Founder-story Facebook ad example: the Dr. Squatch welcome video that has run 30 months straight
The ad
Jack, the founder and CEO, sits in a chair at HQ and talks straight to camera: "you probably just placed your first order." He thanks you, welcomes you to Squatch Nation, points you to the content channels, previews the limited-edition drops, and tells you your order is being prepped. It is a post-purchase ad — shown to buyers in the window between checkout and delivery — and it has run for two and a half years without being turned off.

The pattern interrupt is relevance, not spectacle: "Hi, this is Jack, founder and CEO." A buyer who just ordered sees the actual founder acknowledge their exact moment. For that audience, the first frame is almost impossible to scroll past.
The "problem" here is buyer's remorse — the quiet post-checkout doubt every DTC brand ignores. Jack dissolves it by making the purchase feel like joining something ("a fun and exciting community") instead of ending something.
Instead of product specs, the middle sells the ecosystem: usage tips, limited editions, the comedy channels. Every beat gives a new buyer one more reason to stay engaged — which is what feeds repeat purchase.
The CTA is deliberately soft — follow the socials, watch for shipping info. This ad is not chasing CTR; it is buying retention and LTV for pennies against a tiny, hyper-qualified audience. That is why it never fatigues.
There is no explicit nudge toward the subscription or a second product. One line — "most Squatch Nation members start with the bundle next" — would turn a retention ad into a quiet cross-sell without breaking the tone.
The longest-running ad in this library is not a conversion ad at all. Build one welcome video for new buyers, run it post-purchase forever, and it becomes the cheapest LTV lever in the account.
