Booking new DTC brands for October

Meta ads that open with the problem.

The difference

Most ads sell the product.
Mine sell the relief.

Typical creative

Product-forward, easy to scroll past.

  • Opens with a clean product shot and a logo
  • Copy talks about features nobody asked about
  • Looks like every other ad in the feed
  • Low CTR, rising CPCs, creative fatigue
Problem-first creative

Opens with the thought your customer already has.

  • Hook names the exact frustration in their words
  • Side-by-side comparisons make the switch obvious
  • Product shows up as the payoff, not the setup
  • Built to be tested, iterated, and scaled

What kind of brands do you work with?

DTC brands selling on Meta, especially sleep, skincare, supplements and consumer products where the customer has a clear, relatable problem.

My focus is the creative: angles, hooks, copy and design. You or your media buyer launch it. I'm happy to advise on how to structure the test.

What do I need to provide?

Product photos or access to your assets, a quick brief on your customer, and anything you know about what has or hasn't worked before.

How fast is turnaround?

How is pricing set?

By batch size and scope. Tell me what you need in the contact form and I'll send a clear quote, no retainer required to start.

Testing problem-first hooks on my own brand.

01 · The problem

Safe ads, low engagement.

I launched Snoozio myself and ran its Meta ads end to end. My first creative was product-forward: clean product shots, safe copy, low engagement. The ads weren't earning their scroll.

Every ad opened with the customer's own thought, not the product.

02 · The test

Three angles, one framework.

I rewrote the framework around what actually stops scrolls in the sleep category. Three angles went live:

Compare"Your $8 Mask vs. Snoozio"
Problem"Awake at 3AM again?"
Upgrade"Your old mask is ruining your sleep"

The product shows up in the payoff, not the setup.

03 · The result

A new control to beat.

The two strongest were "Awake at 3AM" (4.75% link CTR, $0.92 CPC) and "$8 Mask vs. Snoozio" (4.53% link CTR, $0.96 CPC). The problem-first hook is now the control that new creative tests against.
