What is the Whiteboard ad format?
Someone draws diagrams, arrows, or simple illustrations on a whiteboard while explaining a concept, usually capturing the hand and marker in frame to emphasize the lo-fi, educational feel. It's the visual language of a classroom or brainstorming session, which makes complex ideas feel approachable and builds trust through transparency. Brands use this when they need to break down how something works—software features, financial products, technical processes—without the polish that might make viewers tune out.
