Example #1 - Simpplr's Big Flex

Say what you will about waves and quadrants, but they still matter to many enterprise buyers.

So when Simpplr won the leader spot in all three — you know they had to let people hear it.

This ad is major validation flex that any enterprise buyer can send to their boss. And the CTA is great: "Discover Why"

→ See Simpplr’s powerful proof

Example #2 - Clear and Simple Differentiation

This ad works for one simple reason: in a single glance, you know exactly what the company does and why they’re different.

Spotted on the Toronto subway, it’s perfect for the channel — short, clear, and compelling.

There’s no confusion about why someone would choose this company for buying and selling real estate.

2% commission. It’s even right in their name!

→ Check out their website, or go ride the Toronto subway.

Example #3 - Objection Handling Hero

Objection handling is most effective when it’s proactive.

Slite does this immediately in their homepage hero.

By addressing a common concern—“there is no learning curve”—they speed up the sales process and reassure new potential buyers upfront.

Example #4 - Fun and Tactile Problem Section

This problem section is effective, entertaining, and unique. It captures the frustration marketers face when creating ads.

A video shows exactly how the product solves the issue, and the interactive box beside it offers a fun, tactile way for buyers to engage.

I haven’t seen anything like this before.

Example #5 - A Product Page Disguised as TOFU Content

This landing page feels like a top-of-funnel piece of content, but it's actually an impressive blend of demand gen, content, and use case marketing.

It’s packed with useful, data-backed tips on improving form performance — the exact use case being highlighted.

And all of the CTAs lead to one thing: signing up for Typeform.
