Ad #2. Burger King

A bowl with keys and change

In this Ad creative below, We can see that there is some change in a bowl along with some car keys and postcards. This is a sight at many households where people have similar bowls around the house or usually at the front door to house these things, now we can also see that there is some change in the bowl. This change is something that people don't usually care for too much.But this one sight of the bowl hits people with familiarity and connectivity as everyone has bows like this around the house, What's beautiful about this ad is that Burger king very smoothly connects the remaining change with their food, what this means is that "YOU" can get a CRISPY CHICKEN for THE COINS YOU LEAVE NEXT TO YOUR CAR KEYS.

Volkswagen uses a big picture of their car along with a single word "Lemon" the single word headline was dreaded by copywriter of that time, but Volkswagen embraced the single word headline as it did wonders to catch people's attention.The ad creative has information about the quality control process at the company's factories and in the end it says "We pluck the lemons, you get the plums" hinting to the fact that each and every car of Volkswagen is perfect and checked thoroughly.

Ad#5. Fiverr

A woman standing

Fiverr released this Ad at the peak of the A.I hysteria, especially within the creative people where they feared that A.I or artificial intelligence would steal their job and put them out of work.Here Fiverr uses a bold headline to get people's attention, now the headline worked because it somehow confirmed the people's beliefs of A.I taking their job. Which is the biggest reason why people would stop and look at their As. Now the most beautiful part about this Ad is that just below the attention grabbing headline we have some small text that says "to the next level". The brand first confirmed the people's fear and then instantly challenged it, making it a remarkable and memorable Ad.
