Welcome to some of my past work examples regarding social media ad copywriting and ad copywriting in general. This is not in alphabetical order.

Sense (Linkedin Ads):

Sense is an automated AI-driven recruitment and engagement platform. Around the time I created this ad for them, they had raised $50 million from SoftBank, one of the most well-known venture capital firms in Asia.

I know this campaign cost somewhere around $300,000-$400,000 in Linkedin ad spend. From what I was told, the campaign led to millions in revenue.

TAO (Google Ads campaign):

I created this ad concept for TAO in 2019, with the tagline “Arouse Your Senses” and the CTA “Make a reservation.” TAO Group Hospitality is one of the most well-known hospitality companies in the world, operating over 70 branded locations in 20 markets.

Collective (IG Ads):

Collective is a “back-office” solution for freelancers and entrepreneurs. I wrote the following copy for their Instagram Ads campaign:

Beacon (IG Ads)

Beacon is a company that helps small business owners sell their Texas-based businesses. This copy was used for their natioInstagram ads campaign, and I believe is still utilized to this day:

Butcher Box (Twitter/X Ad)

Sticker Mule $1 Campaign (Twitter/X Ad)

Edgier copy for Sticker Mule, a fun custom printing company with lots of high-profile Fortune 500 clients. I’m told that this 2023 campaign was their most successful ad campaign to date.

These were ads created for Woodhaven, a Michigan-based log/lumber company that prides itself on being able to add “log cabin charm” to pre-existing homes/businesses or new homes/businesses.

Crowe LLP (Tax Advisory):

DXTel (Internet Service Providers):

I did some Facebook ad campaign work for DXTel, a South Carolina-based marketing agency focused on executing marketing campaigns for rural broadband providers. I was told that the company wanted to execute a “Slow Animals” campaign.

The concept was cheeky, where “slow” animals protest the broadband provider because of its speed. Here’s the copy I created for the Slow Animals campaign, which includes illustration instructions for their designers.

Ad #1:

Illustration: An angry snail or a row of angry snails holding up sign(s) that say: “It’s too fast!”

https://www.alamy.com/angry-snail-illustration-vector-on-white-background-image367226204.html

Subheader: Switch to fiber and never have to deal with your Internet moving at a “snail’s pace” again.

CTA: [Speed Up]

Ad #2:

Illustration: A yawning and cranky sloth in pajamas holds a sign saying: “Speed = Overrated”

https://www.istockphoto.com/vector/monday-morning-blues-gm684485980-125805797

Subheader: Sorry, Sloths. We Disagree. Get blazing-fast internet speeds with fiber from [BRAND].

CTA: [Speed Up]

Ad #3:

Illustration: Turtle with a sign that reads “Slow and Steady Wins the Race…” (this acts as the header)

Subheader: … unless your internet crashes at the finish line. Come out of your shell and enjoy light-speed Internet from [BRAND].

CTA: [Speed Up]

Ad #4:

Illustration: the turtle, snail, and sloth hold overlapping picketing signs (“Slow Is Good”, “Not So Fast”, “Take It Slow”)

Subheader: We admit. Fiber’s blazing fast speeds aren’t for everyone.

CTA: [I Want Faster Internet]

DXTel FB Ads:

DXTel is a broadband marketing campaign that wanted to create a humorous campaign centering around “slow animals” protesting how fast a fiber provider’s connection was. I came up with the following copy, later utilized for billboards and TV campaigns.

#1:

Illustration: An angry snail or a row of angry snails holding up sign(s) that say: “It’s too fast!”

https://www.alamy.com/angry-snail-illustration-vector-on-white-background-image367226204.html

Header: No More Snail Speeds

Subheader: By delivering faster speeds than ever, we’ve made snails very upset. Get real speed and support and never have to deal with your Internet moving at a “snail’s pace” again.

CTA: [Faster Is Better]

#2:

Illustration: A yawning and cranky sloth in pajamas holds a sign saying: “Speed = overrated.”

https://www.istockphoto.com/vector/monday-morning-blues-gm684485980-125805797

Header: Sorry To Sloths Everywhere

Subheader: Embrace your inner sloth on your own time — not when it’s time to get things done. Switch to fiber and enjoy the kind of speed and resilience that makes you realize “slow” was never in style.

CTA: [No More Sloth Speeds]

#3:

Illustration: An upset tortoise with a silver medal around their neck, holding a sign saying: “Ban Fast Internet”

(Next to a laughing hare with a gold medal?)

https://www.istockphoto.com/vector/cartoon-angry-tortoise-character-illustration-gm1187050893-335162886

Header: Slow and Steady Wins The Race…

Subheader:…But let’s be honest, that’s just an old fable trying to prove a point. Plus, we doubt he (she) ever had to deal with deadlines or Zoom calls.

Either way, our fiber connection makes for the perfect storybook ending. (not sure if this fits)

CTA: [Fuel Your Career With Fiber]

#4:

Illustration: An elephant with their trunk wrapped around a picket sign saying, “Let’s take things slow.”

https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/cartoon-3d-elephant-wizh-a-blank-sign-gm518568821-49200450

Header: The Elephant In The Room…

Subheader…Is your employees are wondering why bigger files are so slow to upload. “Taking it slow” might work for dating, but it’s irrelephant when it comes to Internet speeds.

CTA: [Upgrade Your Internet…]
