How to make a sticky, funny ad?

Humour is a subjective perception. Not every joke would be appropriate for a specific audience and business. At the same time, people get to know your product from the advertising, which should stick in their heads, create a trust or – at least, make them smile. When choosing funny phrases for your next ad, keep these recommendations in mind.

# Support the idea. Whether you spend millions on video or TVC production will be insignificant as long as the content is disconnected from the core message of ​​the brand or product. The focused process of writing, compatible with the concept of ​​your service, does half of the work. So, your approach should be clear and brief.

# Start with a hook. Like fishing, you need to use a hook to attract your audience. The same concept works in marketing. Your hook can be a quote, argument, case, incredibly locking offer or even a graphic element. “Did somebody say McDonald’s?” is a fantastic example of “hooking” consumers.

# Use striking phrases. Maybe your message is something you would usually never say, that sounds absurd, and the dose of humour caresses the clients smile. Think for example: “The heavier you are, the harder it is to be kidnapped. Eat a cake. Stay safe” as a sign in a pastry shop. Or “You can never be too light” – a phrase in a grocery store. Such sentences embed in clients memories eternally.

# Peek distinctive moments. No one will tell you the plot of a movie over and over again. What stays is a phrase, an event, a situation, something specific, an abstract from the whole scenario. In the commercial, a mini version of the feature film, you should have a similar unforgettable story. Crucial is the viewers imagine themselves in the characters shoes.

Here are some examples of fun, memorable ads that make you smile.
