ANIMATED ADS CHECKLIST

7 Key Points for Graphic Magic in Your Campaigns

1

The Hook Is Everything

The first 3-5 seconds are critical. Use a compelling visual or question to immediately grab attention and stop the scroll.

2

Mobile-First Optimization

Your ad will be viewed on a mobile device more than anywhere else. Make sure all elements are legible and clear on a small screen.

3

Tell a Micro-Story

Go beyond a product shot. Create a simple narrative arc with a problem, solution, and call-to-action (CTA) to make the ad memorable.

4

Subtle, Strategic Motion

Avoid overwhelming motion. Use animation to draw the eye to key information, like a discount code or CTA button.

5

Crystal-Clear Call-to-Action

The goal of the ad should be obvious, whether it’s “Shop Now” or “Learn More”. The CTA needs to be the final, undeniable focus of the animation.

6

A/B Test Your Best Work

Don’t rely on guesswork. Test different animations, colors, and hooks to find what truly resonates with your audience.

7

Brand Consistency is Key

Maintain your brand’s colors, fonts, and tone. An ad should feel like a natural, vibrant extension of your brand identity, not a one-off asset.
