge in a year.
A total brand turnaround.

Not with spin.
But with honesty.

What do you think—would your brand ever do the same?

When you missed the WFH memo…

[BAD Marketing @BAD_Marketers]

NASA. The White House. Tesla. Apple. Even Coca-Cola.

All hacked by Pepsi.

No budget war. No complex tools. Just a clever HTML trick.

Here’s what happened...

Pepsi asked followers to paste a single line of code into their browsers.

In seconds, Pepsi’s message appeared on the world’s most impossible-to-reach websites.

No malware. No actual hacking. Just optical illusion marketing.

And the payoff?

- A viral stunt that gave ordinary users a sense of power
- A campaign that showed marketing doesn’t need millions
- A cold can of Pepsi as a thank-you

The result?

Pepsi didn’t just talk about hacking culture.
They made their audience part of it.

Because when your customer is the hero of the campaign?
You don’t need ads.
You need a movement.

AI isn't going to replace you.

But someone better at using AI?
They absolutely will.

Instead of resisting the shift, here’s how you can stay ahead in business:

- Use ChatGPT-4o to create dozens of static ads with one prompt
- Leverage Pippit to generate UGC-style content optimized for social
- Tap into https://t.co/QqRg2Vlmw0 to model your product photos without hiring talent

It’ll take a few hours to set up your stack.
But in just one week, you could be:

- Launching campaigns 10x faster
- Lowering your creative costs to nearly $0
- Outperforming competitors who are still “figuring it out”

Don’t say: "I want to stay relevant in marketing.”
Instead, say: "I’ll learn how to use one AI tool a day.”

Pick automation and optimization over fear and inaction.

“We’re gathered here today… to say goodbye to bad fries.”

Yes. That actually happened.

KFC Canada held a funeral for their fries.
Casket. Flowers. Mourners.
Even a live-streamed eulogy.

Why?

Because their fries sucked.
And their customers didn’t hold back.
Some even called them the “fry coffin.”

So what did KFC do?

They didn’t hide.
They leaned into the hate.
And made one of the boldest brand pivots in fast food history.

After burying the old fries (literally), they introduced their new, crispier, better-seasoned fries and turned public roastings into brand respect.

Why it worked:
→ They admitted the problem
→ Poked fun at themselves
→ Showed their audience: “We hear you”

It wasn’t just marketing...
It was accountability with a punchline.

More brands should own their flaws like this.

Your emails aren’t broken. They’re just boring.

Here’s what I mean...

They open with a polite “Hey there,”
…followed by a wall of text,
…ending in a half-hearted CTA no one remembers.

That’s not email marketing.
That’s a digital shrug.

We wanted more for our client...a military-owned apparel brand.

So we built emails that sounded like them.
Tough. Direct. No fluff.

Stuff like:
“If you’re anything like us, you ran out of space to store all your P-mags a long time ago.”

And guess what?

The copy hit.

The design popped.

The tests told us exactly what moved the needle.

Result? The campaign crushed.

No magic. No secrets. Just emails with a point of view.

Write like you mean it or don’t send it at all.

McDonald’s created an ad you could go to jail for removing...

Sounds wild, right? But it’s 100% true.

Back in 2012, California had a problem:
Its state flower—the California poppy—was vanishing.

To protect it, the state made it illegal to remove or disturb poppies in the wild.

McDonald’s saw an opportunity most marketers would overlook.

They quietly planted thousands of poppy seeds along a busy highway.

But they didn’t just scatter them...

They shaped them into a massive golden “M.”

Come springtime, the flowers bloomed.

And the iconic McDonald’s arches appeared in living color.

But here’s the kicker:

You can’t touch it
You can’t remove it
You can’t even mow it down

Because that would be a crime (punishable by up to 6 months in jail).

That’s not just clever. That’s strategic.

The best marketers don’t just think outside the box...

They find rules everyone else ignores and flip them into an advantage.

➟ Strategy > spend
➟ Insight > interruption

The most powerful use of AI in sports wasn't for data.
It was to expose our bias.

In 2023, Orange, a $35 billion French telecom company, noticed something glaring:

Women’s soccer had incredible talent.
But it didn’t get even a fraction of the attention men’s soccer received.

So they did something unexpected.

They released a highlight reel.
Mbappé. Griezmann.
Scoring goals. Owning the field.

Except they didn’t.
Using AI, Orange swapped their faces with top female players.

Same plays. Same brilliance.
The only difference was perception.

It worked.

15 million views
National TV coverage
A conversation the world needed to have

So what did Orange gain?

In an industry where every brand sounds the same, the real advantage is purpose.

People connect with meaning, NOT marketing.

They remember how you make them feel, not what you sell.

They sold $35 shoes for $600.

And no one blinked.

It wasn’t a luxury brand.
It wasn’t even a designer collab.

It was Payless.

But with one brilliant move,
they exposed the entire fashion industry.

They rebranded as “Palessi.”
Set up a boutique in a posh L.A. mall.
Invited fashion influencers.

And the reaction?

“This design is stunning. I’d easily pay $500.”

Here’s the twist:
They were Payless shoes all along.

No difference in the product.
Just the perception.

So what does this teach us?

That luxury is often just smart marketing in disguise.

A great product matters.
But if people believe it’s premium—they’ll pay for premium.

Branding isn’t fluff.
It’s leverage.

So if you think you're “too small” to charge more...
remember what Payless did.

Perception = Profit.

It’s IMPOSSIBLE to write high-converting emails if you’re speaking to everyone.

Instead, use these 7 audience segments that actually buy from your list.

Most creators and marketers treat their email list like it’s one big blob.
But that’s why their open rates flatline.
That’s why their CTAs get ignored.
And that’s why their launches underperform.

Truth is, your list isn’t “one audience.”
It’s seven unique mindsets...each with their own motivations, hesitations, and decision triggers.

When you match your message to the right segment:
- Your copy feels personal (even if it’s automated)
- Your offers land better
- And your revenue goes up (without needing more subscribers)

We broke down all 7 segments in this carousel.
And once you see them, you won’t unsee them.

Because great email marketing doesn’t come from writing better.

It comes from knowing who you’re writing to.
