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


Simplify,then exaggerate



⇝ “Ever heard the Algerian national anthem? you will.”




Side note: Let’s time travel back to the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona 🇪🇸.

The 1500 metres athelte Algerian Noureddine Morceli (Another Nike sponsored athlete) had big hopes to win a gold medal.

So the #1 reason this ad works is because the headline dramatizes (in a memorable way) Noureddine’s prospects of winning a gold medal.
