5 refreshed variants without a new shoot

A fatiguing winner rebuilt into 5 distinct Meta ads — new hooks, new intros, same footage — keeping ROAS above target.

What this is

A refreshed Meta ad set rebuilt from a fatiguing winner — same footage, new entry points.

What I changed

Rebuilt 5 distinct variants off the same raw footage, added editorial typography and offer callouts, and shipped 9:16/4:5/1:1 placement-native exports inside a week.

Result

ROAS held at 3.4x with a 1.8% CTR after replacing the fatiguing winner in the same campaign.

What I'd test next

A problem-led hook against the bold-claim open to broaden the angles before the next refresh.

Context

What the client needed

The account's best ad was fatiguing. Booking a new shoot would take weeks. The brand needed fresh creative in the ad account inside a week, off existing footage.
