Whatโ€™s scarier than CPMs rising this Q4? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Running the same creative over and over. For one of our bra brand partners, we did the opposite โ€” casting the first male creator in their account history. Not to shock, but to learn.

We tapped into our expert creator network and had a male plastic surgeon speak to his first-hand experience with patients post-surgery. The outcome? 98% new customers reached. Proof that under Metaโ€™s Andromeda update, creative diversity isnโ€™t just smart โ€” itโ€™s essential. When you lead with curiosity, performance follows.

๐Ÿ’ก Hot Take: This shake up doesnโ€™t make us nervous, it creates an opportunity for brands to compete in a new way and shake up the top performers. The future of performance belongs to brands who test often, think creatively, and contextualize for their audiences. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Iโ€™m Caroline Levere, Co-Founder & CEO of Grapevine & UGC Whitelisting Queen. I run a paid social ad creative agency helping brands reduce CPAs through creator and publisher whitelisting. Need help scaling your creative mix? Letโ€™s chat.

Q4 is around the corner and weโ€™re deep in planning with our partners, leveraging our learnings from all year to help them scale effectively during crunch time. Why trust us? My team works with leading consumer brands (think: Nobl Travel, Honeylove, and Arrae) and saw over $10 million in spend against our ads in the last 30 days. We took a look at the top ten performance UGC ad formats of this year to date across our portfolio and know every brand needs a few of these in their account. So after our monthly team all hands, we decided it was time to share some of our secrets.

Whitelisting editorial content on paid social can help you acquire higher LTV customers. It might sound counterintuitive to standard DR paid social campaigns, but education-first funnels can crush. More valuable customers for less acquisition costโ€ฆhereโ€™s why ๐Ÿ‘‡
