How I keep AI merch mockups brand-accurate:
Generate blank products first — never let AI draw the logo
Apply the real logo as a separate step
Check every output against the source file
Keep the failures on the canvas with notes on why they failed
The rejected column is my favorite part. It's where the quality comes from.

One ad, three first seconds.
Same 20-second body. Three different openings:
1. A five-star review
2. A price comparison
3. A direct call-out: "Dull skin by 3pm?"
Most ads don't fail in the middle. They fail before the product even shows up. Testing the opening is the cheapest test you can run.
Which one would you put money behind first?
