Blinks Labs GmbH, commonly known as Blinkist, is a book-summarizing subscription service based in Berlin, Germany.

Revenues increased by 167% year-on-year to 19.5 million euros and the number of active subscribers rose by 77% compared to the previous year.
Blinkist was able to grow so strongly particularly thanks to good marketing.

Their Facebook advertising consists mainly of short video clips. One ad that I would like to highlight is an ad entitled "Listen to the big ideas from the world's most influential nonfiction books in just 15 minutes.“

The accompanying clip is then showing people in business attire with the sentences "The average CEO reads 60 books. 88 % of financially successful people read at least 30 minutes", followed by a woman with a smartphone in her hand and the information “Blinkist users read key ideas from up to 5 books per day".

At the end, the request and call to action "Start learning like a CEO" is showing up. It should be noted that that this was created with simple pictures and with a font. Anyone can do this. You could even reproduce this with the internal tool of Facebook.

This advertisement is certainly aimed at entrepreneurs. Blinkist has certainly researched into statistics and want freelancers and self-employed people to see this advertisement. Otherwise this advertisement would not have emphasized the word CEO to such an extent.
