My Role:

I oversaw the end-to-end creative process, including:

• Crafting data-driven scripts focused on audience pain points.

2. Authenticity Through UGC:

• Leveraged a UGC approach with testimonial-style visuals to create a relatable, trustworthy tone.

• Worked closely with actors and creators to ensure natural delivery aligned with the brand’s voice.

3. Iterative Testing:

• Tested multiple ad variations to optimize engagement, click-through rates, and conversions.

• Made real-time adjustments based on performance data to scale the best-performing creative.

Results:

While specific metrics are under NDA, the campaign exceeded predefined goals for new subscriptions and ROI, demonstrating the effectiveness of the storytelling and creative strategy.

Key Takeaways:

This project reinforced the importance of balancing authenticity and strategic messaging in subscription-based advertising. By focusing on audience needs and leveraging UGC, the ads successfully drove engagement and conversions at scale.
