Creative Testing & UGC
Ads that convert. We replace outdated brand guidelines with systematic testing of hooks, bodies, and CTAs for your e-commerce growth.
The Creative Trap: Why High-Budget Studio Videos Fail
Many brands spend thousands of euros on polished video productions and studio photography. But in a fast-paced social media feed, these high-end assets act as foreign bodies. They instantly scream 'AD!' — and the user scrolls right past.
UGC (User Generated Content) — authentic, smartphone-shot videos of real people using your product — yields up to 3x higher click-through rates (CTR). However, buying random UGC videos is no longer enough. The real lever lies in a disciplined **Creative Testing Framework**. We isolate hooks, bodies, and CTAs to locate your winning assets.
UGC & Creative Testing with Discipline
1. The 3x2x1 Hook- & Body-Framework
We don't fragment your testing budget. In every sprint, we isolate 3 hooks (the first 3 seconds to stop the scroll), 2 bodies (handling objections), and 1 CTA. This generates 6 clean variants for precise asset-level analysis.
2. Psychology-Driven Scriptwriting
Our videos aren't random. We write detailed scripts based on buyer reviews, competitor research, and psychological anchors (social proof, problem-solution arcs, immediate benefit framing).
3. Verified Creator Network
No need to film yourself. We tap into a curated network of performance-trained creators across Europe. We match the faces to your exact target demographics — whether Gen Z, young parents, or retirees.
Our Creative Sprint Process

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the core difference between UGC and studio photography?
Studio photos show the product in an artificial, perfect setting. UGC shows it in real life being used by real people. UGC blends natively into feeds and bypasses user ad blindness.
Do I have to film the content myself?
No. We handle the entire workflow. We source creators, ship your products, script the scenarios, and edit the raw footage in-house.
How does the 3x2x1 framework work?
We test 3 distinct video hooks, paired with 2 body concepts, and a single CTA. This lets us see inside the Ads Manager exactly where users dropped off.
How long does a winning ad typically perform?
Winning ads eventually suffer from 'ad fatigue.' Depending on your budget, a top-performing UGC video usually runs for 4 to 8 weeks before needing fresh hooks.
