Key takeaways

  • Brands are beginning to use creative as the driving mechanism to targeting; broad targeting and allowing the creative to resonate with desired audiences.
  • Performance creative should have: product in use, authenticity, pull emotion, and have an open question – brands only have ~3 seconds to grab attention.
  • Iterative testing: Always test different (diverse) variations of your current creative.
  • Brands are being cash-efficient by extending the shelf-life of content and repurposing their creative.
  • Brands shouldn't duplicate creative for Facebook and expect it to work in Pinterest, Snapchat, or TikTok – there is a difference in the audiences of shoppers.
