A+ vibes. F- execution.


Hi [FULL_NAME GOES HERE],

I just watched a team light $100,000 on fire. Not literally. But close enough.

Soooo I was auditing this account that was spending in the six figures.

They had this BEAUTIFUL creative briefing deck.

I mean, this thing was a masterpiece:

✅ Hypotheses laid out like a scientific paper

✅ Cutesy little gifs to showcase every concept

✅ Brand values articulated with surgical precision

✅ Shot sequences scripted better than most Netflix shows

It was the kind of document that creative teams frame and hang on their walls.

Just one tiny problem…

The account was BURNING TO THE GROUND.

CPAs skyrocketing. ROAS in freefall. Performance dropping faster than the S&P 500.

And you know how many new ads they were running each month with this immaculate strategy while spending 6 figures monthly?

FOUR.

That’s not a typo.

FOUR ADS.

I'll be brutally honest here.

That’s not a creative strategy.

That’s a guessing game in slow motion.

I should say: a trainwreck in slow motion.

It’s like trying to win the lottery by buying four tickets a month and being REALLY confident about your numbers.

I wanted to grab them by the shoulders and scream: “THIS ISN’T ART SCHOOL!”

Because here’s the awkward truth nobody in marketing wants to admit....

The key to winning in a Gen AI world isn’t your “brand alignment”… …or your “emotionally resonant copy” …or your “perfect hero shot.”

It’s more shots on goal. Period.

I don’t care if you have the most brilliant creative brief ever written. If you’re testing 4 ads while your competitor tests 40, you’re going to LOSE. Every. Single. Time.

This is why our team is absolutely crushing it right now with AI. Because we are laser focused on CREATING & TESTING AT SCALE.

More hooks. More angles. More weird ideas that have a chance of working out.

Look, I’m not saying quality doesn’t matter AT ALL.

...cuz you cant get away with testing 40 crappy ads.

In a Gen AI world though, quality vs. quantity is a false dichotomy.

You can make a TON of ads - and have them be very strategic, well planned and well executed.

This is why our approach has completely changed over the last year or so:

BEFORE: 5-10 meticulously crafted ads per month

NOW: 50-100 ads monthly testing different hooks, angles, and approaches.

The results?

We’ve seen CPAs drop by 30-50% on many engagements.

Not because our IQs skyrocketed. Not because our design skills got better. But because we take MORE SHOTS ON GOAL.

Soooo if you’re competing in a Gen AI world and you’re still precious about your creative, you’re literally burning money.

If you are at $50k/mo in ad spend and want to explore how to win by taking more shots on goal, hit reply with “SHOTS” and let’s talk about how we can help you scale your creative testing to find the winners that actually move the needle.

P.S. The “brand purists” are going to HATE this email. But I’m tired of watching smart marketers waste money on perfect briefs that produce four precious ads a month when they could be testing 10x more concepts.

Hi [FULL_NAME GOES HERE], ZERO. That was the number I wrote on the whiteboard. A month into my new role as Director of Growth, I stood in front of our five-person company, grabbed a marker… and said: “We need to shut off all ad spend.” Not cut. Not reduce. Zero. Cold turkey. It was one of the most emotionally difficult decisions I’ve ever made. Because let’s be real: I wasn’t just pausing ad spend. I was shutting down my own function. I was saying: “The thing I was hired to do? The thing I’ve...

Hi [FULL_NAME GOES HERE], I hear it ALL. THE. TIME. “We’ve hit our ceiling.” “Our product is too mature.” “We’ve tapped out our audience.” They’ve got six figures in spend, maybe 5-6 figures in DAU. They’re running a handful of ads a month. Performance has plateaued. And they’re wondering if that’s just the ceiling. And every time, I want to reach through my screen and shake these people. Let me tell you why…. I worked on Words With Friends. Not when it was shiny and new. When it was 8 YEARS...

Hi [FULL_NAME GOES HERE], In 2013, I started my career in B2C mobile marketing. My first big project? A Bingo game. And I remember thinking: “How many middle-aged people could there really be in America playing bingo on their phones?” That was my actual thought. Two weeks in, I saw the monthly budget that I needed to manage for this Bingo game. $1.75 million Just me. No roadmap. No junior marketers to do grunt work. And I was not ready. I couldn’t wrap my head around how one person could be...
