What is the Problem Agitation ad format?

You start by putting a spotlight on something frustrating your audience already feels — whether that's spending hundreds on supplements that don't work, scrolling job boards with no responses, or another pain point they've been silently grinding through. The tone is validating, not salesy, and the visuals often feel casual or UGC-ish to keep it relatable. Once the frustration is front and center, you position your product as the obvious fix they've been looking for.
