Before you spend another €10,000 on Meta, find out where it is actually going.
Twenty minutes, no deck. Bring the ad account and we'll tell you what's actually happening before you spend another euro.
A concept is a new idea with its own angle. A version is a tested winner rebuilt with a new hook, a new proof point or a new format. You pay for what comes out and how fast, not for hours.
For finding out whether we are any good before committing to anything.

Condé NastZalando
Condé NastZalandoA small, approved selection of campaigns we're actually allowed to talk about. Names withheld — not a mystery, just an NDA. Ask on the call and we'll show you the rest.
Nobody goes to TikTok looking for a university brochure. We stopped communicating like an institution and built content around the people, culture and questions prospective students actually cared about.
The brand was advertising collections. Customers were buying outfits. We shifted from campaign imagery to fit, styling and "three ways to wear it" creative built around how people actually shop.
People liked the product once they understood how it would live in their home. The ads weren't giving them that context. We moved from isolated product imagery to rooms, dimensions, use cases and "will this fit?" creative.
We are judged on watch rate, hold rate and cost per sale, not on the portfolio. Every batch comes with a note on what won, what died and what we think that tells us. If a concept does not beat your control in three weeks we kill it rather than defend it.
Creative lands weekly, not in one dump at month end. You know the delivery date for a batch before we start it, and if something slips you hear it the day we know, not the day it is due.
Before the first batch we read your reviews, your support tickets and your competitors' longest-running ads, then send you the angle list for approval. You see whether we get it before any design work starts.
Three months, then month to month with 30 days notice. You own every file and every working source, including the ones that did not work. If we are not earning the retainer you should be able to leave.
Most agencies bill you per asset, so testing gets expensive and quietly stops happening. We film once and cut fourteen ways, which is why we can afford to bin the twelve that do not work.
Three endings, written down before anything starts. Agencies that cannot say "this isn't working" will spend your money forever. The loops in full →

DailyThe ad is half of it. We test the page and the offer against the same number.
14 daysWhere you rank on Google, and whether you come up when someone asks a model what to buy.
WeeklyEach loop runs on the packages that include it. The audit tells you which are worth running before you buy any of them.
You find out what is broken before anyone spends a day making anything.
Testing stays cheap, so we can afford to bin the twelve that do not work.
