Ad Creation with AI: A Deep Dive

Introduction

The video explores how to create winning ads using AI, specifically Chat GPT-4o. The core idea is that AI can significantly improve ad performance (ROAS) if prompted effectively. Jacob Posel, an expert in creating visual content with Chat GPT-4o, shares his strategies and techniques.

Four Ad Examples and Prompts

The discussion revolves around four ad examples, each demonstrating different prompting techniques and use cases.

1. Jones Road Beauty Ad (Reference Image + Product Image):

   • Prompt: "Add this image to the top of the ad with the product image overlapping the bottom of the image and the heading and subheading below."
   • Process: An existing Jones Road Beauty ad was used as inspiration, combined with a product image from their website.
   • Outcome: Chat GPT-4o accurately followed the instructions, placing the woman's image at the top, overlapping the product image at the bottom, and adding the text below.
   • Key Takeaway: Using reference ads and product images simplifies the prompting process and ensures consistent, reliable ad creation.

2. Adidas Ad (No Reference Image):

   • Prompt: A detailed prose description of the desired image: "A female Runner is captured in mid stride running laterally in the foreground wearing her performance gear behind stands the Egyptian desert with the pyramids." Font type exo2 bold italic
   • Process: This example relies on a detailed text prompt without a reference image.
   • Outcome: A creative ad featuring a woman running with pyramids in the background, incorporating the Adidas logo.
   • Key Takeaway: For well-known brands like Adidas, Chat GPT-4o has sufficient understanding to generate creative ads based solely on text prompts.

3. AG1 Ad (Product Image + Reference Image):

   • Prompt: "Recreate this ad for AG1, adjust the background to better fit athletic green Style, change the price you can see over here to $110 SL out to $85 now and then I said generate the image"
   • Process: An existing ad for Rise was used as inspiration, combined with AG1 product imagery.
   • Outcome: A high-quality ad that closely resembles the reference ad but tailored to AG1's brand, including the correct pricing and copy.
   • Key Takeaway: Remixing existing ads is a common practice, and AI makes it more accessible and efficient.

4. Ridge Wallet Ad (Changing the Concept):

   • Prompt: "Swap it out and change it to a Christmas style ad"
   • Process: A Black Friday ad for a gunmetal Ridge wallet was transformed into a Christmas-themed ad with a green wallet.
   • Outcome: A Christmas-style ad with appropriate colors and imagery.
   • Key Takeaway: AI can easily adapt existing ads to different themes and holidays.

Sora: A Resource for Prompt Inspiration

Sora is highlighted as a valuable resource for finding prompt inspiration. It features an explore page where users can view images and their corresponding prompts. This allows users to understand how different prompts work and adapt them for their own needs. Sora is also noted to have less strict policy guidelines and better photo realism compared to other platforms.

Live Ad Creation Example: LCA (Late Checkout Agency)

A live ad creation example is demonstrated for LCA, a design agency specializing in AI interfaces.

1. Initial Prompt: "Generate a digital ad for LCA lay checkout agency LCA is a SWAT teamdesign agency only for the most interesting brands on the planet helping them with building AI first tools it only works with the best companies I have provided some screenshots from their website for you to use as inspiration the ad as well as a reference vintage Rolex ad as inspiration use this to capture the luxury Vibe of the company"

3. Outcome: An ad featuring a man pointing (later showing a watch) with the text "Leaders at billion dooll Brands choose LCA to Define their future."
