See how this ad has been “cleaning up”
Dyson’s ad for the WashG1 vacuum mop makes a “clean” statement, here’s the creative:
Why it works:
Instead of drowning its audience with features, the ad uses a single, striking image to highlight its competition’s flaws.
The visual progression—from a mop and bucket to the WashG1—is clear and effective, and its key strength lies in its "show, don't tell" approach.
How to Apply This Concept:
Tech Gadgets: A side-by-side comparison of a camera’s quality versus competitors, with obvious differences (e.g., blurry phone photo vs. crystal-clear portrait).
Skincare Products: Compare two people’s outstretched arms, one with a competitor’s moisturizer leaving a greasy residue versus the invisible, matte finish from your product.
B2B Email tool: Show a screenshot of someone with inbox zero using your AI inbox organizer next to a “999,999 unread emails” notification.
