Our process

Seven stages. Then back to the top.

Every campaign runs through the same sequence. Not because process is comforting, but because a loop that changes each time produces results you can't attribute to anything, and a business that can't attribute its results can't improve.

01

Research

Understand the market before spending in it.

02

Offer Selection

Choose what can actually be made profitable.

03

Creative Strategy

Define the angles worth testing.

04

AI Ad Production

Produce at the volume testing requires.

05

Testing

Spend deliberately. Wait for real data.

06

Optimization

Fix the weakest link. Re-test.

07

Scaling

Grow winners. End losers quickly.

01

Research

Before any spend, we build a picture of the market: who is already buying, what objections come up, what the competition is running, and which creative formats the channel is currently rewarding. Most of what looks like a creative problem later is actually a research gap here.

Buyer research Competitor ad review Channel signals Demand validation

Exit condition: we can state, in one sentence, who the buyer is and what would make them act.

02

Offer Selection

An offer either survives the math or it doesn't. We evaluate payout, expected conversion rate, GEO restrictions, traffic rules, competitive saturation, and the realistic cost of a click on the channel. If the numbers don't close before we start, no amount of creative talent will close them afterward.

Payout & terms GEO rules Traffic restrictions Break-even model Compliance check

Exit condition: a written margin model with a target CPA and a defined kill threshold.

03

Creative Strategy

Angles are decided before assets are made. Each angle is a distinct hypothesis about why this buyer hesitates: price, scepticism, timing, unfamiliarity, or a competing alternative. Five variations of the same idea is one test, not five, and when it loses you've learned nothing.

Angle definition Hook writing Ad scripts Creative brief

Exit condition: a written brief with roughly five genuinely distinct angles, each with a hook, proof point, and call to action.

04

AI Ad Production

Assets are produced against the approved brief using AI-assisted workflows: static and short-form video, in the aspect ratios each placement needs. The speed matters because testing needs volume. The human review matters more: every asset gets a compliance pass against advertiser terms and platform standards before it goes anywhere near an ad account.

Static & video Hook variants Format delivery Policy review

Exit condition: a full creative set, compliance-reviewed, ready to upload.

05

Testing

Roughly five ads per ad set in an ABO structure, so each angle gets its own budget and its own honest read. Spend is deliberate and capped. Then the hard part: leaving it alone. The most expensive mistake in paid media is killing a campaign during the window where it looks bad and isn't yet finished telling you anything.

ABO structure ~5 ads per ad set Capped test budget Data thresholds

Exit condition: enough data to judge each angle against the threshold set in stage two, not before.

06

Optimization

Results get read against the pre-set threshold, with no retroactive goalposts. Then we isolate the weakest link: offer, angle, creative, or landing page. We change that one thing, and re-test. Most tests lose. A loss that identifies its own cause is a successful test with a negative result, and it makes the next one cheaper.

Threshold review Variable isolation Page & creative iteration Written outcome

Exit condition: a documented decision to scale, iterate, or stop, with the reasoning recorded.

07

Scaling

Proven creatives graduate into a CBO campaign with bid caps, and budget increases in steps rather than jumps. Scaling too fast resets the learning phase and can undo the exact performance you're trying to grow. Anything that fails its threshold is ended quickly and written up. Then the loop starts again with what we learned.

CBO graduation Bid caps Stepped budget increases Fast kill discipline

Exit condition: a campaign holding its target CPA at increased spend, or a clean shutdown and a documented reason.

Operating cadence

The loop only works if it actually closes.

A process document is worthless if nobody finishes the cycle. We run in focused work sessions, each with a single objective and a single tangible output, and each one ends by naming the next constraint. It's deliberately unglamorous.

  • One objective per session. Not a list of five things that all end at eighty percent.
  • One tangible output. A page, a creative set, a decision, a model. Something that exists afterward.
  • A defined success condition. Written before the work starts, so it can't move afterward.
  • The next constraint, named. Every session ends by identifying what's blocking the one after it.
  • Decisions written down. The record is what lets the operation improve instead of repeat itself.
Constraints

What the process explicitly rules out.

A method is defined as much by what it refuses as by what it does.

CONSTRAINT 01

No changing two things at once

If the creative and the landing page both change, the result is uninterpretable. One variable per test, always, even when it's slower.

CONSTRAINT 02

No moving the goalposts

The threshold is set before launch. A campaign that misses it doesn't get reinterpreted into a success because we liked the creative.

CONSTRAINT 03

No scaling on thin data

A promising first day is noise. Budget increases happen after the data supports them, in steps, not in jumps.

CONSTRAINT 04

No non-compliant shortcuts

No manufactured urgency, no unsubstantiated claims, no unauthorized brand assets. It ends partnerships and closes ad accounts.

CONSTRAINT 05

No emotional attachment

A creative we're proud of that misses its threshold gets turned off at the same speed as one we aren't. The data doesn't care.

CONSTRAINT 06

No undocumented outcomes

A test that isn't written up didn't happen. The next cycle inherits nothing, and the same money gets spent learning the same thing.
