True Classic Does It Again

Two different styles of ads for men's shirts. Which one converts better?

Most ads scream for attention, but the best ones pull you in like a good story.

They make you nod along, maybe even laugh, and before you know it, you’re already picturing yourself using the product.

Today's breakdown is not just about what’s being sold, but how it’s being sold.

True Classic: The Dad Bod Transformation

Watch the ad here: The Dad Bod Transformation

This ad feels like a heartwarming family moment, not much like a sales pitch.

It starts with a relatable problem, a dad stuck in his old ways, wearing oversized, unflattering shirts.

Something many people recognize in their own families.

The line about "hiding the belly" taps into universal insecurity, making the product feel like a cheat code for looking better.

By framing it as a gift, the ad expands its reach.

It's not just for men shopping for themselves but for sons, daughters, and wives looking for the perfect present.

ICON: The Girlfriend-Approved Glow-Up

This ad nails relatable humor right from the start.

The “curfew” line is funny, playful, and instantly hooks the audience.

This ad subtly taps into social validation, making the product feel even more desirable.

And while the shirt looks high-end, the script reassures buyers that it’s actually comfortable and wearable.

Using humor and exaggeration to call out a common issue makes the ad feel fun and relatable, grabbing attention while subtly highlighting the need for a style upgrade.

The effortless upgrade to your ad is to frame the product as an effortless glow-up for your customers.
