In this episode, Joel and Martha discuss the unconventional truths of advertising success. They explore how sometimes the most impactful ad campaigns defy traditional brand guidelines, showing that a raw, unpolished ad can often outperform a meticulously designed one. Learn why grabbing attention is crucial and how the effectiveness of your ad depends more on stopping the scroll than on perfecting your copy. Plus, they discuss the financial side of customer acquisition, emphasising the need to align your ad spend with your business goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

The ‘ugly ad’ as a concept does stop scroll.
Sometimes an ad that looks sh*t will perform better than an ad that looks ultra-polished because it grabs people’s attention.
If you can’t stop the scroll with your ad, then it doesn’t matter how good your copy is because nobody will ever read it.
What would you be willing to pay if you could walk into a warehouse and buy your customers off the shelf? Ultimately if the answer is £1,000 and you want 20 new customers that year, you need to find £20,000 for your advertising.
