10 Facebook Ad Examples We Love

Facebook, aka Meta, ads have become a powerhouse tool for businesses to reach and engage with their target audience. With millions of users scrolling through their feeds daily, it’s crucial for brands to stand out among the sea of content.

At Socium, we understand the importance of creating impactful Facebook ad campaigns that not only grab attention but also drive meaningful results for our clients. Let’s dive into the world of Facebook ads examples and explore some winning examples that showcase the power of strategic advertising.

Video Ads: Captivating Audiences with Dynamic Content

Video ads can be a very effective format for Facebook/Meta advertising because they can vary across accounts and have a variety of objectives. With the ability to convey messages quickly and effectively, they offer a compelling way to engage with audiences on social media.

Take, for example, Nike’s iconic video ad campaigns, which combine stunning visuals with inspiring storytelling and brand building.

By showcasing their products in action and tapping into the aspirations of their target audience, Nike creates a powerful connection that resonates with viewers and encourages them to take the next step, which, in this case, is downloading their mobile app.

Carousel Ads: Maximizing Impact with Interactive Storytelling

Carousel ads are another effective format for capturing attention and driving engagement on Facebook. By allowing advertisers to showcase multiple images or videos within a single ad unit, carousel ads offer a versatile way to tell a story and highlight key product features or benefits.

For instance, clothing retailer Stately uses carousel ads to showcase a curated selection of outfits, allowing users to swipe through and discover their perfect style. By showcasing a variety of options and inviting interaction, Stately creates a personalized shopping experience that entices users to scroll through the various options and ultimately make a purchase. We love that with carousel ads, the user has to pause and scroll through an ad, driving interactivity that can lead to increased ad recall. We also have the ability to retarget based on engagement with each card in some instances of setup, which allows for more effective advertising.

CTA: Driving Action with Clear Calls-to-Action

A strong call-to-action (CTA) is essential for guiding users toward the desired action and maximizing conversions. Whether it’s encouraging users to “Shop Now,” “Learn More,” or “Sign Up,” a clear and compelling CTA can make all the difference in driving results.

For example, HubSpot uses straightforward CTAs in its Facebook ads to encourage users to download its latest branding guide. By offering valuable content and making it easy for users to take the next step, HubSpot effectively generates leads and nurtures relationships with potential customers. Another thing we love about CTAs is that they can be used in multiple areas of the creative, on the images, in the videos, in the copy, and as buttons.

Ad Copy: Crafting Compelling Messages that Resonate

In addition to captivating visuals, compelling ad copy plays an important role in grabbing attention and conveying key messages. It’s important to harness the power of persuasive language to drive action and achieve campaign objectives.

For example, ecommerce giant Shopify uses concise and impactful ad copy and fun emojis to highlight the benefits of their platform and encourage businesses to start selling online.

By focusing on how easy it is to use their platform (just three steps!), Shopify effectively persuades users to take the next step and explore their offerings.

Our Top 10 Facebook Ad Examples

1. Koio

What we love: Koio is using a trend from TikTok and Instagram called “girl math” to show the value of their product. When you market with current social media trends, your ads become more relatable and feel more organic in users’ feeds.

2. Catbird

What we love: Catbird’s ad combines sentimental messaging, “something personal to wear close to your heart,” with an upcoming holiday focused on appreciation and gratitude, Mother’s Day.

Additionally, this ad effectively draws in potential buyers by featuring unique selling points, such as the convenience of receiving the beautifully wrapped product ready for gifting.

3. Coterie

What we love: Coterie’s ad uses review-focused social proof to highlight the brand’s strengths and subtly differentiates it from competitors without directly disparaging them.

4. Chamberlain Coffee

What we love: Although Chamberlain Coffee is primarily known for its coffee (no surprise there!), this ad capitalize on the popularity of Matcha, which is a long-time trending drink across all social channels.

By using lowercase text and simple, conversational copy, they align with the everyday language of their ICP, which is Gen Z and Millennials.

5. Cocokind

What we love: Cocokind’s video ad cleverly utilizes user-generated content (UGC) to promote the product and highlight its availability at local Walmart stores, offering buyers the opportunity to shop in person.

Though the video is clearly an ad, it also has a lo-fi quality that makes it feel a little more organic and relatable within social feeds. 

6. Moon Juice

What we love: The ad creative is bold and provocative, testing the limits of what is allowed (and typically seen) on Meta platforms.

Complementing the striking creative, the ad copy is informative and to the point, focusing simply on the product highlights and names. 

7. Epres

What we love: How they used the headline space to highlight key product features effectively directs your attention directly to the “Shop Now” button. The copy is simple but calls attention to the pain points Epres solves.

Additionally, the video ad uses social proof from an extremely reputable trade (Who What Wear), reinforcing the product’s credibility and demonstrating it lives up to the hype.

8. Supergoop

What we love: Supergoop is already a well-known brand in skincare, but they strategically use their ads to differentiate between their core products and new releases, allowing the audience to easily choose the right product for their needs.

In their video ad, they use simple, straightforward text to highlight a major selling point: their sunscreen doesn’t feel like sunscreen.

9. Canopy

What we love: Known for its powerful and aesthetically pleasing humidifier, Canopy recently expanded its lineup to include a new item—a shower filter. To highlight this new product, they crafted video ads that combined straightforward text overlays and simple yet informative ad copy, effectively communicating the shower filter’s impact on health and beauty.

This level of clarity helps potential buyers easily grasp the product’s value, making the purchase easier to justify.

10. Reformation 

What we love: Known as the “it” brand on social media, Reformation does a great job of keeping their ads straightforward and effortless. They avoid overcomplicating their message or “trying too hard.” Instead, they maintain a simple approach that makes their advertising feel effortlessly cool.
