WHO’S HOLDING THE SCALPEL?

I PULL APART THE ADS BRANDS KEEP RUNNING.

Every Tuesday, I take one real ad apart: the hook, the offer, the psychology and the decisions behind it.

You’ll leave with practical ideas you can test, adapt or brief to your designer.

FOR ECOMMERCE FOUNDERS, MARKETERS AND MEDIA BUYERS.

ONE REAL AD SIX MINUTES EVERY TUESDAY FREE

01 THE STORY

I’m Adam Nagy. I’ve spent more than 12 years working across performance marketing, ecommerce and creative strategy.

Ad Junkie started as the swipe file I’d pull out during client conversations.

One real ad on the table. We’d examine the hook, the offer, the structure and the small decisions that made it worth studying.

Eventually, I started writing those breakdowns down.

Now, one lands every Tuesday for founders, marketers and media buyers who want fresh creative thinking they can actually use.

02 WHY I OBSESS

Most ad libraries show you what an ad looks like.

I want to understand the decisions inside it.

  • Who is the first line calling out?
  • What makes someone stop?
  • Where does the proof appear?
  • Why has the brand created twelve versions of the same idea?

A long-running ad is never automatic proof of performance. But the patterns leave clues.

Ad Junkie follows those clues and turns them into ideas you can use in your own creative.

    Launch dates, variations and duplicates help reveal what a brand continues to test. Verified performance data is labelled clearly whenever it is available.
