Here's how to unlock this winning approach:

โ–ถ๏ธ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ณ ๐—”๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ which of these four pillars are your strengths vs weaknesses
โ–ถ๏ธ ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ณ๐˜† any weak pillar and turn your weaknesses into strengths

Few advertisers ensure there is strong alignment across each. Here's a few ways to think about this alignment.

โ–ถ๏ธ ๐—”๐—ฑ + ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—น๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ - make sure the messaging of your ads drives traffic to a landing page or webpage that speaks the same language and matches the same tone (create matching funnel stages to prevent disjointed experiences)

โ–ถ๏ธ ๐—”๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ + ๐—”๐—ฑ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—น๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ - creative format diversity is critical to reach more unique people and prevent high ad frequency (especially when using broad audiences)

I know its tiring to hear โ€œsynergy" and "one plus one is three" but this aligned-4-pillars approach is absolutely the secret to have killer ads that perform 20-30% better.
