More about this formula
One thing to test: Make your own before/after in the same form: your product, a real-looking customer, an honest result.
What the pictures show: Smiling, relaxed people enjoying everyday or aspirational activities (beach, walking, socializing) to sell the benefit as improved quality of life.
On the networks: These are running on the networks right now, so a before/after in the same form is fair game. Keep it honest and no more extreme than the ones already running.

More about this formula
One thing to test: Photograph your product held in one hand against an everyday background.

A credible person explaining something lends authority without saying a word.

More about this formula
One thing to test: Show a real-looking specialist in their workplace, mid-explanation, not a celebrity or a stock smile.
What the pictures show: Studio- or documentary-style portraits of doctors, scientists, or serious subjects that lend credibility, trust, or a news-like tone to the claim.
On the networks: No celebrities or recognisable real people, and no fake news layouts.
A real ad using it that week · +9 more Close-up of the problem area
6 advertisers · up to 80 days · 24.4k+ sites
A close look at the problem makes readers check their own.

More about this formula
One thing to test: Show the same kind of close-up for the problem your product solves, at the same strength as the ads already running.
What the pictures show: Tight, tactile photos of the affected body part (ankle, foot, ear, skin, arm) that prompt recognition of the viewer’s symptom or condition.
On the networks: Close-ups like these are running right now, so the same kind of shot is fair game. Keep it no more graphic than the ones already running: nothing gory, nothing sexual.
