What is a before and after ad?
A before and after ad shows the same subject in two states side by side, so the result of using the product is visible at a glance. It's common in skincare, cleaning, fitness and home improvement, but claims shown must be realistic and typical to stay within ad platform policies.

Full creative breakdown
Who this ad targets
This ad targets parents of babies and toddlers, especially first-time parents who do multiple loads a week and want a gentle, fragrance-free detergent that can still handle blowouts and food stains. They often worry about skin sensitivities and residue on baby clothes. The core audience is US parents aged 25–40, plus gift buyers for baby showers.
Copywriting analysis
The headline “One Scoop Does It All” promises simplicity and power in five words, with the italic ‘One Scoop’ emphasising ease of use. The purple label pill names the category clearly so the headline can focus on benefit. The three badges are all performance-led – freshness, cold washes, whitening – which balances the brand's usual safety-first messaging and answers the doubt that gentle detergents are weaker. There is no offer, making it a strong evergreen consideration asset.
Visual design
The symmetrical layout places two equal photo panels side by side, joined by a central arrow, creating a clear left-to-right story. The pouch overlaps both panels, physically bridging problem and solution. The lilac palette matches the pouch and adds softness that suits baby products. Dashed outlines on the badges and subtle bubbles add playful detail. Plum text gives strong contrast against the light background.
How to adapt this template for your brand
- Pick a stain your audience sees often (baby, grass, food, makeup).
- Photograph before and after side by side in the same setting.
- Add an arrow and place your product pack between the two photos.
- Write a simple ‘One [action] Does It All’ style headline.
- List three performance benefits as badges underneath.
Tips for cleaning products ads on Meta
The 4:5 ratio takes up the most screen space in the Meta Feed on mobile, which makes it the best default for Facebook and Instagram Feed placements. Keep headline text within the central safe area, and export a 9:16 version with extra top and bottom padding for Stories and Reels. Test primary text short (one line) versus long (three lines with benefits) and let the creative carry the main claim.
About this creative
This 4:5 Branch Basics feed ad uses a side-by-side before/after layout. At the top, a dark purple pill reads “Laundry Detergent”, followed by the headline “One Scoop Does It All” in plum, with ‘One Scoop’ in italic. Two square photos sit side by side on a wooden floor: on the left, a light blue baby onesie with a large orange-brown stain on the chest; on the right, the same onesie looking clean. A white circle with an arrow links them. Overlapping the bottom centre is the Branch Basics Laundry Detergent pouch in its white-and-lilac packaging, marked fragrance-free. Below, three white dashed-outline pills with check icons list the benefits: Long-Lasting Freshness, Powerful for Cold Washes and Whitens, Brightens & Deodorizes. The lilac background is decorated with soft soap bubbles in the corners. The baby clothing makes the problem instantly relatable for parents, while the pouch placement links the result directly to the product.
