What is a lifestyle ad?
A lifestyle ad shows the product being used in a real setting by the kind of person who buys it. Instead of listing features, it sells the feeling or outcome of owning the product, which makes it a strong fit for fashion, home, travel and wellness brands.

Full creative breakdown
Who this ad targets
Dutch adults aged roughly 30–70 who underestimate what a funeral costs, including young families, single-income households and people without significant savings. The specific euro range turns an abstract risk into a tangible financial problem, which appeals to rational, price-aware viewers who respond to facts more than feelings. The closing question 'Ben jij al verzekerd?' (Are you insured yet?) targets both the uninsured and those unsure whether their current cover is enough, making it suitable for mid-funnel and retargeting audiences.
Copywriting analysis
The copy uses a classic fact-plus-question structure. 'Een uitvaart kost in Nederland tussen de € 7.000 en € 11.500' (A funeral in the Netherlands costs between €7,000 and €11,500) creates a moment of surprise, because most people have no idea of the real amount. The follow-up 'Ben jij al verzekerd?' (Are you insured yet?) makes it personal and implies a gap. Bold type on the question gives a clear reading order: fact first, then the call to self-reflection. Localising the statistic to 'in Nederland' adds credibility. Always cite a source for the figure on the landing page, and keep number formatting consistent with Dutch conventions (€ 7.000 with a full stop as thousands separator).
Visual design
Cool blues dominate, from the sky to the navy lighthouse band and the navy text, creating a coherent brand-like palette. The lighthouse is placed on the left third and the text on the right, following the rule of thirds. The beam points towards the text, guiding the eye. Typography is a geometric sans-serif (like Poppins) in navy, regular for the fact and bold with wide spacing for the question.
How to adapt this template for your brand
- Find a credible local cost statistic and cite its source on the landing page.
- Write the number in local format (Dutch: € 7.000 / € 11.500).
- Set the fact in regular weight and the personal question in bold.
- Choose an image that matches the emotional temperature you want: warm and hopeful or sober and serious.
- Test the stat-led version against a pure emotional version on cost per lead.
Tips for finance & fintech ads on Meta
The blue palette fits trust-focused insurance brands and works on Meta, Instagram and Google Display. For 9:16, extend the sky upward and keep text in the safe zone. Fix the number format to Dutch style before launch, as inconsistent figures can reduce trust. Cite the cost source on the landing page and follow financial services ad policies.
About this creative
A tall white lighthouse with a wide navy band stands on a sandy beach on the left of the frame, its lamp glowing and casting a beam of light across a pale blue evening sky. The sea rolls gently onto the shore behind it, and dune grass fills the lower-left corner, evoking the Dutch North Sea coast. The sky fades from soft blue to a hint of peach at the horizon. On the right, navy blue text reads 'Een uitvaart kost in Nederland tussen de €7000 en €11,500.' (A funeral in the Netherlands costs between €7,000 and €11,500.) followed by bold, letter-spaced 'Ben jij al verzekerd?' (Are you insured yet?). The lighthouse symbolises protection and guidance in difficult times, turning the cost fact into a reassuring promise. Note the number formatting mixes Dutch and English styles ('€7000' and '€11,500'); in Dutch it should read € 7.000 and € 11.500.
