Are you still treating organic and paid content as separate? It’s time to reconsider! Reza Khadjavi, CEO of Motion, joins us today to break down the key creative trends for 2026. We talk about the importance of "psychological kill shots" (or killer hooks) and how to use them to craft content that not only stops the scroll but drives conversions.

Reza explains how understanding your audience’s organic consumption patterns can guide your paid creative approach for maximum impact. We also discuss the massive shift in creative strategy that’s reshaping how we create ads. From the "effort signal" to the visual diversity needed to avoid creative fatigue, we explore practical tips for maximizing engagement.

Plus, Reza shares valuable data from Motion’s recent creative trends event and how creative testing can be more than just tweaking a few visual elements. Join us for a fresh perspective on how to leverage AI tools and creative iteration to push your campaigns to the next level.
