Save an interesting ad to study later
Brady Snow: I just saw an ad for the second time, and I think it’s a sign that I break this ad down. Normally, I review digital products, like a coaching program or some kind of software or some kind of online course. But today, we’re going to review an ad for a physical product. This ad was great because it got to the point of the problem so fast. I always think that’s impressive when you can do that. It’s pretty much what you got to do these days. Let’s take a look at this.
I just saw this ad, so I bookmarked it with my TubeSift Bookmarker. This is it right here. But just in case you’re not familiar with the TubeSift Bookmarker, you can install this free Chrome extension and bookmark the ads that you see, and refer to them later. You just go to Google and type in TubeSift Bookmarker. It’s going to pull it up for you here. You can just click this, and you can just install it. It’s completely free. You’re going to be able to use this feature here. This is the interface. This is the ad. I bookmarked it. If you don’t bookmark the ads, you can refer back to the last 50 ads that you have seen. I’ve seen a lot of different ads here, different kinds of stuff. But this is the ad right here, so I can just click it. Then, it’s going to open for me, and I’m going to be able to watch it again. Let’s look at this hook.
Maggie Q: Can eating sweet potatoes make us look younger? That’s correct. This amazing potato actually can make us look younger because-
Brady Snow: Look at that. It’s been six seconds, and they talk about qualifying the viewer, anyone who wants to look younger, and then they talk about the solution right there. They’re talking about a sweet potato. Look at it. It’s within six seconds. It’s already hooked a lot of people: anyone who wants to look younger/is worried about aging. Basically, skincare, your appearance… You hooked those kinds of people there. Then, they present the solution, and you’re curious. Because a sweet potato. What’s that guy do with this? Let’s learn more.
Maggie Q: Because it is very rich in amino acids-
Brady Snow: It’s rich in amino acids.
Maggie Q: …that allow us to produce collagen.
Brady Snow: Produces collagen.
Educate your audience with your ad
Maggie Q: The biggest problem with collagen is we’re told it can be absorbed into the body. We’re taking animal collagen. But the protein is actually too big to be absorbed by the human body. We’re not the same thing.
Brady Snow: Look at that. We’re getting educated so much right here. This looks like a pretty long ad.
Maggie Q: The focus should be on producing it and absorbing it.
Brady Snow: It’s very educational. You want to produce collagen. You don’t want to absorb collagen. You can watch this whole ad if you want if you use the bookmarker. You go through. They have a lot of education about having good skincare, that kind of stuff. But I wanted to see other ads from this channel to see what hooks they’re using because this one has 24,000 views. It must be working pretty well. ActivatedYou is the name of that YouTube channel.

He’s he is also a fighter pilot, again, or coach. But here are all the ads. I can just click play. I can watch the other angles that they’re running on different ads.
Maggie Q: I don’t eat salads. And I know that sounds crazy because it’s like, “You must eat salads.” But I would get really bloated.
Brady Snow: Okay. Interesting hook there. Different audience. Maybe they have a different product. But if I want to see where they’re pushing traffic to, then I can just click this. It looks like it’s ActivatedYou: our special internet-only offer to first-time customers. Look at this: wellness products, health, and adaptogen blend. I take adaptogen mushrooms.
