Our guest for today’s episode is Grace Ouma-Cabezas. Grace is a growth consultant at Go & Co, her own firm. Grace has previously headed growth at Poppy Seed Health, an app that supports individuals during pregnancy and post-partum. 

In this episode, Grace shares how using raw, vulnerable creatives that spoke directly to the pains, hopes and fears of their users: pregnant women, resulted in dramatic performance gains. She talks about the insights that led to this creative strategy, the actual production process of these ads – and how her team decided to keep the user experience as real and genuine as possible, even when these resulted in ads that were not sexy or happy, and even when these resulted in occasional ad disapprovals by platforms.  

In a world of clickbait-y, sales-focused creative strategy, Grace brings a unique perspective on the importance of authenticity, vulnerability and genuineness – and I highly recommend this interview for anyone looking to broaden their creative perspectives.
