CopyDat Marketing Consult’s Post

The Value of Listening "Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply." – Stephen M. R. Covey Imagine this: you’re at a meeting with a marketing agency, excited to discuss your brand’s vision and goals. But as you start sharing, you notice the consultants are nodding along, waiting for their turn to speak, rather than truly engaging with your story. And you can always tell... Frustrating, right? At CopyDat, we believe in a different approach. When we meet with a new client, we come with genuine curiosity and interest in what they have to say. We actively listen, taking cues and asking questions that dig deep into the heart of their needs. We don’t just hear words; we actively listen to understand their unique challenges and aspirations. This means diving deep into their brand story, asking thoughtful questions, and uncovering the nuances that set their business apart. Through our inquisitive approach, we tap into the core of our clients' needs... and there's always that 'AHA' moment! It's such a refreshing experience seeing that we get them. From there, we create strategies that precisely align with their goals because we listened to understand their brand voice, target audience, and market positioning. Every insight gained from these conversations shapes our creative process. Whether it’s developing a comprehensive #content #strategy, crafting compelling ad #copy, or designing a captivating #brand experience, our solutions are always bespoke, reflecting the unique essence of each client.

Hell No! This Bible App Ad is Devilishly Clever Hey there! We know how much Sundays mean to folks, especially here in Ghana. Church, family time, and a little humor to keep the spirits high. So, we stumbled upon this gem of an ad and couldn’t resist sharing. The Bible App's ad reads, "Zero Stars, Would not recommend - Satan." Now, that’s some clever marketing! Why does this ad work so well? Let’s chat about it. First off, it’s hilarious and unexpected. Seeing a "review" from Satan himself saying he wouldn't recommend the Bible App is pure genius. It grabs your attention and gives you a good chuckle – the perfect mix for a memorable ad. Then there's the clear message. By using the ultimate bad guy’s negative review, it cheekily underscores just how good the app must be. It's a funny way to highlight the positive without being preachy (pun intended). And let’s not forget the shareability. This kind of humour makes people want to share it with friends and family. It’s the kind of thing that pops up in your social feed, makes you laugh, and then you hit share. Viral gold, right? Lastly, it’s bold. This ad stands out because it’s not afraid to be different. It takes a risk with its message, and that makes it refreshing and memorable. We’re all about ads that push boundaries and use humour to make a point. The Bible App's ad is a masterclass in doing just that. So, if you're ready to infuse your brand with creativity and a bit of humour, let's make your message as unforgettable as this one. Happy Sunday! #MarketingStrategy #AdAnalysis #CopyDat #HumorInAdvertising #CreativeMarketing #WeekendVibes

Fast Food Meets Fast Thinking: McDonald's AI Genius Ad Principle: The Obvious Choice McDonald's recently pulled off a brilliant move in advertising by cleverly leveraging AI. With the buzz on whether AI is a force for good or bad, they found a fun and engaging way to join the conversation. They asked AI a simple question: "Which is the most iconic burger?" And of course, the answer was the Big Mac. The subtext? "A.I'm lovin' it." Got it? 😉 Let's dissect this piece of advertising genius: 1. Embracing Trends: McDonald's masterfully leverages the current fascination with AI. By asking AI which burger is the most iconic, they position themselves at the cutting edge of technology while maintaining a playful tone. 2. Witty and Fun: The ad doesn't just ask a question; it delivers a clever punchline. "A.I'm lovin' it" is a perfect blend of their classic slogan with a modern twist, making the ad memorable and shareable. 3. Reinforcing Brand Legacy: By having AI select the Big Mac, McDonald's reinforces the burger's legendary status. It's a subtle reminder of the Big Mac's enduring popularity and iconic place in fast-food culture. 4. Strategic Messaging: This ad isn't just about AI; it's about trust and tradition. In a world where AI is often met with skepticism, McDonald's uses it to validate their well-established product, combining innovation with familiarity. At CopyDat, we love ads that make us smile and think. McDonald's shows us that great marketing isn't just about the product—it's about joining the conversation and having a little fun along the way. It exemplifies how to merge contemporary trends with classic brand messaging, creating a powerful and effective campaign. We love dissecting such brilliant ads because they remind us that great advertising is not just about selling a product but about telling a story, joining a conversation, and, most importantly, having fun with it.

"AI Took My Job... to the Next Level!" This ad by Fiverr has caught our attention! It's a brilliant example of the Handbrake Turn principle in advertising. Here’s why it works and what we can learn from it: 1. Attention-Grabbing Headline The phrase "AI took my job" immediately captures attention. It's a provocative statement that taps into a common fear about technology and automation. 2. Unexpected Twist The subtext, "to the next level," flips the narrative on its head. It transforms a negative perception into a positive one, showcasing AI as an enhancer, not a replacer. 3. Memorable Impact This ad leaves a lasting impression by using the power of contrast. It starts with a shock and ends with a surprise, making it memorable and impactful. Why It Matters We understand the power of such advertising principles and the Handbrake Turn is just one of many strategies we employ to create compelling, effective ads. CopyDat specialises in creating ads with bold headlines and clever subtexts to surprise, engage, and leave a lasting impact. In fact, we have three 'cooking'... to share with you soon 😉 So, Ready to T(S)ell Your Story? CopyDat! #Advertising #CreativeStrategy #CopyDat #MarketingStrategy #AdvertisingPrinciples #CreativeAds

Ready to Capture Attention? Start with a Surprising Question. Question headlines often get a bad rap and for good reason, sometimes. We've all seen those question headlines that miss the mark. They’re either too obvious (“Do you like breathing?”) or just plain boring (“Do you wish your cheap shoes didn’t fall apart?”). But the best ones? They’re the questions that catch you off guard and make you think. They grab your attention and don’t let go. Take this old ad, for example, which nailed it with an unexpected question. It's all about making the simple question a powerful tool again. It’s all about making people stop, think, and want to know more. Ready T(S)ell Your Story.
