Creative Analysis Metrics Breakdown

Key metrics to consider:

• Thumbnail Retention: Aim for viewers to pause within the first second. A below 90% rate signals the need for a more compelling hook.
• Thumbstop Ratio: Striving for over 30% here indicates your ad is engaging right off the bat.
• Hold Rate and Average Watch Time: Longer watch times not only lower ad costs but improve placement, indicating user engagement.
• Video Drop-Offs: Pinpointing drop-off points helps in making targeted enhancements.
• CTR (Click-Through Rate): Rates below 1% need improvement; 1%-2% is solid, and above 2% is outstanding.

Iteration Strategies

Updating your ads regularly is crucial for keeping your campaigns interesting and attracting attention. Incorporating user-generated content into each campaign can make a big difference. It connects you with creators who can create personalized ad videos for you in just 14 days.

Hook Testing

The hook is your ad’s first impression, crucial for capturing interest. By varying your hooks within successful ad frameworks, you can explore new audience segments.

Additional Iteration Ideas
