Noom has been dominating ad campaigns, pulling in 800K in just 30 days on app campaigns, and even more on the web. But here’s the secret: their success isn’t only about the product. The real engine behind their growth is the ads.

I analyzed over 40 of Noom’s ad creatives and found five strategies you can copy today to improve your own campaigns.

Strategy one: make it easy.
 Noom’s ads lead with simplicity. No forbidden foods. No crazy workouts. Just ten minutes a day. Why does this work? Because a simple plan you follow is better than a complicated plan you quit. Their ads tap into users’ habits and emotions by removing barriers, making it easy for users to follow through and succeed.

Strategy two: meet users where they are.
 Most people who see Noom’s ads have already tried other weight loss methods and failed. Noom acknowledges this frustration by removing shame, building instant trust, and making users feel seen and understood. This empathy creates a strong connection before users are ready to accept a solution.

Strategy three: use high contrast visuals.
 Visuals are powerful because they grab attention instantly. Noom uses food comparisons to make points clear. For example, two plates of food with the same calories but totally different portions. This before and after style visual makes the problem and solution obvious at a glance. If you’re running ads, ask yourself, what’s the simplest side by side comparison I can show?

Strategy four: show social proof.
 Testimonials are everywhere in Noom’s ads. Real users, different ages and backgrounds, quick back to back montages. This rhythm builds authenticity, making the impact of the app feel relatable and believable.

Strategy five: hook with relatable problems.
 Many Noom ads start with everyday frustrations. No more happy hours. I can’t eat what I love. These hooks grab attention because people instantly relate. Then Noom presents the solution: lose weight without giving up the things you enjoy. The takeaway? Always spell out the problem first before presenting your product as the solution.

Here are the five big lessons from Noom’s ads.
 One, make it easy.
 Two, meet users where they are.
 Three, use high contrast visuals.
 Four, show social proof.
 Five, hook with relatable problems.
