🌟 What makes an ad cut through the noise? This week’s standout creative shows how authenticity and quality go hand in hand. 🎥 Here’s why it’s connecting: 1️⃣ Authenticity at its best: The creator’s natural, conversational tone feels like catching up with an old friend. The casual vibe—filming while making coffee and chatting to the camera—makes it real and relatable. 2️⃣ A creator who gets it: Their ability to balance authenticity with polished execution stood out. The quality of the footage—simple yet professional—paired with their engaging delivery, created an ad that feels effortless but still meets the high standards of our client. It’s a reminder that great creative isn’t just about what you say, but how you deliver it. 🙌 3️⃣ A hook that pulls you in: The ad opens with, “We don’t talk enough about the hidden cost of stress.” It’s a statement that resonates instantly, sparking curiosity and encouraging viewers to keep watching. Pairing this powerful hook with authentic delivery is what makes it truly memorable. #performancemarketing #meta #dtc #catalystgrowth

What Makes Ads Get High Spend & Low CPA? Here’s How We Nailed It This Week 🔥 This week, one of our ads truly stole the show, and here’s why: ⭐ An Enticing Hook The ad kicks off with a setup that draws you in—a "blind taste test" that leaves viewers curious to see how it plays out. It's the perfect bait to keep audiences engaged. ⭐ Genuine Reactions There’s nothing more relatable than authenticity. The boyfriend’s first-time reaction to Free Soul Greens feels unfiltered and real, creating a connection that viewers trust and believe. ⭐ A Natural Storytelling Style The dialogue flows effortlessly, like a friend sharing their latest find rather than a brand pitching a product. It’s personal, conversational and effective. Authenticity, engagement and relatability—this ad had it all. Curious to see more insights into what makes an ad perform exceptionally well? Let’s connect and discuss. What’s your take on creating ads that resonate? Drop your thoughts below! #performancemarketing #meta #dtc #catalystgrowth

What Are The Best Six Metrics For Analysing Creative? 🤔 It’s understandable to say that analysing data can be difficult when not streamlined correctly. That’s why I’ve created my top six metrics to look out for when it comes to performance for Meta. 1. Hold Rate 2. Hook Rate 3. CTR 4. CVR 5. Spend 6. ROAS (& CPA!) If you’re struggling to scale spend and maintain ROAS or CPA at the same time, drop me a line and we can go into more detail! Catalyst 🚀 #performancemarketing #meta #dtc #scale #catalystgrowth

This Ad Has Been Taking Over The Internet 🚨 As time passes, we are seeing more ads on TikTok and Instagram that takes accidents in real time that transitions into a business pitch for consumers to watch. The shock value from the transition creates hysterical meme culture, resonating with young people who have grown up using memes. Most of these advertisements have come from smaller businesses, but could the giants learn from this de-tour in advertising? #dtc #performancemarketing #catalystgrowth #tiktok

Creative should always lead with the intention of relatability. With a human-first approach, this gives people the ability to connect first, as content — regardless of if its an ad or not — should feel intentional. Check our video out for examples! 🚀
If you're still not running UGC ads, this is for you. 🙋♂️ When we're brought in to turn around meta growth for a DTC brand the biggest bottleneck is always the willingness of the internal team to test creative that's native to the platform. You'd be surprised how many brands still push back against best practice UGC creative. To any brands out there still considering whether or not to take the 'brand capital' risk and run UGC ads, this is your sign to bite the bullet and do it. We've tested it for dozens and dozens of brands and spent over $200mil across meta; UGC works and its fastest way you can drive growth. Why? Branded/aesthetic content is too produced, it's jarring for a user who's scrolling through raw content to see something polished amongst it all. Some of the best ads i’ve seen are made by those at home, who understand what it’s like to be a viewer - the ones that are led by them first. It may be a simple concept, but it’s an important reminder. 🏴☠️ Catalyst 🚀 #dtc #ugc #meta #performancemarketing #catalystgrowth
