# Ad summary
The ad features a bald man in a black "ROAS" t-shirt explaining a marketing system called "Larger Market Formula" to help businesses get more clients and sales. He uses humor, analogies, and a fast-paced delivery to highlight the common mistakes businesses make in marketing and positions his book "Sell Like Crazy" as the solution, offering it for free.
# Brand positioning
The brand, ROAS, is presented as an expert authority in online marketing and sales. It aims to occupy the mind of business owners and marketers as the go-to solution for acquiring clients and increasing sales efficiently. The brand aligns with values of directness, efficiency, and a no-nonsense approach to business growth, pushing against traditional, less effective marketing strategies. Its positioning is primarily functional, focusing on concrete results like increased sales and lower costs, but also touches on emotional aspects like avoiding frustration and gaining freedom. The ad implies a premium, results-driven approach.
# Product
The product is a "selling system" and a "bestselling book" titled "Sell Like Crazy: How to Get as Many Clients, Customers and Sales as You Can Possibly Handle" by Sabri Suby. It is for business owners, marketers, and anyone struggling to acquire customers online. The ad claims the system is "much quicker, easier and faster than anything you've seen before" and that "everything becomes cheaper, usually a lot cheaper" once implemented. Specifically, it promises that "your cost per click drops, conversion rates increase, leads are cheaper, and as a result your cost to acquire a customer is cheaper, much cheaper." The book reveals "every little piece of the system." The ad addresses the purchase barrier of cost by offering the book for free. The ad emphasizes that the system helps businesses target the "97% of prospects outside of the top of the pyramid" who are not actively looking to buy but can be converted.
# Visual style
The ad has a hybrid production quality, blending polished commercial aesthetics with a fast-paced, slightly scrappy, and humorous internet video feel. The editing is very quick, with frequent jump cuts and rapid scene changes, especially in the first half, contributing to a high-energy and attention-grabbing pace. The pacing is consistently fast, with cuts often timed to voiceover beats or sound effects. Visual motifs include direct address to the camera, dynamic camera movements (handheld following shots, quick zooms), and the use of text overlays to emphasize key points. Lighting is generally bright and natural, contributing to a modern, accessible feel, even in the office settings. The use of memes and exaggerated visuals (Mr. Beast, Internet gods, pony) adds to the internet-native, slightly irreverent tone.

# Pain points
Businesses struggling to acquire customers online: "Is trying to get customers online driving you crazier than your ex?" Overwhelm and inefficiency with current marketing: "Tools to do this. Tools to do that. Pixels for this and cookies for that." and "As you work longer, harder, earlier, later, on weekends and whenever you get a spare moment." Wasting money on ineffective marketing: "put your hard earned money behind a crappy agency, ads or funnel that murder your moolah." Ineffective direct sales approaches: "if all your marketing is screaming 'Buy my stuff!', you're doing the equivalent of walking up to complete strangers and asking them to marry you on the first date."

# Storyline
- 00:00–00:04 The ad opens with a rapidly spinning, distorted image of Mr. Beast's face, followed by a cardboard cutout of his face being held by the speaker. The speaker asks, "Do you recognize this average looking 26-year-old manchild?" This immediately grabs attention by referencing a popular internet figure and uses a slightly provocative, humorous tone to establish a direct, engaging style. The audience is experiencing this from the speaker's perspective, who is directly addressing them.
- 00:04–00:05 Two MrBeast Feastables chocolate bars appear on screen with a blue radial background. The speaker asks, "Or what about these?" This continues the pattern of referencing Mr. Beast, hinting at his business ventures and setting up a connection to successful entrepreneurship.
- 00:05–00:10 A montage of Mr. Beast's success is shown: him waving to a large crowd in a mall, him touching a YouTube Play Button award, and a screenshot of his YouTube channel with 259M subscribers. The speaker identifies him as "Jimmy Donaldson, aka Mr. Beast, the biggest YouTuber on the planet." This establishes Mr. Beast's immense success and credibility, implying that the following information will be about achieving similar levels of success.
- 00:10–00:17 The speaker holds up two chocolate bars (MrBeast Feastables) and states, "And this is a chocolate brand that he launched 24 months ago, that's on track to do $1.5 billion in sales this year." This directly links Mr. Beast's fame to a tangible business success, setting a high benchmark for what's possible. Visuals of chocolate bars being stacked and money falling reinforce the idea of massive sales.
