UGC Ads 

Magic Spoon refers to their consumers as spoon(ers), and the brand consistently reposts user-generated content via Instagram stories, creating a sense of community.

Influencer marketing plays a significant role in Magic Spoon's overall marketing strategy.

Here, they're leveraging dark posting, meaning the ads don't show up on the influencer's timeline, page, or story.

While dark posting emphasizes the user perspective, it's weakened by ad copy that seems to have been written by the brand itself in this instance.

This same copy is used across multiple ads, so it's worth experimenting with a more authentic headline and copy that reflects the influencer's voice.

Product

We love the vibrant use of pink and the inclusion of all four flavors.

Although the cereal takes center stage, the eye is naturally drawn to the boxes, which is exactly what you want. 👊

To enhance this further, Magic Spoon could have considered testing bullet points in the copy to break down each type of cereal. 

This could provide more information and help drive higher intent clickthroughs.

Social Proofing

This innovative approach to social proof isn't being used by enough brands yet.

Magic Spoon provided enough space for readers to comfortably digest the first paragraph of this Forbes article.

If your brand has been highlighted in a major publication, consider using this format yourself!

Detailed Reviews

Brands have experienced significant success by leading with a testimonial. The emojis effectively break up the text, and the “X” emoji, in particular, catches the eye.

However, be cautious with star emojis. Facebook doesn't allow fivestar emojis in a row, as they believe it implies fake reviews.

Educating the Users

Observe the seamless flow of information in this ad and how Magic Spoon integrates the benefits into a call to action.

Your eyes are naturally drawn to the bottom third of the creative, where the "Shop Now" CTA is strategically placed.

The headline, "Healthy Never Tasted Better," is also spot on.

While no ad type is flawless, each strategy demonstrated by Magic Spoon offers valuable tactics worth integrating into any paid advertising campaign.

It's important to remember that ads with compelling copy and vibrant colors are much more effective at capturing the attention of users who are quickly scrolling through their feeds.

Before launching your campaign, think carefully about the types of ads you want to run. Take the necessary time to craft your materials, and always engage in A/B testing to identify the most effective version.

Magic Spoon's advertising strategy is commendable for its creativity and effectiveness, serving as a great model for how to engage and attract customers in a crowded market space.
