Most advertisers believe clarity is enough. They explain it well. Show the facts. Make it logical.
And yet…the ads that win don’t do any of that first.
In this episode of Todd Liles & The Wizard of Ads, Todd and Roy break down a truth every marketer eventually learns the hard way:
People don’t decide with logic. They decide with emotion — and then use logic to justify it.
They unpack:
Why emotional ads outperform rational ones
Why “making sense” isn’t the same as being remembered
How humor, gratitude, and empathy create trust
Why authenticity beats polish every time
And how great ads help people feel understood, not sold
This isn’t about tricks. It’s about understanding how humans actually choose.
If your advertising explains everything but still underperforms, this episode will show you exactly what’s missing.
If you enjoyed the episode, subscribe, review, and share the show with a business owner who refuses to be ordinary. Because in business, the bold win—and the remarkable reign.
