The process

How a batch of ads gets made

We read what your customers say, turn it into angles and scripts, make the ads, test them and tell you plainly what the numbers said. Then the next batch starts from what we learned.

The testing loop

Six steps,
on repeat

Every batch starts from what the last one taught us. Blue steps are Marouane's, orange are Yassine's, violet is the duo together. Click any step.

Step 1 of 6

Research

Reviews, comments, support emails, competitor ads

Before we write a word

Where the angles come from

An angle is the reason someone buys. Brands usually guess theirs. Marouane goes and finds them, in the places your customers already talk.
Marouane

Your reviews

Five-star and one-star. The best hooks are usually sitting in a review somebody wrote at 11pm.

Support emails

The questions people ask before they buy are the doubts your ads need to answer.

Reddit and comments

Where your customers talk about the problem without you in the room.

Competitor ads

What's been running for months is working. What ran for a week wasn't.

One page per idea

Every ad starts as
a one-page brief

Before anything is filmed or generated, each idea gets a brief you can read in two minutes: who it's for, the angle, the hooks, the proof and what the test should tell us. You approve the brief, then we make it.
  • You see the thinking before you pay for production
  • Your media buyer knows what each ad is testing
  • Winners are easy to remake, because the brief says why they won

What we're testing
Does the mechanism hook beat the testimonial hook?
Hooks
  1. 1. If you wake up at 3am every night, it's probably not stress.
  2. 2. My sleep score, two weeks apart.
  3. 3. Melatonin made me feel hungover. This didn't.

Everything from a sprint arrives in one shared folder, named so your media buyer can launch it without asking us a single question.
  • Raw files and finished files, both yours
  • Every size you run: 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 16:9
  • Hook variations as separate files, ready to test
  • A short video walking you through the batch

Where AI fits

AI for speed.
People for taste.

We use AI where it saves time and never where it decides. That's how we make more ads for the same budget without them looking like everyone else's AI ads.

First cut of a video

Yassine picks the takes, the pacing and the music

AI helps, we finish

Background plates, product scenes

Yassine fixes hands, labels, light and anything uncanny

How we stay in touch

One shared channel

Slack, WhatsApp or email, whichever you already live in. Everyone working on your ads is in it.

A weekly call

Thirty minutes. The read, the next batch, anything you want to change.

Video updates

Short screen recordings instead of long emails, so you can watch them between meetings.

What we need from you to start

  • Access to past ads and their numbers
  • Your reviews and a few support emails
  • Product samples or footage, if you have them
  • One person who can say yes or no quickly

Process questions

Something we didn't answer? Email hello@maroyas.com and you'll hear back within a day.
Do you use AI? Will the ads look like AI?
Yes, we use AI, and no, they shouldn't look like it. AI gets us a first cut fast, which means more ideas tested for the same money. Then every frame gets finished by hand. If an ad looks like AI to us, it doesn't ship.
What does a creative strategy duo do that a copywriter or editor alone can't?
A script is better when the person writing it knows how it'll be cut, and an edit is better when the person cutting it knows why each line is there. With us, the angle, the script and the finished ad come from the same duo, so the idea survives all the way to the screen.
Do you work with UGC creators, or replace them?
Both, depending on the ad. We write scripts and briefs for creators all the time. Some ads work better with a real face, some work better with AI footage, motion or statics. We'll tell you which and why.
Do you run the ads, or only make them?
We make them and help you read the results. Most brands keep their own media buyer, and we work alongside them so every test is easy to read.
How fast is the first batch?
Scripts within a few days of the intro call, and the first batch of ads within about ten days. You get exact dates on the call.
