Manage episode 498114087 series 3681325
In this episode, we break down the ad strategy behind Headway — a micro-learning app that’s running over 50,000 creatives and dominating the Meta Ads Library.
But this isn’t just a volume play. Using BruteForce AI, our in-house ad intelligence engine, we analyzed dozens of long-running ads to uncover how Headway sells self-reinvention through identity-first performance creative.
From transformation headlines and gendered personas to habit-change messaging and landing page congruence — this teardown reveals how Headway turns micro-learning into a movement of personal growth and aspiration.
🔍 What you’ll learn:
- The exact headline formulas that drive identity transformation
- How behavior swaps (like “stop scrolling, start learning”) hook the doomscroller psyche
- The gender-specific personas they target — and how the creative changes accordingly
- Why “I don’t chase, I attract” has become a magnetic identity hook
- How Headway could scale even further with landing page tweaks and UGC
- 3 takeaways you can steal for any transformation-based product
Whether you’re marketing a reading app, a coaching offer, or any identity-driven tool — this breakdown is your playbook for emotional, conversion-friendly creative.
