Ad Creative

Generate high-performing ad creative at scale — headlines, descriptions, and primary text — and iterate on real performance data.

Before Starting

Product context: If .agents/product-marketing-context.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing-context.md in older setups), read it first and tailor output to it; only ask for what it doesn't cover.

Gather this context (ask if not provided):

1. Platform & Format

  • Platform? (Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitter/X)
  • Ad format? (Search RSAs, display, social feed, stories, video)
  • Existing ads to iterate on, or starting from scratch?

2. Product & Offer

  • What are you promoting? (Product, feature, free trial, demo, lead magnet)
  • Core value proposition?
  • Differentiation from competitors?

3. Audience & Intent

  • Target audience?
  • Stage of awareness? (Problem-aware, solution-aware, product-aware)
  • Driving pain points or desires?

4. Performance Data (if iterating)

  • What creative is currently running?
  • Best-performing headlines/descriptions? (CTR, conversion rate, ROAS)
  • Underperformers?
  • Angles or themes already tested?

5. Constraints

  • Brand voice guidelines or words to avoid?
  • Compliance requirements? (Industry regulations, platform policies)
  • Mandatory elements? (Brand name, trademark symbols, disclaimers)

How This Skill Works

Two modes:

  • Mode 1: Generate from Scratch — full set of ad creative from product context, audience insights, and platform best practices.
  • Mode 2: Iterate from Performance Data — given data (CSV, paste, or API output), analyze what's working, find patterns in top performers, and generate variations that build on winning themes while exploring new angles.

Core loop:

Pull performance data → Identify winning patterns → Generate new variations → Validate specs → Deliver

Platform Specs

Platforms reject or truncate creative over these limits — verify every piece of copy fits before delivering.

Google Ads (Responsive Search Ads)

RSA rules: headlines must make sense independently and in any combination; pin headlines to positions only when necessary (reduces optimization); include at least one keyword-focused, one benefit-focused, and one CTA headline.

Generating Ad Visuals

For image and video creative, use generative AI tools and code-based video rendering. See references/generative-tools.md for the complete guide:

  • Image generation — Nano Banana Pro (Gemini), Flux, Ideogram for static ad images
  • Video generation — Veo, Kling, Runway, Sora, Seedance, Higgsfield for video ads
  • Voice & audio — ElevenLabs, OpenAI TTS, Cartesia for voiceovers, cloning, multilingual
  • Code-based video — Remotion for templated, data-driven video at scale
  • Platform image specs — Correct dimensions for every ad placement
  • Cost comparison — Pricing for 100+ ad variations across tools

Scaled production workflow: (1) generate hero creative with AI tools (exploratory, high-quality); (2) build Remotion templates from winning patterns; (3) batch produce variations with Remotion using data feeds; (4) iterate — AI for new angles, Remotion for scale.


Generating Ad Copy

Step 1: Define Your Angles

Before writing headlines, establish 3-5 distinct angles — different reasons someone would click, each tapping a different motivation.

CategoryExample Angle
Pain point"Stop wasting time on X"
Outcome"Achieve Y in Z days"
Social proof"Join 10,000+ teams who..."
Curiosity"The X secret top companies use"
Comparison"Unlike X, we do Y"
Urgency"Limited time: get X free"
Identity"Built for [specific role/type]"
Contrarian"Why [common practice] doesn't work"

Step 2: Generate Variations per Angle

Vary: word choice (synonyms, active vs. passive), specificity (numbers vs. general claims), tone (direct vs. question vs. command), structure (short punch vs. full benefit statement).

Step 3: Validate Against Specs

Check every piece against the platform's character limits; flag anything over and provide a trimmed alternative.

Step 4: Organize for Upload

Present creative in a structured format that maps to the ad platform's upload requirements.


Iterating from Performance Data

Step 1: Analyze Winners

From the top performers (by CTR, conversion rate, or ROAS — ask which metric matters most), identify:

  • Winning themes — topics or pain points in top performers
  • Winning structures — questions? statements? commands? numbers?
  • Winning word patterns — recurring words or phrases
  • Character utilization — are top performers shorter or longer?

