Epic Stickman’s video ad: “Unleash Epic Stickman Battles”

Running 551 daysFacebook and InstagramWinner

How it opens

“Engage in mind-blowing stickman battles, upgrade your warrior, and uncover the epic story”

Angle: Desire

Why it works

The copy is short and promises three clear things a player wants: action, progression and story. The data also shows it has run for 551 days, is still active, and sits on 44 active ads, which suggests the brand keeps testing variations around a core message that keeps paying off. It runs across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Audience Network, so the simple message appears to hold up in many placements.

Who it speaks to: Mobile gamers who enjoy action and fighting games with character upgrades and a story, likely on iOS given the App Store link.

How it’s built
  1. Hook: The headline promises epic stickman battles with an action verb.
  2. Benefit stack: The post text lists three rewards in order: battles, warrior upgrades, and an epic story.
  3. Platform cue: The caption shows the App Store link, which signals a direct app install.
  4. CTA: The 'Install now' button asks for the single action the ad wants.
What to borrow
  • Open with a strong verb and the core experience so the hook tells people what they will do, not what the product is.
  • Stack two or three distinct rewards, such as action, progression and story, to appeal to different player motivations in one short line.
  • Keep one clear CTA that matches the store link so there is no friction between interest and install.
  • Build a family of ads around one proven message and vary the creative, as the 44 active ads suggest this advertiser does.
