What’s working well

  • Brand repetition: Deliveroo appears early and often by reinforcing recognition across the opening and closing frames.
  • Clear offer: The 10% credit-back message works by stating a concrete benefit in large on-screen text.
  • Custom motion graphics: The split-color transitions work by giving the ad a branded, memorable visual rhythm.
  • Direct CTA: 'Sign up to Plus Gold now' works by telling viewers exactly what action to take.
  • Legal reassurance: 'cancel anytime' works by reducing friction through a simple reassurance statement.

Key recommendations

  • Core Message & Clarity: Simplify the copy by reducing end-card text and keeping one headline plus one offer line.
  • Originality: Add a differentiating claim by stating one unique Plus Gold feature in a short branded line.
  • Call-to-Action Clarity: Add urgency by including a deadline or limited-time note beside the signup message.
  • Brand Recognition & Impact: Add a reusable tagline by placing a short brand phrase under the Deliveroo logo.
  • Platform Delivery & Visibility: Make the signup path clearer by showing a direct button or landing URL instead of only legal text.
  • Inclusive Representation: Ensure creative reflects diverse demographics, ages, and backgrounds to maximize audience connection.
