"Lifestyle-first visuals. Value messaging in the second half."

Fresh Clean Threads: The pattern that wouldn't quit

Featured: The Ad Everyone Would've Killed

Sydney Sweeney was trending. I moved fast.

American Eagle's campaign was everywhere. FCT had a shoot that was underperforming. I reworked it in hours to ride the wave. Same assets, new angle. ROAS went from dead to dominant. Lemon into lemonade.

Fresh Clean Threads

I found the pattern. Then I scaled it.

What I Built

A diagnostic layer that surfaced what was working and why. Hook scores, dwell time, intent signals, comment sentiment. The Butcher ad validated the pattern: sustained spend over months, strong CTR, real shares. People don't share ads unless the ad has a point.

What Happened

Hundreds of ads designed in partnership with FCT's internal team, production coordinators, and our media buyers. Monthly video productions alongside the static work. The creative ran over a year without fatigue.

The Pattern

Lifestyle-first visuals. Value messaging in the second half. Let them see themselves in the product before you ask for the sale. This wasn't a guess. It emerged from reading the data beyond surface metrics. The best performers had dwell time, had shares, had comments that weren't spam. I documented the pattern, taught it to the team, and watched it hold.

"Almost entirely promotional creative. For a mattress."

Casper: What I walked into

Featured: AI-Native Production. Concept to Hero, Solo

Same eye. Faster hands.

The Goldilocks campaign wasn't about AI for AI's sake. It was about proving a concept fast. I wrote the scripts, generated the images, assembled the video, and built the static variants. Solo. Higgsfield AI, Photoshop, After Effects. The diagnostic lens I use manually? I've encoded it into AI workflows. Same thinking, more output.

I changed the ratio.

The Problem

Before I onboarded, the account was almost entirely promotional. Discounts, sales, urgency. For a considered purchase like a mattress. No angle testing. No message variety. No story. Just promos in a category where everyone's running promos.

The Strategy

Built a testing framework around angles, not offers. Whimsy over serious. Storytelling over features. Created funnel-stage creative: brand storytelling at TOF, education at MOF, offers at BOF. The Goldilocks campaign proved the concept: you can move fast and still move smart.

The Approach

I lead Casper's paid media creative direction, working alongside their design team, marketing coordinators, and our media buyers. I use AI to accelerate production without sacrificing strategic thinking: writing briefs, generating concepts, and building workflows that encode my methodology. The broader output is collaborative. The lens is mine.
