Most AI video ads look stiff, generic, and easy to scroll past. I create AI-generated UGC video ads, Meta/Google ads for DTC and eCommerce brands, built with real creative direction, so they pass as real content and convert instead of getting skipped. Using tools like Seedance, Higgsfield, Veo. I combine AI video generation, AI UGC Video Ads, talking heads, product commercials, with the same lighting, styling, pacing, and composition principles used in real ad production, every video is built around your brand's actual identity, not a template. If a concept isn't landing, I'll tell you honestly and find a direction that will. I maintain strict character and brand consistency across every shot same face, same product, same branding so nothing drifts off-model between scenes." What you get: โœ” AI UGC-style video ads: native, realistic, built for TikTok/Meta feeds โœ” Product & campaign videos: hero shots, lifestyle scenes, launch content โœ” Multiple hook variations per brief: so you always have fresh assets to test, not one video to hope works โœ” AI campaign images: ad-ready visuals for paid social and product pages โœ” Fast turnaround: first draft within 2โ€“3 days, with 1 revision round included Tools: Kling, Higgsfield, HeyGen, Seedance, Veo 3.1, Midjourney, CapCut Pro, DaVinci Resolve Every project so far has landed 5-star feedback, I treat every brief like a real project, not a first draft.
