Power of Creative/Ad Tactics
• Headline ( be aggressive, bold)
• Use images with a clear, uncluttered subject that
  align with interests and the ad copy
• Bold and relevant images to your audience
• Image borders (tactical – but really works!)



• Company logo ads – it depends
• Creative fatigue – be fresh (but not too fresh)
Good → Better → Best
