/ The work

(01)

The work speaks. The clients stay anonymous.

Every clip below shipped to a paying client's ad account. Names are withheld at our clients' request — their creative pipeline is a competitive edge, and we protect it the way we'd protect yours. Named case studies, spend levels, and iteration history are walked through live on a call.

/ Range, on one client

(02)

Same client. Same brief cadence. Four shapes.

These four ads shipped to one client's account: a spectacle UGC hook, a street interview, a two-character podcast spot, and a paper-craft animated explainer. When one shape fatigues, the next is already testing — that's what format breadth is for.

/ Formats

(03)

Most shops sell you the format they know how to make.

The format should follow the message. We produce twelve families — fifty live variants across lengths, ratios, and placements — so the brief picks the shape, not the other way around.

/ Process

(04)

Brief today. Ads inside the week.

Day 0

The brief

One thirty-minute call: your product, your claims, what's winning and what's fatiguing in your account right now. That's the last meeting you need.

Day 2

Scripts land

Multiple concepts across the formats that fit the message — hooks varied per concept, claims-aware copy for regulated verticals. You approve or kill in one pass.

Days 3–6

Production

Casting, shoot, edit, captions, overlays. Our platform does the heavy lifting; our creative directors read every frame before it moves.

Day 7

Hand-delivered

Ready-to-ship files for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Amazon — named, sized, captioned, disclosure metadata handled. Not raw footage. Not a Frame.io link.

Unlimited paid usage included

Meta & TikTok disclosure metadata handled

Claims review for regulated verticals

No fake-consumer testimonials, ever

Three pipelines, by the numbers.

Anonymized at our clients' request. Every number below is a production fact from our own database — nothing modeled, nothing projected. Performance numbers and named walk-throughs happen live on the call.

Ramp speed in a regulated vertical: every script passes a claims gate before production, so volume never puts the ad account or the brand at compliance risk. Clay, 3D, and anime explainers alongside live-action UGC.

/ Why this works

(06)

We built the factory. We still read every frame.

We built our own production platform. That's the whole reason ten ads now cost what one used to — and why a weekly testing cadence stopped being a luxury reserved for brands with in-house studios.

What the platform doesn't do is ship anything on its own. Every ad is briefed, directed, and reviewed by people who have shipped hundreds of paid ads and killed more than they've shipped. Anything that looks synthetic, sounds canned, or reads like it was written by a checklist dies before you see it.

You've seen what the cheap version of this looks like — the fifty-cents-a-video mills flooding your feed. That's not a production model, it's a spam model. Ours is the opposite bet: the economics are new, the standard isn't.

/ Straight answers

(08)

The questions buyers actually ask.

Is this AI-generated?+

Some of it, yes — we built our own production platform, and it's the reason ten ads cost what one used to. What it isn't is unsupervised. Every ad is planned, directed, reviewed, and cut by people who have shipped hundreds of paid ads, and anything that looks or sounds off gets killed before you ever see it. You're buying the output and the judgment, not the tooling.

Will these ads get my ad account flagged?+

No — this is something we treat as part of the deliverable. Every asset ships with correct Meta and TikTok AI-disclosure metadata where required, we never produce fake-consumer testimonials, and claims copy for regulated verticals (supplements, health, finance) goes through a claims review before delivery. Your account health is the whole business; we don't gamble with it.

What does it cost?+

$200 per finished 30-second ad, everything included — script, casting, production, edit, captions, platform-ready delivery, and unlimited paid usage rights. Longer cuts scale with length, and volume pipelines are quoted in writing on the first call. No retainer, no usage-rights renewals, no gotchas.

Why is the work anonymous?+

Because our clients' ad accounts are their competitive edge, and most ask us not to name them. Everything on this page shipped to a paying client's ad account. On a call we'll walk you through named work, numbers, and iteration history — we just don't publish it.

Who owns the ads?+

You do. Unlimited paid usage across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Amazon is included in every delivery. No usage-rights renewals, no whitelisting surcharges, no gotchas later.

How fast is it, really?+

Scripts land within 48 hours of the brief. Finished, ready-to-ship ads typically land inside a week — and once a pipeline is running, new concepts and iterations ship weekly. Across all clients we currently finish roughly 45–50 ads a week.

What do you need from us?+

One thirty-minute brief: your product, your claims, what's working and dying in your account right now. We handle everything after that — scripts, casting, production, edit, captions, delivery. You review; we ship.
