PAIN POINTS

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Your creative process is the bottleneck to your next level of scale.

These are the problems that keep DTC brands stuck — and exactly what I solve.

“Throwing creative at the wall”

“Throwing creative at the wall”

You’re launching ads without a system behind them. No research framework, no angle mapping, no iteration process. Some ads hit, most don’t, and you can’t explain why either way.

“Winners die and nothing replaces them"

“Winners die and nothing replaces them"

You find an ad that scales — then watch it fatigue with no plan to extend the win. No feedback loop connecting performance data back to new concepts. Every batch starts from zero.

You’ve hired ‘creative people’ who can’t think like marketers.

You’ve hired ‘creative people’ who can’t think like marketers.

Pretty ads that don’t convert. Freelancers who can’t read a dashboard. Agencies that send you 20 concepts but can’t tell you which desire each one targets or why.

AI-Powered
Creative Production

I use AI to generate performance-ready assets at a speed and volume that a traditional team can’t match. Not generic AI slop. Trained, prompted, and refined against what’s actually converting in your account.

Built on Systems,
Not Guesswork

Every ad traces back to a researched desire, a mapped angle, and a tested framework. When something wins, I know why, and I can replicate it. When something loses, the system tells us what to try next.

Feedback Loop
That Compounds

Every performance cycle feeds the next one. I analyze what’s spending, diagnose what’s not, and turn those insights into the next batch of briefs. Your creative gets sharper with every iteration, not more random.

CPA down 19%. With 90% AI-generated assets.

CPA down 19%.
With 90% AI-generated assets.

$100K/month in Meta spend.

In a single 30-day cycle (Feb 8 - Mar 7), 90% of all live ads were built with AI-generated model and product assets, not stock, not studio shoots.

The result: CPA dropped from $36.43 to $29.56 while maintaining full spend.

This is what AI-powered creative looks like when it’s backed by strategy — not just prompted, but researched, briefed, and built inside a system that knows what’s already working.

$104 CPA → $35 CPA.
First month.

Bioligent had been running ads for their Black Seed Oil for six months at a $104 average CPA.

Within the first 30 days of working together, that dropped to $35 — a 66% reduction.

Same product. Same offer. Different creative strategy.

The difference was the research. Deep market immersion, mapped desires, and ads built to speak to what buyers were already feeling, not what the brand assumed they wanted to hear.

One static ad. $540K in spend. $956K in sales.

One static ad. $540K in spend.
$956K in sales.

This ad wasn’t polished. No lifestyle shoot. No agency-approved aesthetic.

It was a static creative built on one thing: the right desire, matched to the right message, at the right awareness level.

CPA dropped from $38 to $26. 14% below target.
$540K in spend. $956K in sales. All from one ad.

Pretty ads get attention. The right message scales — even 'ugly' ones.

HOW IT WORKS

No long-term lock-in. No guesswork.
Just a proven process that compounds results.

Step 1: Discovery Call

We talk about your brand, your numbers, and where your creative is falling short. If we're a fit, we move to a trial — no long-term commitment upfront.

Step 2: Trial Period

I immerse in your brand, research your market, map your angles, and deliver a full cycle of creative: strategy, briefs, AI assets, and copy. You see the process and the output before you commit to anything ongoing.

Step 3: Scale Together

Once the system is running, we compound it. Every batch builds on what the data tells us: new angles from the feedback loop, iterated winners, fresh concepts backed by performance. The cadence flexes to match your spend and your goals.

Currently somewhere in Southeast Asia. I move light and build heavy. I'm drawn to patterns before they become obvious and to systems that remove me as the bottleneck.

But strip all of that away, and I'm really just someone trying to understand people. What they desire. What moves them before they even know they're moving. I built a career on that question. It started long before the career did, and it won't end with it.

I take on a small number of brand partners at any given time. If you think about creative as a system and not a guessing game, I'm always open to connecting.

ABOUT ME

I'm Bern — a DTC Creative Strategist specializing in Meta advertising.

I build the creative systems that turn ad spend into scalable revenue. Strategy, research, creative development, performance analysis, and the feedback loops that connect them. Run by one person, powered by systems most teams haven't built yet.

Most creative workflows are broken. Random concepts. No research behind the angles. No feedback loop connecting performance data to the next batch. That's the gap I close.

I've worked with DTC brands across men's apparel, supplements, wellness, and skincare, building the infrastructure that lets creative decisions compound instead of reset every cycle.
