Happy Tuesdays
Jun 5, 2025

Analysis:
Emotional connection drives sales, not your product. And humor? That’s a goldmine few take advantage of. “You Can’t Cure the Ex-Text. But You Can Cure the Hangxiety.” uses that relatable humor to evoke a painfully universal post-party regret, then it shows the solution. The image of someone grimacing while rereading their texts adds narrative and story so people can feel the connection even more. Happy Tuesdays sells emotional relief, not hangover supps.
How you can apply it:
Lead with a highly specific emotional scenario that your audience has lived.
Use humor to lower defenses and build a connection.
Coin a memorable term or cultural shorthand (like “hangxiety”) for the problem.
Show your product as the quiet hero, not the star.
Frame the benefit emotionally, not just functionally, fixing feelings, not just symptoms.
Prompt:
Create a hyper-realistic, cinematic static image ad for Happy Tuesdays, focused on the theme of post-party regret and recovery. The scene takes place in a cozy, slightly messy bedroom or living room the morning after a night out. A young adult (mid 20s, gender-neutral appearance, casual post-party attire) is sitting on the edge of a couch or bed, sipping from a glass of water while side-eyeing their phone with a mix of horror and embarrassment — as if they just reread a text sent to their ex. Their posture should feel relatable and slightly slouched, evoking that “why did I do that?” energy. On the coffee table or nightstand in front of them sits an opened Happy Tuesdays Recovery Pack, front-facing and clearly visible. There should be subtle signs of a party from the night before: a glittery jacket draped on the chair, a solo cup on the floor, maybe a festival wristband still on. Use warm natural morning light and soft shadows to convey a mix of emotional humor and physical recovery. Headline (center-bottom in bold sans-serif): “You Can’t Cure the Ex-Text.
