Creative Learnings

Document and systematize learnings from creative tests.

Process

Step 1: Analyze Recent Test Results

Gather Test Data:

  • All creatives tested in period
  • Performance metrics (CPA, CTR, CVR)
  • Spend and volume
  • Test duration

Categorize Results:

  • Clear winners (scale)
  • Promising (iterate)
  • Clear losers (kill)
  • Inconclusive (retest)

Step 2: Extract Patterns

What Worked - Analyze:

  • Common elements in winners
  • Hook types performing
  • Body structures winning
  • CTA formats converting
  • Visual styles succeeding
  • Avatar responses

What Didn't Work - Analyze:

  • Common failure points
  • Hook types failing
  • Angles not resonating
  • Visual styles flopping
  • Audiences not responding

Step 3: Update Performance Database

Angle Tracker:

Angle Tests Wins Win Rate Best CPA Notes
[Angle 1] X X X% $X [Learning]

Hook Type Tracker:

Hook Type Tests Wins Win Rate Notes
Greed X X X% [Learning]
Emotion X X X% [Learning]

Framework Tracker:

Framework Tests Wins Win Rate Notes

Step 4: Identify New Hypotheses

From Winners:

  • What can we double down on?
  • What variations should we test?
  • What audiences should we expand to?

From Losers:

  • What should we stop doing?
  • What assumptions were wrong?
  • What variables need isolation?

From Market:

  • What competitors are doing?
  • What trends are emerging?
  • What gaps exist?

Step 5: Output Learnings Document
