Hey! If Frontify hired me to create an ad, I'd send them this: Now, I wanna show you my process, step-by-step, including the prompts I used. Step 1: Understand the ProductFrontify allows you to create a library with your brand guidelines, assets, and design templates. Step 2: Find Pain Points Let's try ChatGPT's smartest model: Deep Research. I base my prompt on Dan Kennedy’s 10 profiling questions: And 14 minutes later, ChatGPT hands me this beautiful report. I learn that brand managers lose sleep trying to keep their brand assets consistent. So I decide to focus on a specific pain point: inconsistent design. Step 3: Visualize the Pain I want my ad to stand out, but when I Google “inconsistent design,” I find some pretty boring visuals: But when I look into the fashion industry, things get interesting. Step 4: Write the Headline and Value Line Now, let's zoom in on the line under the logo. Big brands usually put a tagline there. But for software companies, I prefer a ‘Value Line' that explains what the product does. Step 5: Recreate the Image I like my visual, but there's a problem. So I upload it to GPT and ask it to write an "image replica prompt": And I get this nice prompt: I change some details because I don’t want it to be too similar, and play around with GPT's Image Generator for a while. And here's the final ad: You made it! 🕺If you want my image replica prompt and another bonus prompt I use to polish my copy, reply "prompt," and I'll send them to you :) Talk soon, P.S. If your B2B ads need a creative boost, check out my course, Boring Products, Fun Ads. Here's what Nik from HubSpot said:
"Boring Products, Fun Ads is an incredible course. There's honestly nothing out there like it. I think a lot of the other offerings end at the surface level.
This course helps you dive deep, helps you with idea generation, helps you just really get started and go all the way through from ideation to execution.
And Shlomo has done this really interesting thing, condensing down an entire portfolio, school education, all the great books, all the tips and tricks into a course that's very digestible, into a format that you can use every day.
It's helped me come up with ideas and get to writing a lot faster."
