A winning ad is two things: a winner and your next winner. This is exactly what you should do when you find a new winner: → The hook: Look for new ways to say the same thing. Change "Expert reveals how to scale Facebook ads" to "3 ways to scale Facebook ads". → Actor demographics: Try different ages, ethnicities, and genders. → Filming location: Think of where else someone would use the product. → Video length: Try 15-, 30- and 45-second cuts. Start there before you spin up a new concept. As a rule of thumb, develop 10 concepts per $100K of spend. Six iterations, four new concepts. What percentage of your creative output currently goes to iterations?

Click-through-rate (CTR) is my least favorite metric in advertising. We analyzed 10k+ ads with $10M+ in spend and found no correlation between CTR and CAC/ROAS. This holds for all in-platform metrics. Including hook rate and hold rate. So where in the funnel can you begin judging creative? Post click. We begin to see correlation post-click at these metrics: - Cost per install - Cost per add-to-cart - Cost per registration The exact metrics to look at varies by customer. But these are the earliest metrics you can use to evaluate creative. That being said, in-platform metrics have their place: to iterate on winners. Here's how: - Winner with low CTR: improve your call-to-action - Winner with low hold rate: improve you story - Winner with low hook rate: improve your hook What do you use to evaluate creatives?

You can’t have ultra-specific targeting and low CAC. Sometimes CPMs go up—because precision costs money. That’s not failure. That’s paid media reality. #CAC #MarketingTruths #validco 📌 Follow for more smart media strategy

CTAs in UGC are no longer necessary. We've always been told, "it's advertising 101, include a CTA." But does it really help with UGC? 🧵

Not all engagement is good. Meta boosts posts with hate just like love — it’s all the same to the algo. Lower CPMs, sure... but what about trust? Clap back or cut comments. Choose wisely. #MetaAds #GrowthMarketing #validco 👉 Follow for more sharp takes

ROAS isn't just a marketing metric — it's a product signal. We track LTV from download → purchase → 3-month retention. That’s how we build smarter CAC targets. If your ROAS model doesn’t include retention, it’s just guesswork. #validco #ROAS #LTV 📌 Follow for more
