From the ads we read

Most ad accounts look busy. Few have range.

We read the newest ads of US DTC brands in Meta’s public Ad Library. The pattern repeats: plenty of ads, very few ideas behind them.

100+

active Meta ads at the median brand we read.

≈7

different headlines behind all of those ads, at the median.

brands ran five headlines or fewer across their newest ads.

How we count

We count ideas, not ads.

Meta groups ads that look and say the same thing. So does a buyer’s brain. Here’s what an ad account looks like when you count it the way they do.

Step 1 · The account

47ads

What Ads Manager shows. It feels like a lot of testing.

Step 2 · The executions

11executions

Group them by edit, background and voice. Most “new” ads are the same ad, recut.

Step 3 · The concepts

4concepts

Group them by who they speak to, why that person buys and what they see first. 31 of the 47 ads are a single idea.

Active ads47

Why it matters now

Meta now grades the variety in your ads.

Since late August 2026, Ads Manager can show a Creative diversity rating for each ad set: Low, Medium or High. More edits of the same ad are unlikely to move it. Different ideas can: a new person the ad is for, a new reason to buy, a new first two seconds.

Different ideas are the only thing we make.

Meta describes the rating as estimated and in development. Sources: Marketing Brew, Sep 28, 2026 · Common Thread Collective, Sep 9, 2026.

What you get

25 new concepts a month. Ready to run.

We find the concepts. Your team scales them. You never have to ask for “something fresh” again.

See a sample Concept Sheet

01

25 finished ads. 25 different ideas.

Each built on its own concept: who it’s for, why they’d buy, what they see in the first two seconds.

02

Ready to upload.

Two hooks per concept, sized for Feed and Reels, files named by concept so you read results by idea.

03

A Concept Sheet for each.

The customer insight, the evidence, a beat-by-beat breakdown, five more hooks and how to remake it.

04

Winners get scaled.

On day 14, we read results by concept. Winners get new executions the next month. The library stays yours.

How it works

From your reviews to ready-to-run ads.

A fixed process with a fixed output. You always know what lands, and when.

The full method
  1. Week 0 · Research

    We read everything first.

    Your reviews, including the one- to three-star ones. Your competitors’ worst reviews. Every ad you’re running, mapped by concept.

    Out: your concept count

  2. Week 1 · Concept Map

    You pick 25 of 40.

    Forty concept cards, scored on evidence and on distance from what you already run. You approve ideas, not files. Nothing is produced until you pick.

    Out: 40 cards, 25 approved

  3. Weeks 1–4 · Production

    Weekly batches, ready to upload.

    Six to seven finished concepts a week, sized for Feed and Reels, named by concept, each with its Concept Sheet. One round of adjustments, in one list.

    Out: 25 ads · 25 sheets

  4. Day 14 · The read

    Results by concept.

    We read what each idea did, not each file. Winners get new executions the next month. Every concept stays in a library you own.

    Out: winners to scale

Our standards

AI speeds up the work. A person decides what runs.

Four rules every concept passes before it reaches your account. They protect your brand, and they protect your ad account.

RULE 01

No fake testimonials.

An AI person never speaks as your customer. Real voices come from real customers or real creators.

RULE 02

Your real product.

Label, logo, color and shape checked frame by frame before anything leaves the studio.

RULE 03

Only claims you approved.

Nothing about weight, cures or before-and-after unless your legal team signed it.

RULE 04

Deadlines are sacred.

Batches land on the day we promised. If anything might slip, you hear it from us first.
