Video work

Six creator ads, six different structures

Each one opens on a problem rather than a product, which is the single thing that separates an ad creative from a nice video. Press any thumbnail to play.

Videos load only when you press play, so nothing is requested from YouTube until you choose to watch.

What they have in common

Four decisions taken before filming

None of these are production tricks. They are choices made at brief stage, and they are the same choices we take on your product.

  • The problem opens the videoNot the brand, not the packaging. A viewer scrolling has to recognise themselves in the first two seconds or the rest never gets watched.
  • One product, one argumentEach creative makes a single case. Trying to cover a range in thirty seconds is the most common reason an ad creative underperforms.
  • Real use, filmed properlyThe product is used the way a customer would use it, which is why these read as a recommendation rather than a demonstration.
  • Built to be cut three waysEvery creative is shot so the opening can be swapped without refilming. That is what makes hook testing possible at all.

Static work

We make image ads too

Three of six units from a flavour campaign for Bee Balm, run as whitelisted paid creative. Statics are not sold on the per creative tiers, only inside the campaign packs, which is why they live on the hub rather than here.

Questions

About this work

Why it works

What makes an ad creative different

It is a structure, not a style

A UGC video can take its time. An ad creative cannot. Problem in the opening frames, product as the resolution, one clear next step. Everything above follows that shape, and the difference between a creative that runs and one that just exists is almost always the first two seconds rather than the production.

Why hooks are counted rather than videos

Brands count videos, platforms count variations. One video with one opening gives an ad set nothing to compare. The same video with three openings gives it three, from the same shoot day and the same budget. That is why the hook count appears on every tier and every pack we sell.

What we will not do

Invent a result, fake a before and after, or write a claim you have not cleared. Those are in the terms rather than being a marketing position, and they are the reason a creator ad still reads as a person rather than an advert.

Ready to brief one? Compare the four tiers, or tell us about the product and we will name the one that fits, including when it is the cheapest.

Bespoke

Bigger than three, or an ongoing retainer?

Some briefs run past a single creative. A launch needing six or twelve at once, a monthly retainer feeding an ad account, hook variations at volume, or statics alongside video. When that is the shape of it we scope the work rather than pushing you into the nearest tier.

Quotes are prepared individually. Send us the shape of the problem and we come back with scope, timings and a fixed figure, usually within one business day.
