🤳 How AG1 Uses The Contrast Effect

AG1 directly contrasts their drink supplement to all the pills it replaces.

This ad does three things very well:

1. A beautiful split-screen directly showing the simplicity of their product vs the alternative

2. Listing all the benefits (how it helps your health), not features (ingredients)

3. The ad focuses on one core benefit (simplicity vs multiple pills) rather than various benefits (simplicity, cost savings, quality etc.).

This ad wouldn’t be impactful without the direct comparison to the cup of pills.

That’s the magic of The Contrast Effect.

We judge things differently when shown in comparison to something else, rather than by itself.
