A fine jewelry brand producing limited-edition, handcrafted gold and gemstone pieces.
🎯 Challenge
The client’s existing marketing assets consisted of:
Static product images
Older explainer-style videos
Random clips not optimized for ads
While these were useful for organic posting, they lacked the cinematic quality needed for competitive paid campaigns in the jewelry niche.
🔍 Research & Insights
I conducted a competitor analysis within the jewelry niche to understand what type of creatives were dominating paid advertising.
Key findings:
AI-generated cinematic ads are now the leading format across TikTok, Instagram, and Meta Ads.
Competitors use macro close-ups, dynamic camera angles, luxury lighting, and premium product focus.
Explainer videos and static posts are still present, but AI-driven product ads outperform them in both engagement and conversions.
These ads deliver high-end visuals at scale without requiring traditional studio shoots.
💡 Strategy
To align with market standards and create ad-ready material for the brand, I chose to:
Use AI video generation tools (Veo 3, Runway) to produce cinematic jewelry ads.
Combine AI with manual editing to refine pacing, angles, and luxury effects.
Focus on 9:16 vertical format, optimized for paid campaigns on TikTok and Instagram.
Keep the creative clean — white background, no artificial transitions, only smooth angle changes and macro product highlights.
🎬 Execution (Test Trial)
Duration: 8 seconds (optimized for paid ads)
Format: 9:16 vertical, 4K quality
Creative Flow:
