TikTok ad creative serviceNative video that earns its first second.
TikTok ads for product brands that look like they belong in the feed: hook-first, cut to the sound, with a presenter or a product in motion, and the AI label handled. A new set every week, re-cut around what holds attention.
What we make for TikTok
- In-feed video, 9:16
- Full screen and vertical, built for sound on, with a hook in the first second and captions for the people who scroll muted
- UGC-style talk-to-camera
- An AI-generated presenter, labeled as the platform asks, showing your real product from your photos
- Product in motion
- Hands, unboxing, texture and use, when the product is the story and a face would get in the way
- Hook variants
- The same body with three or four openings, so the test is the hook and nothing else
- Post-shaped cuts
- Versions that read as a post rather than an ad, for running from your own account
- Re-cuts of Meta winners
- A winning Meta ad re-paced and re-captioned for TikTok, as an add-on on any plan
Every drop
What a weekly TikTok drop contains
Vertical video that opens fast, reads muted and still works with the sound up, with everything you need to post it.
A hook in the first second
Every ad opens on the thing that stops a thumb: a question, a claim, a problem shown mid-happening. The product arrives after the reason to care, not before it.
Cut to the sound
Edits land on the beat of the voice or the track, because TikTok is a sound-on place. Captions are there for the people who still scroll muted.
A presenter who is disclosed
UGC-style ads use an AI-generated presenter. We say so, the ad carries the label TikTok asks for, and the presenter never claims to be your customer.
Your real product
Every frame that shows the product is checked against the photos you send: the label, the color, the size in the hand. Nothing invented about what you sell.
Captions and on-screen text
The spoken line, the on-screen text and the caption below the video are written together, so the ad still makes its point with the sound off.
Hooks swapped weekly
When a body works and the opening does not, the next drop keeps the body and tries new openings. When the opening works, it goes onto new bodies.
Straight answers
How we make TikTok ads work
- Hooks
What makes a TikTok ad hook work?
Specificity, speed and a reason to stay. The openings that hold attention name a moment the viewer recognizes (the drawer where chargers go to die), make a claim that invites doubt, or show the problem already happening. They do it inside the first second, in the words on screen as much as in the voice, and they promise something the rest of the video pays off.
Our teardown of TikTok ad hooks takes forty opening lines and eight concepts apart to show which principle each one leans on. The guide to hook rate explains how to read the first number TikTok and Meta give you about an opening, and what the published benchmarks do and do not tell you.
- Native
Why do TikTok ads need to look native?
Because the feed is one continuous scroll of people talking to a camera, and anything that looks like a commercial is recognized and skipped before it has said a word. Native does not mean low effort. It means the grammar of the platform: a vertical frame, a face or hands close to the lens, text that appears as it is said, cuts on the beat, and an ending that arrives before the viewer looks for it.
We make polished, product-first video too, when the product is the story, and it still follows those rules. What we never make is a landscape commercial cropped to vertical with a logo in the corner.
- AI
Are the presenters real creators?
No, and we would rather you heard it from us. The people in our UGC-style ads are AI-generated presenters, directed from a script a person wrote, showing your real product checked against your own photos. TikTok allows AI-generated content in ads when it is labeled, so every such ad is delivered with the label switched on in Ads Manager or a clear disclaimer of its own, and a presenter never claims to have bought or used the product. If a script quotes a review, it quotes a real one you hold and shows it as a customer's words read aloud.
When you want a human creator's own experience on camera, a creator marketplace is the right buy, and our page on the UGC ads service says when. The rest of the policy is on how we use AI.
- Winners
How are winning TikTok ads re-cut?
Share each ad's spend, 2-second and 6-second views and cost per result from TikTok Ads Manager, and we read them next to how long each ad has run. An opening that holds over a body that does not gets a new body; a body that converts behind a weak opening gets three new openings; a winner that is tiring gets a fresh presenter, a new setting or a different first line while the structure stays.
On Growth those variants are part of every drop. On Starter the monthly winners review decides which ad earns them. A winning Meta ad can be re-cut for TikTok's pace as an add-on on any plan.
- Start
How does a TikTok drop start?
With a 10-minute brief and the Sprint: 8 ads in 7 days across Meta and TikTok, each testing one idea, so you can judge the work on your own product before a plan. Tell us where the ads will run and whether anything touches an election, politics or a social issue, because those facts decide which labels apply. The four steps are on how it works.
After the Sprint, Starter brings 12 new ads a month and Growth 30, both month to month, with prices published in GBP, USD and EUR on the ad creative pricing page. Every file is named by week, hook and size, yours to run on any channel for as long as you like, and remade free if TikTok rejects it and you tell us within seven days.