- 00:17–00:21 The speaker asks, "How? This is how." He then gestures with his hands as animated emoji eyes and a money bag appear, implying a secret to converting attention into money. This creates intrigue and promises to reveal the method behind such success.
- 00:21–00:29 The speaker, now outside a car, directly addresses the viewer, "Hey you, yes you. Is trying to get customers online driving you crazier than your ex? Thinking of doing a tequila enema or throwing your MacBook out of a moving car window?" This shifts to a direct problem-agitation approach, using relatable and exaggerated humor to connect with the audience's frustrations about online customer acquisition. The tone is empathetic yet slightly sarcastic.
- 00:29–00:36 A man in a car throws a MacBook out the window, followed by the speaker walking past a car, stating, "Tools to do this. Tools to do that. Pixels for this and cookies for that." This visually represents the frustration and complexity of current marketing tools, reinforcing the idea that traditional methods are overwhelming and ineffective.
- 00:36–00:50 The speaker walks through an office, describing the grind of business owners: "As you work longer, harder, earlier, later, on weekends and whenever you get a spare moment. Listening to podcasts at 2x speed whilst gunning for inbox zero. Refreshing LinkedIn as you pretend to pay attention on a Zoom call that you don't even need to be on." This paints a vivid picture of the exhausting reality for many entrepreneurs, further agitating the pain point of overwork and inefficiency.
- 00:50–00:55 The speaker sits on a couch, looking defeated, then looks up and says, "It's okay. There's a solution. Here it is." He then pauses dramatically before stating, "There is no solution." This is a humorous twist, building anticipation for a solution only to subvert it, creating a moment of shock and then setting up the real solution.
- 00:55–00:58 The speaker leans in, asking, "Did I hurt your feelings? Do you want a Band-Aid and a cuddle?" This continues the sarcastic, direct, and slightly aggressive tone, challenging the viewer's expectations and reinforcing the no-nonsense approach.
- 00:58–01:03 The speaker stands up and walks towards the camera, stating, "But seriously, if you finally want to get more clients, customers and sales than you can possibly handle, then listen up." This transitions from humor back to a serious promise, re-engaging the viewer with a clear benefit.
- 01:03–01:16 The speaker walks through an office, pointing to framed awards on the wall, and says, "Because what I've learned from growing the number one fastest growing agency in the country and generating my clients over $7.8 billion in sales is that doing so isn't a result of luck, hope or praying to the Internet gods." This establishes his own credibility and expertise, contrasting his proven methods with wishful thinking. The visual of the "Internet gods" (Zuckerberg, Musk, Bezos as religious figures) adds a humorous, irreverent touch.
- 01:16–01:22 The speaker explains, "It's a result of having a selling system that takes complete randos on the internet from 'who are you?' to 'shut up and take my money!'" This introduces the core concept of a "selling system" and clearly defines its powerful outcome: converting strangers into eager customers. A grid of people with surprised/shocked expressions visually represents the "randos."
- 01:22–01:29 A man in a balaclava with money flying around him is shown, followed by the speaker asking Siri, "How do I get more customers?" Siri responds, "I'd rather rub Habanero chillies in my eyeballs than help you solve that problem." This uses humor and a common tech interaction to highlight the difficulty of the problem and the inadequacy of generic solutions, further emphasizing the need for his specific system.
- 01:29–01:32 The speaker states, "Not having one is like playing business on hard mode." This reinforces the pain point and the necessity of a system.
- 01:32–01:36 The speaker walks through an office, saying, "Alright, let me show you how we do this using something called the Larger Market Formula." This signals a shift to the educational/solution phase, introducing the specific methodology.
- 01:36–02:04 The speaker stands in front of a whiteboard with a sales pyramid diagram. He explains the "Larger Market Formula," detailing the 3% "buying now," 17% "information gathering," 20% "problem aware," and 60% "not problem aware" segments of the market. He uses a pointer to illustrate the segments. This provides a clear, visual explanation of the market segmentation and the opportunity to target the larger, often ignored, segments.
- 02:04–02:13 The speaker leans in conspiratorially, "Now here's where things burn like a mouthful of fire ants." He then explains, "Most businesses spend all their time, money and attention on the 3% of the market that's looking to buy now." This highlights the common mistake businesses make, creating a sense of urgency and a "secret knowledge" appeal.
