Concept 1: Traditional Valentine

Messaging

For the messaging and copy in this concept, don’t shy away from cheesy, punny language. Keep things light-hearted and cute with some of our top Valentine’s Day quotes.

If you’re looking to separate yourself from tradition and stand out with an artistic flair this Valentine’s Day, this concept is for you. Make a splash with your social ads this year using this creative concept.

Messaging

Color palette
