    The situation

    Finding an ad-creative strategy that genuinely resonated with the product's core user segments.

    Ad creative built on what the team wanted to say

    The approach

      • Polled users directly to identify core needs ("Which of these is most valuable to you?")
      • Identified the key user value props from the responses
        • Cost savings over the alternatives
        • Achieving specific health goals
        • Doctor or trusted-expert approval
        • Solving a specific, urgent need
      • Translated each validated value prop into its own ad-creative territory, hook, and messaging framework
    Asked users directly, then built the creative on their answers

    Most ad-creative strategy starts from what the team wants to say. This started from what users said they valued. Direct polling turned a guessing game into four distinct creative territories, each anchored to a value prop we already knew resonated, ready to test with real spend.
