# Ad Creative

Ad creative has about 1.5 seconds to earn attention or be scrolled past. Generic brand awareness creative fails; specific, relevant, valuable creative earns the click.

## Principles
- **Native to the feed.** It should look like the content around it, not interrupt it. Polished TV-style ads get swiped; authentic-feeling content stops the scroll.
- **Hook in frame one.** The first thing visible must earn the next second. Don't build to a reveal; lead with it.
- **Show the benefit, not the feature.** A 10-second demo of the outcome beats a feature list.
- **One message.** Multiple value props in a 15s ad land none.

## Iterate fast
Creative fatigues fast. The winning ad today is dead in a week. Build a pipeline of variants and refresh constantly; one hit carries the budget.
