Two weeks ago I created an ad that:

- Spent $200,000+
- Had a hook rate of +50%
- Outperformed everything else in the account

I did it using the CCS-Mashup Formula

Here’s how I did it and how you can do it too

<<<Bookmark this >>>
CCS-mashup stands for:

Creator
Customer
Static

Mashup

Weird name, I know - but trust me, it works wonders

Here’s how you make it 👇
Step 1:

You source high-quality and attention-grabbing HOOKS through UGC content creators.

You don’t really need other than a great hook and a great CTA from them.

So instead of paying them for saying “Oh I love this that”

Just pay them for a bunch of Hooks and CTA’s
Step 2:

Source authentic, customer generated content. Also known as Real UGC (coined by yours truly ;) )
Step 3:
Source static images of before and after using your product (if a visible difference can be seen ofc)
Step 4:

Stir it all together

… and voila!

U got yourself a **potentially** banger ad creative (if you do it right ofc)

This was one of our best performing creatives last week - where we used this exact formula to create it
Go test it out and let me know the results

At Obvi, we seed +100 influencers PER WEEK. Here’s a dead-simple way to get

=> Authentic UGC on auto-pilot
=> Posted on influencers profiles without paying an arm and a leg
=> Build a pool of REAL brand-advocates

… all without burning tons of cash on influencers and agencies Image
Step 1: Find people who fit your target demo

For some brands, this is easy peasy - and for others this is a pain in the A’s

There are generally two ways you can go about it:
Method 1: Use a platform like @Insense_pro - which has a large network of influencers who are looking for brands to work with

This can save you A LOT of hours of manual cold DMing and negotiations back and forth

If you have a bit of cash and want to go fast - then this the way

The quality of your UGC content depends on the briefs you provide to your creators

… but creating briefs can take AGES sometimes.

So how do you create briefs in an efficient, yet detailed manner where you still ensure quality of output?

This is what has been working for us👇
So, the general principle you have to bear in mind when creating briefs is that: The better your input to the creator - the better output you’ll get from them.

Therefore, putting effort into your creative briefs is definitely worth it.
The structure that has been working for us thus far looks as the following.

- Product intro
- Video requirements
- Inspiration script / or actual script they need to follow word-for-word ish
- To-remember list (basics, just as light and so on)
- Shot list
- Inspiration list

Increasing your Creative Testing Velocity is one of the best levers you can pull to slash your CAC (from a paid media perspective)

… But, testing a high volume of creatives is HARD

Here are the different ways you can source & test +40 creatives per week
So, firstly - let me just clarify by saying: YES - the quality of the creatives matters too (and that’s for another thread), but if you can’t pump out large numbers of creatives, consistently - then you might have a hard time sustaining performance, as ads fatigue over time.
Alright, so here are the 3 ways you can build out a (UGC) content system that allows you to scale AND maintain consistent results in your ad account. The reason why I’m choosing to write about UGC is because it is typically the hardest content system to nail.

I will die on this hill. 🛑

If you want to unleash the full potential of your brand...

You NEED to build & cultivate a community.

Here are my TOP 3 reasons why. 👇
1) Community Can Be A Strong Marketing Tool 💪

By building up our Obvi Community of 60K members we're able to leverage this as a core marketing asset.

The biggest question we get is "Does This Product Work"

And to that we say, talk to any one of our 60K members and find out!
2) Community Can Provide Valuable Feedback & Insight 👀

Since launching in 2019, Obvi has launched over 26+ Flavors of our Flag Ship Product.

Most launches generate over 6 figures in revenue.

How? Because we simply asked our community what flavors they wanted from us.

Simple.

I spent $795,127 on TikTok ads this year. 🤯

And this was single-handedly the BEST creative in our ad account.

What's the secret?

Let’s break down 4 reasons this ad crushed, so you can apply the learnings to make better video ads! 🧵👇
1\ Strong Hook🪝

"This is my secret to a non-bloated stomach & healthy gut"

Why do I like this?

1) Instead of calling out the user directly, the creator is talking about a "relatable" personal problem that she fixed.

2) Peaks interest for high thumbstop. "What is the secret?"
2\ Fast Paced 💨

THIS is important.

There isn't a single frame/scene that is longer than 2-3 seconds.

The frame keeps changing and something new is constantly happening throughout the video.

This SIGNIFICANTLY helps improve watch times and retains users throughout the video.
