How I work

Built for testing,
not just for looks.

01 Research
Reviews, comments and the Meta Ad Library to find the angles your customers already care about.
02 Hooks
3–5 hooks per concept. The first 3 seconds decide if anyone watches.
03 Edit
Tight pacing, captions, sound and offer graphics, with safe zones for every placement.
04 Test & iterate
Variations ready to test. I read CTR, hold rate and ROAS, then build on what wins.

FAQ

Good to know.

What do you need from me to start?

Your product, offer and target customer, any raw footage or UGC you have, brand guidelines, and a few ads you like. I’ll take it from there.

Do you only edit, or also plan the creative?

Both. I suggest angles and hooks from your reviews and competitor ads, then edit and deliver variations ready to test.

Which formats and platforms?

Meta (Facebook & Instagram) and TikTok: 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1, with captions and safe zones for each placement. Static ads too.

Can you work with AI video?

Yes. AI avatars, voice-overs and product visuals, combined with real footage and packshots.

Which languages?

German, English and other European languages. I work from Budapest on CET.
