    High-Performing Ad Creative Patterns

    Proven creative patterns that consistently outperform

    Based on analysis of thousands of web3 ads, these patterns consistently outperform:

    • • •
    1. Comparison/Contrast

    "[Your protocol] vs. [competitor] - X% lower fees, Y% higher yields"

    Why it works: Directly addresses switching consideration, gives concrete reason to try

    2. Specific Numbers

    "Earn 12.4% APY on USDC" not "Earn high yields"

    Why it works: Specificity creates credibility, gives users something to evaluate

    3. Risk Mitigation

    "Start with $10 to test. No minimum deposit."

    Why it works: Lowers barrier to trial, acknowledges user concerns

    4. Social Proof

    "Join 45K users earning..." or "Trusted by Aave, Curve, and..."

    Why it works: Reduces perceived risk, validates choice

    5. Time-Based Urgency

    "Earn 20% APY for first 30 days" not "Limited time offer!"

    Why it works: Creates real deadline without feeling manipulative

    6. Problem-Solution

    "Tired of high gas fees? Trade on [L2] for $0.15 per swap"

    Why it works: Resonates with known pain point, offers clear solution
