This episode highlights how founder story videos, street interviews, and podcast-style ads are significantly outperforming traditional approaches by building trust and demonstrating real-world product benefits. Focus on these dynamic formats to boost engagement and improve ROAS.

Experiment with multiple hooks: For every ad concept, test 3-10 different hooks to identify which resonate most effectively with your target audience.
