Reduce Your Advertising Costs by Making TV-Ads for Facebook

Have you ever noticed the ads that run during Daytime TV? They're always super low budget and not very engaging or entertaining. They're effective, otherwise companies wouldn't be running them, but I thought, "why can't we make ads that are just as effective but also entertaining?".

This is one of my latest creations, I'd love to get your guys' feedback:

Particularly after the statement of their product manager against Facebook and Instagram. I am not sure what's it future so it is better to believe on TV ads.

      We hire the actor, do a bunch of editing in post, and then go live.

      Our goal is really to iterate as much as we can to take the learnings we get from successful facebook ads and insert them into the copy we're using
