The Video Bottleneck in This Agency Type
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Client type | E-commerce brands, DTC companies, lead gen businesses — clients judged by ROAS/CAC |
| Monthly deliverable | Ad creative — 15–30 new ad variants/month per client to beat creative fatigue |
| Billing rate | $150–$250/hr or percentage of ad spend (8–15%) |
| The problem | Creative fatigue kills ROAS — winning ad creative has a 3–6 week lifespan |
Agencies need 10–20 video variants/client/month.
Traditional production can't sustain this volume.
The AI Video Workflow That Solves It
Media buyer identifies winning hook → AI generates 5 variations with different visuals and copy → A/B test immediately → iterate on winner in 24 hours. Creative velocity = competitive moat.
How to Price and Pitch the Video Service
Present as creative velocity infrastructure — 'we test 12 video creative variants per week vs your current 2 per month'. Justify with improved ROAS from faster iteration.
