Speechify’s video ad: “Try Listening to Books Today!”

Running 119 daysFacebook and InstagramWinner

How it opens

“Tired of reading long texts? 📚👀”

Angle: Pain point

Why it works

It pairs a relatable pain with a simple fix, then adds one memorable twist in the celebrity voices that sets it apart from a plain text-to-speech tool. The ad has run 119 days, is still active and sits across six placements, which suggests the message holds up over time and across audiences. The user count adds light social proof, and the low-pressure 'Learn more' button keeps the barrier to entry small.

Who it speaks to: People who have more to read than they have time or energy for, such as students, busy professionals and commuters who want to take in books and emails on the go.

How it’s built
  1. Hook: Asks 'Tired of reading long texts?' to name the pain right away.
  2. Solution: Introduces Speechify as the tool that reads to you.
  3. Differentiator: Promises the voices of favorite celebrities, which makes it feel novel and fun.
  4. Proof: Cites AI technology, multilingual support and over 500k happy users as reasons to trust it.
  5. Use cases: Lists books, emails and more, on the go, to show it fits daily life.
  6. CTA: The headline 'Try Listening to Books Today!' and the 'Learn more' button invite a low-commitment next step.
What to borrow
  • Open with a short question that names a pain your audience feels daily, so they recognize themselves in the first few words.
  • Give people one distinctive feature to remember, as the celebrity voices do here, rather than a list of generic benefits.
  • Back the promise with a single scale number for credibility, but keep it close to what you can verify for your own brand.
  • Show a range of everyday use cases so viewers can picture the product fitting into their own routine.
