The Importance of Creative Velocity for D2C Brands
D2C brands must maintain a high velocity of creative output to thrive in today’s advertising landscape. Research indicates that ads tend to lose effectiveness after just a few days, necessitating a continuous influx of fresh content. This fast-paced environment leads to the realization that many creative teams feel like they are simply 'throwing spaghetti at the wall' to see what resonates. Platforms that provide a structured approach to creative generation and analysis can help brands streamline this process and increase the likelihood of producing ads capable of reaching substantial spending milestones.
