What I own

  • The full creative production cycle, from a hypothesis to a live test.
  • Setting the brief for creative production and controlling the quality of the output.

What came out of it

  • Analysed more than a hundred creatives to describe precisely the formula that hooks the audience.
  • The resulting formula tripled CTR and doubled ad campaign efficiency.
  • The method carries over to a new niche or audience: the entry point is always the same, reading the audience before production.

Repeatability

The motivations in the schema above work as a filter: a creative either hits one of the four, or it does not go to test.
The formula does not end at launch: hypothesis, production, test, conclusion repeat every time the audience or the placement changes.

Creative production starts with reading the audience, the picture comes after.
