When you’re building a personal brand in a specific niche like dentistry, what really matters is targeted attention.
I’ve made an ad for a client that wasn’t made to go viral.
Instead, it was crafted to attract real dentists, build authority, and establish trust quickly.
The goal was simple:
Attract dentists and get them to follow the profile where he shares daily value, insights, and marketing breakdowns specifically tailored to dental professionals.
How the Ad Worked (The Direct Response Formula)
This is a good marketing approach. Short-form, no fluff, and 100% results-focused.
Hook: A bold headline that instantly speaks to dentists’ curiosity and ambition.
Pivot: Clear explanation of the value they’ll get by following: Tips, case analysis, tools, and more.
Action: Strong CTA telling them exactly what to do next.
The goal was straightforward:
Stop their scroll, deliver clear value, and turn viewers into followers immediately.
A nearly identical version I ran for a client in the Portuguese market brought in 4,400+ new followers with a very low ad spend.
Why It Works
- Simple Design: Easy to read in under 5 seconds.
- Strong Headline: Directly targets what dentists desire and want to know.
- Crystal-Clear CTA: Directly asks viewers exactly what action to take next.
What You Should Take From This
The headline is EVERYTHING. It’s the ad for your ad.
If it doesn't grab their attention instantly, they’ll never read the rest of what you have to say.
And if your CTA isn't crystal clear, you won't get the result you want.
