NPrepared for Nassim · 12 November 2026 23 days until the trial day in Parede

Twelve children at your trial day. Here is how we get them there.

Two finished ads in your colours, honest feedback on the current visual, and the exact plan for the €300: who sees the ads, when we check the results, and how you'll know it worked.

The ads

As parents will see them, in their feed and in Stories.

Built from your website: your navy, gold and sand, Newsreader and Manrope, your logo and a real photo from your Open Day. Each ad comes in 4:5 for the feed and 9:16 for Stories and Reels, with text kept out of the areas Instagram covers.

    Your current visual

    A good base. Six changes so it works as an ad.

    Your marketing person's design already has the right colours and a clear promise. What changes is how it reads in two seconds of scrolling on a phone, which is all the time an ad gets.

    Our version Proposed
    Proposed trial-day ad
    1

    Show children aged 6–13

    The people in the photo look 16 to 20. Parents stop for children who look like their own, so a real photo of children from your school does more than a polished stock image.

    2

    Say it's in German

    The image never says the workshop is in German, which is the main reason a German-speaking parent would choose it over any other art workshop. «Auf Deutsch» now sits in the headline.

    3

    Make date, place and price easy to read

    «5 Dezember · Parede · 10 €» was the smallest text on the image. It's what parents check first, so it now sits in the gold label and the chips.

    4

    Remove the web address

    Links can't be clicked inside an image. The «Registrieren» button under the ad takes parents straight to the trial-day form, so the URL is just clutter.

    5

    Give the logo a clean background

    On top of the photo the logo almost disappears. For a new school, a clearly visible logo builds trust, so it now sits on a cream badge.

    6

    Add a 9:16 version

    Stories and Reels bring in a large share of the reach Meta delivers. Each ad now has a vertical version, with the text kept clear of the reply bar and the profile name.

    What we kept: the stop-motion idea, the film premiere with popcorn and your navy and sand. «Dein Kind dreht seinen ersten Trickfilm» says the same thing as before, with a word children and parents use for cartoons. If you can take a 10-minute photo of two or three children with a real stop-motion set before launch, we'll swap it in: that's the strongest possible image for this ad.

    The plan

    Who sees the ads, and where the €300 goes.

    WhoParents aged 28–50 living in the core area, with children of school age.
    GermanAds written in German. We test the German-language filter first; if it shrinks the audience too much, we keep German ads and drop the filter, so bilingual families on English or Portuguese Instagram still see them.
    SignalsInterest in German language and culture, German-speaking countries, international schools and children's activities.
    VersionsGerman first; an English version is tested against it after the first few days.
    ShiftSpend moves towards whichever ad brings registrations at the lowest cost, keeping Stop-Motion as the priority.

    Schools. We built the website for a private school and planned its Instagram content for enrolment and re-enrolment. Your campaign is our first German Saturday school, and we've said that from the start. What carries over is the method: find the parents, show them something specific, and measure each registration.
