Audience intent decides the creative format.

In-market shoppers? Get to the point.

Lifestyle audiences? Tell a story.

Competitor conquesting? Compare, politely… but clearly.

If you mismatch intent, you force the ad to do too much work.

Actionable takeaway: Create a simple matrix:

Low awareness = story + problem framing

Medium awareness = benefit + differentiator

High intent = proof + price/value + “available on Amazon”

Don't have bandwidth to run this in-house? Your agency giving you a vacant stare when you bring this up?
