ONE thing this ad does well (AKA Copywriting Tip):



Tell the truth, but make it interesting.



⇝ “I just broke the land speed record. 956.39 mph in a stock Isuzu Impulse turbo”.


⇝ “He’s lying. The Isuzu Impulse Turbo will not go 956.39 mph.In fact, we’ve never had one go even 900 mph. But on the test track, its fuel-injected, intercooled, turbo charged engine powered the Impulse Turbo to an honest 130 mph.”




Side note: Be brutally honest when you communicate product facts. Embrace imperfections. Embrace mistakes. Embrace the Pratfall effect).This will help you build empathy. And it will make your brand a little more interesting.
