There is no question. Platforms and experts all agree that creative has the largest impact on campaign performance. Improving creative has a direct impact on your results. Any increase in creative performance creates a proportionate increase in your results. Creative is one of the few metrics that can alone have a 10x improvement.
Creative is more important now than ever. With new privacy and anti-tracking updates being released by platforms, targeting specific personas is becoming increasingly difficult or otherwise gone. Creative is now a primary way to reach those personas within broader audiences. With strategic creatives, you can get the algorithm to find the right personas even when there is very limited targeting.

The Power of Creative
Why Your Creative Is Hurting You
Anyone can make creative. It is very difficult to make creative that converts.
This is because most creative is made for people who are ready to buy. These people just need a reminder to act. The problem is that <3% of people in a market are ready to buy at any given time. By using this standard creative, you are turning off 97% of people, an audience 33x+ larger.
Creative must take into account the market's consumer segmentation and speak to people at different levels of awareness. A customer's awareness stage determines what kinds of creative they will respond to. Talking about features is useful for a person that is brand-aware. It means little to someone that is problem-unaware. This is why most creatives don't work. They ignore consumer segmentation and speak to everyone like a buyer.
It's getting much harder to produce creatives that convert. Ad density, the amount of ads a person sees in a session, has been increasing for years. As a result, ad blindness, where people automatically ignore ads when browsing, has gotten much worse. Due to increasing targeting restrictions on platforms from privacy updates, your creative must appeal to broader audiences or else it won't work. This is why so many creatives fail no matter how much is invested into them.

Why Market Research Doesn't Work
Market research is often the first step in the creative process. However, it is fundamentally flawed.
Standard market research (ex: personas, surveys, focus groups) is not good enough to get major insights. It can sometimes answer the less important "what" but cannot answer the most important "why".
The "why" is what makes people remember a brand. It's why they come back for more. It's the key to making creative that doesn't just convert, but goes viral.
We've developed a proven process to get to the "why" in ways no one else can.

UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE

How do you produce creatives that convert? Why can less than 0.1% of agencies do this consistently?
Is it luck or intelligence? The answer is neither.
We have a fundamentally different approach. From our technical academic background, we understand the science of conversion. The key to high performing creatives is deeply understanding the customer POV and speaking so strongly to it that your message resonates with them, driving them to action.
We developed a scientifically proven process to uncover this POV. We use digital ethnographies to extract this. We perform remote interactive research studies. We observe target personas in their natural environments. By doing this, we obtain the holy grail of data: in situ insights. These are insights into their complete customer journey both online and offline. We see them shop, receive and use your products as well as competitors. Many category-leading breakthroughs and billions of dollars have come from these hidden insights.
We then build campaigns with them, testing creative and copy. We don't focus on superficial things like features or benefits. We uncover the positioning needed to make them not just buy, but fall in love with your product. This is how we create winning viral ads that work the first time without any ad spend.
This is how you make irresistible creative.
