#42: How to Create Facebook Ads That Beat the Competition Without a Big Budget
Update: 2025-10-20
Description
Businesses are burning cash on Facebook ads that just don’t work, and it’s not because of the algorithm. The real problem? Most companies are leading with clever headlines and flashy visuals instead of clear, curiosity-driven messaging. When your potential customer sees your ad, they’re not thinking about your brand, they’re thinking about their own survival. If your ad doesn’t speak to that in the first two seconds, you’ve already lost them. With ad costs going up and results going down, the stakes have never been higher. So what do you actually say in your ads to make people stop scrolling, click, and buy?
In this episode, hosts Donald Miller and Kyle Reed sit down with Mehrab Reza, Facebook ads expert and longtime StoryBrand agency partner. You’ll learn the real reason most Facebook ads flop and the 3-part framework that scrappy brands are using to beat out massive companies with million-dollar budgets. Mehrab shares how to build “survival soundbites” that grab attention, use AI to scale creative output fast, and avoid the biggest trap in attribution tracking. Whether your ad budget is $1K or $1M, tune in to learn how to get better results with fewer resources.
