  1. Curiosity
  2. Benefit
  3. Emotion
  4. Credibility
  5. Expectation

Even when using these ‘hooks’ to make your ads more engaging, Ted Prodromou also gives  some techniques to help writing the ads, which include:

Hi! My name is Tom DuHamel and I run I Heart Blank, LLC. I started my own business in 2011 but have been making websites since 2002. Before I Heart Blank, LLC I worked for a local radio station in Hackettstown, NJ selling advertising, doing voice-overs and helping local business create compelling advertising and marketing campaigns. When I started I Heart Blank, LLC my goal was to integrate the two things I was most experienced at; marketing and website design. Basically, making sure your website integrates your marketing plan (iconic retention, branding, etc.)
