Grammarly’s video ad: “Stay in the zone”

Running 233 daysFacebook and InstagramWinner

How it opens

“Keep getting pinged? With Grammarly, you write clearer messages that cut through the clutter.”

Angle: Pain point

Why it works

It starts with a shared daily annoyance, then links the product to a simple outcome instead of listing features. The headline gives a memorable emotional payoff, and the install button keeps the path to action short. The data shows it has run 233 days, is still active, and has 8 active ads, which suggests the message holds up over time, though the data doesn't say why.

Who it speaks to: Busy professionals who live in chat and email and want their messages to be read and answered without wasted back and forth.

How it’s built
  1. Hook: A relatable question about constant pings calls out the pain right away.
  2. Benefit: Grammarly is tied to writing clearer messages that stand out from the clutter.
  3. Headline: 'Stay in the zone' restates the payoff as a short, desirable state.
  4. CTA: An 'Install now' button sends people straight to the app store listing.
What to borrow
  • Open with a question that names a small, universal frustration so the viewer self-selects in the first few words.
  • Link your product to one clear outcome, such as focus or clarity, rather than a list of features.
  • Use a short headline that states the end feeling the customer wants.
  • Match the button to the goal, like a direct install CTA for app ads, to keep friction low.
