From Flop to Fix: How AI Turned My Ad Around

The Flop

Last month, I ran an ad promoting my AI training. It had all the “right” pieces—value, urgency, even a freebie. But it bombed. Low CTR, low conversions.

Instead of guessing, I ran the post through Grok.

Here's what I did:

Prompt Used

“Analyze this X post and tell me who it’s resonating with. What traits, interests, or values are showing up?”

Grok said: “This is hitting with tech-forward creatives, but the message feels too generic.”

The Fix

I used that insight to ask:

Prompt Used

“Rewrite this ad for an audience of tech-forward creatives who love experimenting with tools but don’t want to waste time.”

Output Snippet:“Creative minds, meet your new assistant. AI doesn’t replace your ideas—it multiplies them.”

Boom. Higher CTR. Comments. Clicks. And actual conversions.

Lesson: Use What’s Already There

The audience wasn’t the problem. The message was.