- 02:13–02:24 The speaker walks through an office as money falls from the ceiling, stating, "So there's way more money targeting the 97% of prospects outside of the top of the pyramid. Because believe it or not, even disinterested prospects can turn into lucrative customers if you know how to approach them." This emphasizes the massive untapped potential and the power of his system to convert a broader audience.
- 02:24–02:34 The speaker is in a field with a white pony. He says, "The problem is that most people treat every lead like the 3% that are looking to buy now. That's a stupid idea. It's going to zero. Take it behind the barn and shoot it." He then "shoots" the pony with a confetti cannon. This uses dark humor and a memorable, shocking visual to drive home the point about mismanaging leads.
- 02:34–02:40 The speaker is in a field with cows, saying, "So forget about DMing strangers 'til the cows come home, running complicated Webinar and Quiz funnels." This dismisses common, often ineffective, marketing tactics.
- 02:40–02:48 The speaker is in a car, saying, "Because if you want to slap half a million in the ass, this selling system is much quicker, easier and faster than anything you've seen before." This uses a provocative phrase and a strong claim to highlight the system's superior efficiency and results. Text overlays reinforce the benefits.
- 02:48–03:01 The speaker is still in the car, explaining, "Once you have this system, everything becomes cheaper, usually a lot cheaper. Your cost per click drops, conversion rates increase, leads are cheaper, and as a result your cost to acquire a customer is cheaper, much cheaper." This details the specific financial benefits of the system, appealing to the desire for cost-effectiveness and higher ROI.
- 03:01–03:12 The speaker walks through an office, juggling an apple, then putting on sunglasses, saying, "If you don't believe me, keep going through our funnel. Yep. This one. And pay very close attention to the whole silky smooth process. And ask yourself, 'what if I had the same thing?'" This challenges skepticism, encourages engagement with his funnel, and prompts self-reflection about the viewer's own marketing.
- 03:12–03:21 The speaker walks outside, putting on sunglasses, and says, "Because if all your marketing is screaming 'Buy my stuff!', you're doing the equivalent of walking up to complete strangers and asking them to marry you on the first date." This uses a humorous and relatable analogy to explain why aggressive, direct sales approaches are ineffective for most prospects. A woman with a disgusted expression reinforces the analogy.
- 03:21–03:33 The speaker is back outside, walking towards a car, saying, "Okay, so want one of these selling systems for your own business? So you can make some extra money, so you can buy things, expensive things, like Dyson fans, Aesop hand cream and weird flavored juices." He opens the car trunk and pulls out these items. This connects the system's benefits to aspirational lifestyle purchases, making the financial gains tangible and desirable.
- 03:33–03:42 The speaker walks through an office carrying the Dyson fan box and a green juice, saying, "Well, don't worry, Skippy, because not only am I revealing every little piece of the system in my bestselling book, today I'm going to send you a copy for free." He then throws the Dyson box and juice, and a montage of people holding the "Sell Like Crazy" book appears. This is the core offer, presenting the book as the solution and making it accessible by offering it for free.
- 03:42–03:52 The speaker is now in a black robe, in a luxurious setting, saying, "So never again do you have to put your hard-earned money behind a crappy agency, ads or funnel that murder your moolah. So slip on your big boy pants and click on the button below." This reinforces the pain point of wasted money on ineffective marketing and provides a clear call to action. The robe and setting suggest a relaxed, successful lifestyle.
- 03:52–04:02 The speaker, still in the robe, addresses a potential objection: "Oh, and let me address the elephant that's been trumpeting about your mind. Why is this dude giving away all of his secrets for free?" He then shows the book cover and back, which has a "WARNING" about flooding business with buyers. This proactively addresses skepticism about the free offer, building trust and further highlighting the value of the book.
- 04:02–04:08 The speaker says, "Don't worry. I explain all of that and more on the link below. So click the link now and get your free copy today." This reiterates the call to action and the free offer. Text overlays reinforce "CLICK THE DAMN LINK" and "free copy today."
- 04:08–04:14 The speaker, still in the robe, says, "Or don't click the link and instead hide in a gray, emotionless pit of your own pity." This uses a final, slightly aggressive, reverse psychology tactic to push the viewer towards the CTA.
- 04:14–04:39 The speaker is back in the field with the pony, with a long disclaimer text overlay. The speaker's voice is sped up, listing benefits and disclaimers. This provides legal disclaimers and a final, humorous, fast-paced summary of benefits, ending the ad on a memorable note.
