The Short Version: Creative director and fractional CMO for 7-9 figure eCom brands with 4+ years of eCom and media buying experience. Direct response is my world. I leverage consumer psychology and awareness to create ads that don’t just sell—they scale. Over $5M in ad spend, 20+ clients served. The Long Version: Let me guess—you’re throwing ads at the wall, hoping something sticks. Or maybe you’re stuck, scaling up only to see your CPA skyrocket. I’ve seen ad accounts spending $30K+/day, and trust me, what they’re doing might surprise you. The truth? Intent + volume = scale. High CPMs? It’s not your account, it’s your ads. Inconsistent results? A winning creative will keep you hitting your KPIs, even on off days. So how do I fit in? If you’re constantly making losing ads, you’re probably making the same mistake over and over. You need to track, analyze, and dive deep into what’s working and what’s not. Get back to the basics—market desire, persona, awareness stage. Testing and iterating gets you closer to a winner. It’s a process of cutting out the bad to find the good. Here’s the truth: The market is flooded with lookalike brands. Your customers can smell an unoriginal pitch from a mile away. I don’t just create ads—I build strategic frameworks that tap into pain points your competitors are missing. What you won’t hear from most "creative experts": 80% of your competitors are using the same 3-4 hooks they copied from each other. Most brands waste budgets because they don’t match the creative tone with customer awareness. A differentiated strategy is worth 10x more than any small targeting tweak. Scaling isn’t about finding a lucky winner—it’s about creating a repeatable system. When I work with clients, we build a creative matrix that maps customer journey touchpoints, crafts a unique brand voice, and creates modular assets that can be optimized. The result? Ads that don’t just perform—they compound over time. If you’re serious about hitting $100K+ days, you need more than just a freelancer pushing out pretty pictures. You need someone who understands consumer psychology and knows how to turn it into scalable, high-converting creative. Don’t believe me? Check out my reviews. Let’s chat. Aymen

My last client scaled from 1.2x to 4.5x ROAS and cut CPA by 35% in under 30 days. I'm a DTC Creative Strategist specialising in AI-powered ad creatives for Meta and TikTok. I think like a strategist and execute like a production team: research, hooks, scripts, and finished ads in one place. Native German & English. Blackmagic Certified. Portfolio below. Here's how I work: → Research: I mine your audience's exact language from Reddit, reviews, and competitor ads. Hooks come from what real customers say, not what sounds good in a brief. → Creative Strategy: Every ad starts with a hypothesis. Who is this for, what do they believe, and what's the one thing that makes them stop in 1.5 seconds. No guesswork. → AI-First Production: Full pipeline using Kling, VEO, Higgsfield, NanoBanana, and ElevenLabs integrated into DaVinci Resolve. Real footage plus AI assets. Short-form 15 to 60 seconds, VSLs, all formats and exports included. → Hook Testing: Multiple hook variants per creative, built for rapid iteration. I read the data and rebuild what isn't working. → European Market Edge: Native German and English means I cover DACH and global markets. Lower CPMs, fresh audiences, most competitors aren't there. Why clients choose me: I prioritise cost per purchase over aesthetics. Fast turnaround, agency-level communication, no hand-holding needed. If you're running DTC ads and your creative isn't converting, message me with your brand name and monthly ad spend. I'll tell you in one reply what I'd change first. 🔧 DTC Creative Strategy | AI-Powered Video Production | Direct Response Advertising | Meta & TikTok Ads | UGC Ad Creatives | Hook & Script Development | Ad Creative Testing | DaVinci Resolve | DACH Market | Bilingual DE/EN

You're spending $30K-$500K/mo on paid social and you still can't answer one question: why did that ad work? Your creative team ships concepts but can't diagnose results. Your media buyer blames creative. Creative blames the landing page. You cycle through freelancers who guess and agencies who present decks instead of answers. I built a system that replaces all of that. Every ad concept traces back to real customer language pulled from reviews, Reddit, Amazon, TikTok comments, forums, and competitor ads. AI handles the volume. I handle the decisions: which angle to bet on, which avatar to target, which hook to pair with which format, and why. What you get: Research-backed creative concepts with a written hypothesis for every single one. A testing roadmap where wins tell you what to scale and losses tell you what to test next. A system that compounds. Every cycle gets smarter. Every dollar gets more accountable. Brands I've done creative strategy for: TAO Clean, Wuffes, Nutrivo Health, Bekynd Beauty, GroundingWell, Satori Shears, 8 Sheep Organics. Here's how it works: You send me your brand URL, top-selling products, and current ad account access. I run a full diagnostic: KPIs, creative gaps, competitor landscape, audience language. You get a research-backed creative roadmap with testable concepts in the first 2 weeks. Every cycle after that builds on real data. Not opinions. Not vibes. I take on 2 new brands per month. If there's a fit, I'll show you what I see in your account before you spend a dollar. Send me your brand URL. No pitch. Just a diagnostic.
