Would you hire a freelance art director/designer/copywriter off a Facebook ad? Assuming book etc are all great.

👆agree. But still, no would not hire off a FB ad.

The first guy to do it years ago got press for it.

Fair enough responses, but why is an ad like that a turn off? Especially in an industry that makes ads? Also seems like a decent tool to get your name in front of people outside your network.

An ad like that is a turn off because you are leading with the delivery system not the idea. Tell us the idea then let us ask you how you gonna distribute it, then you can tell us all about Facebook ads.

Is an ad format a gimmick? If the ad is genuinely relaying information in a clever or creative way that doesn't seem gimmicky to me, it's just communication.

Also @CW2 not sure what you mean, the only "idea" here is that a freelancer is available to work for money. The ad would just be "I can do XYZ for you email me for availability and rates".
