Most brands don’t have a targeting problem. They have a creative problem.
After managing millions in Meta ad spend, one pattern keeps showing up: the ads that scale are rarely the prettiest ones. They’re the ones that make it obvious in the first 2 seconds who it’s for and what problem it solves.
What works for me:
- Test 4–5 completely different concepts, not 5 versions of the same ad
- Lead with the problem, not the product
- Keep one proven winner running as your control
- Use AI to produce variations fast, then let the data decide
Creative is the new targeting. The brands that test more, win more.

My Watch Later list was never a library. It was a pile.
Hundreds of videos I meant to learn from and no way to ask anything about them. So I built BrainTube. You save a YouTube video, podcast, article or PDF, it gets transcribed, and then you ask about it from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor over MCP. Or in BrainTube's own chat, where a video citation opens at the exact moment it came from.
I use it every day. 1,387 saves since March, and I search it from Claude almost daily.
Launching on Product Hunt on Tue 17 Nov.
