The short answer

What a performance creative agency does

A performance creative agency makes ads to sell something you can count, then judges every ad by what it sold. For apps and games that means installs, trials, purchases and ROAS, not likes.

Admiral Media plans the concepts, writes the hooks, runs the creators and the edit, then puts new ads into test every week on Meta, TikTok, Snapchat and Google. Winners get budget and fresh cuts. Losers write the next brief.

The framework

Hook, body, end card: how an ad that sells is built

Every ad we make has three parts, and each part has one job. Here are three client ads taken apart, frame by frame.

Hook0 to 3 seconds

Stop the thumb

  • A face, a movement or a question in frame one
  • Readable with the sound off
  • One promise in under seven words

Body3 seconds to the end card

Prove it

  • The product on screen, working
  • One benefit per ad, not five
  • The main objection answered on screen

End cardThe last 2 to 5 seconds

Make the next step obvious

  • Logo, one line and the store badges
  • The same promise the store page makes
  • One action: Download, Play or Try

The creative matrix

One brief, sixteen ads

Angles are why someone should care. Formats are how the ad looks. We fill the grid, read the results by row and column, then cut new hooks for the winners.

  1. Fill the grid. Four angles, four formats, one brief.
  2. Read rows and columns, not single ads, so a lucky edit does not set the strategy.
  3. Move budget to the winning angle and format.
  4. Recut the winners with three new hooks each, retire the rest.

4 angles times 4 formats times 3 hooks equals 48 ads from one brief

Questions

Before you brief a creative agency

Straight answers on process, creators, rights and results.

What does a performance creative agency do?

A performance creative agency makes ads to sell something you can count and judges each ad by what it sold. For apps and games that means installs, trials, purchases and ROAS. Admiral Media plans concepts, writes hooks, runs creators and edits, and puts new ads into test every week on Meta, TikTok, Snapchat and Google.

How is performance creative different from brand creative?

Brand creative is judged on recall and look. Performance creative is judged on installs, trials, purchases and ROAS, so every ad carries a hypothesis and a number to beat. Both need craft. Performance creative also needs volume, clear naming and a testing plan, because winning ads tire and need replacing.

What is the hook, body and end card framework?

It splits every ad into three parts with one job each. The hook, the first 3 seconds, stops the scroll with a face, a movement or a question. The body proves the promise with the product on screen. The end card, the last few seconds, shows the logo, one line and the store badges, so the next step is obvious.

How many new ads should an app test each month?

It depends on spend, because more spend means ads tire faster. We plan a weekly batch of new concepts and hook variants for each main platform, sized to what your budget can read with confidence, and we set that size in the first written plan.

Do you manage UGC creators and influencers?

Yes. We source creators, brief them, handle contracts and usage rights, and run their videos as Spark Ads on TikTok or partnership ads on Meta. For campaigns where creators post to their own audience, our influencer marketing team runs those campaigns end to end.

Who owns the creator content and for how long can we use it?

Usage is agreed with each creator before filming: the platforms, the period and whether the content can run as paid ads. Ownership and handover terms for everything we make are set in your contract before work starts, so you know what you can run and for how long.

Do you use AI in creative production?

Yes, where it adds speed or volume: variants, localisation and statics through our AI Creative Factory, which helped Fastic cut cost per result by 70%. A person checks every ad before it runs.

Which platforms do you make creative for?

Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, Snapchat, Google and YouTube, plus App Store and Google Play pages. Admiral Media is an official partner of Meta, TikTok and Snapchat and a Google Premier Partner.

Do you make creative for mobile games as well as apps?

Yes. Our creative work covers mobile games such as Star Chef 2 and June’s Journey as well as subscription, dating, finance and shopping apps. Star Chef 2 saw +45% ROAS and +55% CTR from new creative concepts.
