The interesting thing is that the least recognizable celebrity (Isla Fisher) ad performed the best. But examining the photos themselves, when combined with what we learned about the things people click on, it became more obvious why that wa

Wow, this is incredible. Can't thank you enough! We're working on a few of these now, based on your feedback. Do you mind sending me an email? zack@momentgarden.com