Step 2: Analyze Losers

From the worst performers, identify themes that fall flat (angles not resonating) and common patterns (too generic? too long? wrong tone?).

Step 3: Generate New Variations

New creative should: double down on winning themes with fresh phrasing, extend winning angles into new variations, test 1-2 unexplored angles, and avoid patterns found in underperformers.

Step 4: Document the Iteration

## Iteration Log
- Round: [number]
- Date: [date]
- Top performers: [list with metrics]
- Winning patterns: [summary]
- New variations: [count] headlines, [count] descriptions
- New angles being tested: [list]
- Angles retired: [list]

Writing Quality Standards

Headlines That Click

Strong headlines: specific ("Cut reporting time 75%") over vague ("Save time"); benefits ("Ship code faster") over features ("CI/CD pipeline"); active voice ("Automate your reports") over passive ("Reports are automated"); numbers when possible ("3x faster," "in 5 minutes," "10,000+ teams").

Avoid: jargon the audience won't recognize; claims without specificity ("Best," "Leading," "Top"); all caps or excessive punctuation; clickbait the landing page can't deliver on.

Descriptions That Convert

Descriptions complement headlines, not repeat them. Use them to: add proof points (numbers, testimonials, awards); handle objections ("No credit card required," "Free forever for small teams"); reinforce CTAs ("Start your free trial today"); add urgency when genuine ("Limited to first 500 signups").


Output Formats

Standard Output

Organize by angle, with character counts:

## Angle: [Pain Point — Manual Reporting]

### Headlines (30 char max)
1. "Stop Building Reports by Hand" (29)
2. "Automate Your Weekly Reports" (28)
3. "Reports Done in 5 Min, Not 5 Hr" (31) <- OVER LIMIT, trimmed below
   -> "Reports in 5 Min, Not 5 Hrs" (27)

### Descriptions (90 char max)
1. "Marketing teams save 10+ hours/week with automated reporting. Start free." (73)
2. "Connect your data sources once. Get automated reports forever. No code required." (80)

Bulk CSV Output

For 10+ variations, offer CSV for direct upload:

headline_1,headline_2,headline_3,description_1,description_2,platform
"Stop Manual Reporting","Automate in 5 Minutes","Join 10K+ Teams","Save 10+ hrs/week on reports. Start free.","Connect data sources once. Reports forever.","google_ads"

Iteration Report

## Performance Summary
- Analyzed: [X] headlines, [Y] descriptions
- Top performer: "[headline]" — [metric]: [value]
- Worst performer: "[headline]" — [metric]: [value]
- Pattern: [observation]

## New Creative
[organized variations]

## Recommendations
- [What to pause, what to scale, what to test next]

Batch Generation Workflow

For large-scale production (Anthropic's growth team generates 100+ variations per cycle):

1. Break into sub-tasks

  • Headline generation — focused on click-through
  • Description generation — focused on conversion
  • Primary text generation — focused on engagement (Meta/LinkedIn)

2. Generate in waves

  • Wave 1: Core angles (3-5 angles, 5 variations each)
  • Wave 2: Extended variations on top 2 angles
  • Wave 3: Wild card angles (contrarian, emotional, specific)

3. Quality filter

  • Remove anything over character limit
  • Remove duplicates or near-duplicates
  • Flag potential platform policy violations
  • Ensure headline/description combinations make sense together

Common Mistakes

  • Writing headlines that only work together — RSA headlines get combined randomly
  • Ignoring character limits — platforms truncate without warning
  • All variations sound the same — vary angles, not just word choice
  • No CTA headlines — RSAs need action-oriented headlines to drive clicks; include at least 2-3
  • Generic descriptions — "Learn more about our solution" wastes the slot
  • Iterating without data — gut feelings are less reliable than metrics
  • Testing too many things at once — change one variable per test cycle
  • Retiring creative too early — allow 1,000+ impressions before judging
