AI can generate the video 🎬. Human creative thinking turns it into the right creative one that stops the scroll, holds attention, and drives action. I’m an AI Video Creator specializing in AI UGC, short-form content, and image-to-video production built to drive real ROI for brands on TikTok and Meta. You have a great product. You have the offer. You may even have the footage. What you need is creative that makes people stop, pay attention, trust what they’re seeing, and take action. Your audience decides whether to keep watching within seconds. If the hook doesn’t land, the rest of the video doesn’t matter. Need an AI UGC ad? A product demo? TikTok or Meta creative? Short-form content? A talking-head video? Image-to-video? Whatever the format, the goal stays the same: create something people want to watch and brands can use to sell. Think beyond the AI generation. From the first hook to the final CTA, every decision matters. The right script, believable visuals, natural voice, captions, sound design, and platform-native editing can turn an ordinary idea into a creative people actually want to watch. The pacing has to hold attention, and the CTA has to give people a reason to act. Every creative is built to give you: ✔ AI UGC, product & talking-head videos ✔ Scroll-stopping hooks & creative concepts ✔ Professional video editing & post-production ✔ Captions, motion graphics & sound design ✔ TikTok, Meta, Reels & Shorts-ready edits ✔ Multiple creative variations for testing ✔ Polished, ready-to-publish videos AI + Creative Stack: 🎬AI Video: Veo 3, Seedance 2.5, Kling, Higgsfield, Sora, Runway 🎙️ Avatars & Voice: HeyGen, ElevenLabs 🎬 Editing: Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut ➕ Your preferred AI tools: If you have another platform or workflow in mind, I can work with it. You don't have to change your workflow just to work with me. Whether you're an eCommerce brand, SaaS company, app, coach, agency, real estate business, or growing brand, the goal is the same: create video that stops the scroll, holds attention, builds trust, and drives action. If your next creative needs to do more than look good, 📩 send me the brief. Let’s create something that earns the view, keeps the attention, and gives people a reason to take action.

Licensed freight forwarder + DTC founder. Operator, not consultant Most freight people don't understand what happens after the container clears customs. Most ecommerce consultants have never read a bill of lading. I'm one of the few people who does both, every day, in my own businesses. **By the numbers** • 5+ years running North Star Global, our family's NVOCC-licensed freight forwarder with a Chicago warehouse and proprietary shipment tracking platform • 4 years building Crystal Clean, a premium DTC cat litter brand on Shopify + Amazon — personally configured the full stack (Shopify, Recharge, Klaviyo with 11 live flows, Okendo, Smile io, Meta Ads) • Full landed-cost models built from scratch (HTS classification, 2026 tariff stack including Section 232/301 and IEEPA, 40HQ container economics) • 24-month cohort retention models with LTV, CAC payback, and ad spend scenarios **What I help with** • Amazon FBA — listings, review velocity, Subscribe & Save, account health, shipment planning • Shopify DTC — theme customization, Klaviyo flows, Recharge subscriptions, referral programs, post-purchase optimization • Meta paid acquisition — creative strategy, account structure (Andromeda), budget pacing • Supply chain design — sourcing, freight forwarding, customs, 3PL, landed-cost reduction • Ecommerce financial modeling — unit economics, cohort retention, P&L, forecasting **How I work** Project-based or fractional. I'll tell you up front if I'm not the right fit, I don't take engagements where I can't move the needle. When I'm in, I move fast, document as I go, and communicate issues with a fix already proposed. Send me a message with what you're working on. I respond within a few hours. Thanks, Greg
