Putting Your Business and
Message into Motion!

I just bought an ad. What happens now?

Welcome to Advantage! We’re excited to partner with you on your new ad campaign.

Our team will be reaching out shortly to gather the necessary materials to create a top-notch ad. While high-quality logos and images can significantly enhance your ad’s impact, don’t worry if you don’t have everything ready. Our talented designers can help you achieve professional and effective results.

How can you help us build the best ad possible?

Our creative team will do 95% + of the heavy lifting! We have worked with thousands of different types of businesses over the years and have a good feel on many different types of businesses. However every business is still unique and no one knows your business better than you do. This is where we lean on you for ad copy! Think company and brand awareness.

  • What is your overall message?
  • 3-6 primary services bullet points
  • Do you want a general business message?
  • A specific service?
  • A product focused ad?

Remember repetition is the most seen & most used

This is why we believe less is more. Relying on your company name and a small message has a lot more impact than you may think. Try to refrain from wanting to add an excessive amount of bullet points and messages that may not only make your ad hard to read, but can also distract from your overall company message.

Here are a few things to avoid.

  • Limited time product offers. Remember your ad runs for 6 months.
  • Listing outside services your company usually doesn’t promote
  • Lengthy sentences

Overall Repetition is key for your brand awareness! Overall Repetition is key for your brand awareness! Overall Repetition is key for your brand awareness! Are you getting it?

Best formats for images:

We can accept a wide range of image formats. (jpeg, tiff, png, heiv, pdf, etc.) However if the photo looks small or blurry on your computer it will be that way in your ad.

Best file formats for videos:

We can accept multiple video formats however MP4 is the most common. This is the format most smartphones, youtube videos, and camcorders use these days. But we also accept (MOV, Mkv, AVI, MP4, H264, H265 and much more.) We cannot accept any (DVD’s, VHS tapes, or mini DV Camcorder footage). These formats are deprecated and too low of a resolution for our HD TVs.
