Talking-Head Direct-Response Ads for a Performance Marketing Agency
0. PROJECT OVERVIEW
I edited a set of direct-response video ads for Growth Edge, a performance
marketing agency that scales e-commerce brands on paid channels. The brief was
a talking-head, VSL-style creative designed to convert cold traffic on Meta,
matching the polished editing style the agency already uses on its own website
while pushing the pacing and visual clarity even further.

1. DELIVERABLES & SCOPE
The project covered two main ad bodies plus 15 hook variations cut onto them for
systematic A/B testing across Meta campaigns. Each version was finished with
custom motion graphics, kinetic typography, and animations layered directly
over the presenter's footage, supported by relevant b-roll and full sound
design. All final ads were rendered and delivered in 4K, ready to launch.

2. PROCESS
I worked closely with the client from start to finish, aligning early on scope
and style, sending a test edit first for approval, and iterating through
multiple rounds of revisions on both the body and the hooks. I integrated the
assets and b-roll provided by the team, matched the look of their existing VSL,
and reworked hooks to run the animation over live footage of the speaker
instead of static backgrounds, keeping every variation consistent while still
giving the campaign enough creative diversity to test at scale.
3. SKILLS & TOOLS
Video editing, motion graphics, animation, kinetic typography, sound design,
b-roll integration, and 4K rendering for paid-social ad creative.
