We need a new design with different Meta Ad versions for our holiday promotions.
9 graphics needed - with 2 sizes for each one.
DESIGN NOTES
Style: See our website www.culinarybackstreets.com for our style of brand visuals and images. These are holiday promos to entice customers to learn more about us and buy our services.
Two images are attached as reference. Istanbul Lahmacun is a previous Meta ad that we published. We want our holiday promo to be brighter like our website and with your creativity.
The 2nd reference image (Trip Specific) shows how we want there to be different design elements for the copy (the tagline, the body copy, and the buttons/boxes that highlight the 15% off and Use code). It does not have to be a button/box - we just want it to stand out.
Mood: inspiring, upbeat, curious, in-the-know, expert, friendly, authentic
