Questions brands ask
Before you book a call.
Are AI UGC ads allowed on Meta and TikTok?
Yes. Both platforms accept AI-generated ads and may add an AI label to them. We build every ad to meet the platform's disclosure rules, and we never present an AI presenter as a real customer review.
Who owns the ads?
You do. You get full commercial usage rights and the raw files. There are no talent licences that expire after 30 or 90 days.
Do you run our ads or manage ad spend?
No. We make the creative and your team or media buyer runs it. Share what's working in your account and we build the next batch from it.
What do you need from us to start?
Your product, your offer, brand guidelines if you have them, and access to your current ads or a list of winners. A 30-minute kickoff call covers the rest.
What if we don't like an ad?
Every batch includes two revision rounds. If a concept misses, we rewrite the hook or rebuild the ad.
Can AI handle claims for supplements and skincare?
Scripts only use claims your brand has approved and can substantiate. We flag anything that may break platform health or beauty policies before production.
See your product as an ad first.
Tell us what you sell. We'll make one sample ad and send the angles we'd test first, free.
