A static that does one job

Cold audience, bottom-of-funnel intent. Everything on this frame exists to answer “what is it and what does it cost” before the thumb moves.

Creative shown is our own work, made for this page — client campaigns stay in their accounts unless we've been given permission to show them.

Why creative decides it

The targeting is solved. The creative isn't.

56%

of a campaign's sales impact is attributable to the creative itself.

Nielsen

is roughly how long a hook has before the thumb keeps moving.

Platform benchmarks

4–6

weeks is how fast creative fatigue typically lifts CPMs on a stale set.

The formats

Ten shapes an ad can take. We ship all of them.

Every concept goes out as a family, not a single asset — so the platform has something real to optimise between. These are ours, made for this page.

Yours won't look like these — they'll look like you. The point is the range, and that it's all made down the hall.

How we make them

Made to be tested, not admired.

An ad isn't a portfolio piece. Here's how we build creative that earns its place in the account.

  1. 01

    The hook is the ad

    The first two seconds decide whether the other twenty-eight get watched. We write and shoot for the thumb-stop first, the message second.

  2. 02

    Built in variations, not one-offs

    Every concept ships as a family — different hooks, formats and lengths — so the platform has something to actually optimise between.

  3. 03

    Native to each placement

    A Reel is not a YouTube pre-roll is not a static feed ad. Aspect ratio, pacing and captions are cut per placement, not exported once.

  4. 04

    Claims that survive contact

    Real offers, real proof, real footage. Creative that overpromises converts once and then poisons the account with refunds and bad signal.

  5. 05

    Read the drop-off, not the likes

    We look at where viewers leave, which hook held, and what actually drove the purchase — then cut the next round from that.

  6. 06

    Refresh before fatigue bites

    Frequency climbs, CPMs follow. New creative lands on a schedule so performance never falls off a cliff waiting for a shoot.

That's the outline — the full playbook stays in-house. It's why clients stay.

Straight talk

Most creative loses. That's the job.

Anyone claiming every asset will be a winner has never run the ads. The point of a batch is that one or two break out and pay for the rest — which only works if you ship enough variations to find them, and kill the losers fast without ego.

Week 1

Concept

Offer, audience and angles agreed. Hooks written before anything gets shot.

Week 2

Produce

Shoot and cut the batch — every concept in multiple hooks, lengths and ratios.

Week 3+

Test & cut

Live in the account. Winners scale, losers die, the next batch builds on what held.
