Creative strategies
Eight creative strategies you can build, test and measure.
Founder-native posts, story ads, new lead-ins, raw against produced: each strategy names its inputs, refuses to invent the missing ones, and produces drafts you can test.

Phantom Page, founder-led native
Runs from a real Page you are authorized to manage, with Meta’s sponsored label intact.
- What it needs
- Nothing beyond the fact sheet.
- What it makes
- One draft: an ordinary phone photo of the product in use, the founder, or a believable everyday moment.
- What it will not invent
- An invented founder or customer. The person in frame is the brand’s own, or nobody identifiable at all.
- Where it gets tested
- Any post or ad editor’s AI panel, as a single draft you review before it runs.

- What it will not invent
- An event, a result or a number the story you supplied does not contain.
- Where it gets tested
- Any post or ad editor’s AI panel, as a single draft you review before it runs.
