How many video ad variations should we test a month?
It depends on spend and channel mix, but a team actively scaling paid media should have new creative entering testing every week, not once a quarter. Admiral Media's AI Creative Factory batches run 20, 40 or 80 video ads, and each concept ships in several hooks, lengths and aspect ratios, which is how a handful of concepts becomes 100+ variations a month.
Does AI creative outperform manually produced ads?
Its advantage is speed and volume, which is where most testing programmes are constrained. Star Chef 2 needed 60+ creative variations a week across gameplay concepts and channels; running that through the AI Creative Factory delivered +45% ROAS, +55% CTR and 18% lower CAC. The real comparison is whether your testing programme can run at the pace the algorithm needs.
How fast can a batch turn around?
Generation takes hours, not weeks. Turnaround on a full batch, from brief to checked, ready-to-launch ads, depends on batch size and how much brand setup is needed up front.
What is included in a batch?
Concepts, AI production, post-production and human QA, plus a dedicated creative strategist. Starter is €10,000 for 20 video ads, Growth is €16,000 for 40 and Pro is €29,000 for 80. Media budget and campaign management are separate.
Does this work for mobile games as well as apps?
Yes. Star Chef 2 is a mobile game and Fastic is a subscription app. The same generate, test, lock-the-brand and compound loop runs for both; what changes is the hooks, formats and success metric: cohort ROAS and CPI for games, cost per trial and trial-to-paid for apps.
Is it fully automated, or does a person check the output?
AI produces the volume. A strategist sets the concepts and a human QA pass checks brand, art style and claims before anything ships. The brand-rule layer that stops drift at volume is set and checked by people.
How is creative fatigue detected?
By reading every live variant against campaign data continuously instead of in a monthly review, so a fatiguing ad's replacement is already in production before cost per result visibly climbs.
How do we start?
Book a meeting and share your current spend, channels and testing cadence. We scope a batch size against your actual media budget, then agree the brief, brand rules and success metric.
