Most brands don’t have a creative problem—they have a process problem. In this episode, Andrew and AJF Growth COO Patrick Kadu break down how to operationalize creative so it consistently drives profit. We cover why the message is the asset, how to build a database of messages per brand, and how to bolt on a “hook library” that accelerates iteration without bloating your stack.

We also dig into Sora 2 (AI video) as a practical tool for 3–5 second hooks—where it works, where it fails, and how to deploy it without derailing your team. You’ll hear how we separate Explore vs. Expand in paid social, resist tool proliferation, and turn ideas into a repeatable process clients can trust. If you care about speed, clarity, and profitable growth (not just flashy toolS) then this is your operator’s guide.

What you’ll learn:

- A message-first framework that scales creative and protects margins

- How to stand up a “hook library” and plug it into weekly cadences

- When AI video (Sora 2) is ROI-positive for paid hooks—and when it isn’t

- The agency principle: performance + trust beats everything
