The observation
Face Theory has already done the heavy strategic lift — 29 mapped skin concerns, problem-based shopping architecture, strong bundle offers, and rich customer reviews. What's missing is the creative translation layer: ads that make each specific problem feel personally seen. Your current ads are functional — product features, promo messaging. The gap is emotional range.
Current creative
Product-focused, promo-led, functionally similar. Speaks to what the product does, not who it's for.
Proposed direction
Emotionally diverse, persona-specific, problem-precise. Speaks to how the customer feels before and after.
Micro-personas
Debbie, 47
Sensitivity + Breakouts
Cystic acne that never went away. Eczema flares. Reacts to most treatments. Stopped wearing sunscreen for years. Found Face Theory through an extensive Google search at 11pm. She didn't expect it to work.
Laura, 30
Pigmentation + Texture
Past the active breakout phase but carrying the evidence — dark spots, uneven tone, dullness. Spent years buying expensive products that never delivered. Smart, skeptical, newly converted.

Total test assets
36 static ads
Each ad is a hypothesis. The goal of week 1 is not performance — it's learning which emotional territory moves your specific customer. Volume is what makes the signal readable.
How the first weeks look
Week 1
Deploy the pilot batch
36 statics live. Goal is signal, not production value. Statics only — fast to make, fast to read.
Week 2
Read the data
Double down on angles with traction. Kill what didn't move. Bundle creative tested here — 30% off is underused in acquisition.
Week 3+
Iterate up
Higher-production formats — UGC video, 3D animations — only on proven angles. No wasted production budget.
