In this episode, we sit down with Aves, Creative Lead & Partnerships at Pilothouse Digital, to unpack how DTC brands must rethink their creative strategy in the age of Meta’s Andromeda algorithm.

For performance marketers and DTC founders scaling from $5–20M+.

Tactical Takeaways:

  • Why the “one winner ad” model no longer works in Meta’s current landscape
  • How to identify customer motivations (not just demographics) and map them to creative
  • A practical framework for testing hooks: swap visuals first, not just voiceovers or copy
  • How to build a full creative range — from low-effort UGC to high-budget studio work — for each persona
  • What creative audits should look like heading into Q4 and how to avoid “noise” in your ad account
  • Who this is for: DTC brand founders, heads of creative, performance marketers

What to steal:

  • Steal the “motivation-based segmentation” mindset in your ad strategy
  • Steal the 3–5 second visual hook test framework (visual first, audio later)
  • Steal the creative range checklist (iPhone shot → studio shot) to audit your account this week
