Most brands don't have a content problem, they have a conversion problem. They're posting AI videos that look good but don't drive clicks, engagement, or sales. The output I deliver is the kind of work studios used to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of production on. I produce it in hours, for a fraction of the cost, and it's built to perform, not just impress. That's where I come in. I help brands turn ideas into high-performing AI video ads, UGC-style content, and short-form videos designed to convert across TikTok, Instagram Reels, Meta, and YouTube Shorts. -WHAT I CREATE โ€ข AI video ads for TikTok, Meta, and YouTube โ€ข AI UGC ads (creator-style, natural, high-converting content) โ€ข Short-form video ads (Reels, Shorts, TikTok) โ€ข AI product videos & eCommerce ad creatives โ€ข AI spokesperson & avatar videos (HeyGen-style) โ€ข SaaS explainer videos & app demo videos โ€ข AI social media content & digital marketing videos -WHY MY VIDEOS PERFORM Most AI-generated videos fail because they: โ€ข Look generic or robotic โ€ข Miss strong hooks โ€ข Ignore platform behavior โ€ข Focus on visuals instead of performance I combine AI video creation + performance marketing + storytelling to produce videos that: โœ” Capture attention in the first 1โ€“3 seconds โœ” Feel native to TikTok, Instagram, and Meta ads โœ” Communicate value quickly and clearly โœ” Drive engagement, clicks, and conversions Because brands donโ€™t scale from โ€œnice visualsโ€ โ€” they scale from creative that performs. -MY PROCESS I handle the full process from concept to final delivery: โ€ข Creative strategy & ad concept development โ€ข Scriptwriting & hook creation โ€ข AI video generation (UGC, product, cinematic) โ€ข AI voiceover & audio production โ€ข Video editing, captions, and motion design โ€ข Optimization for paid ads and social media platforms -TOOLS & AI WORKFLOW AI Video: Veo3, Sora, Runway, Kling, Pika AI Avatars: HeyGen, Synthesia Voice: ElevenLabs Image Creation: Midjourney, Leonardo AI Editing: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut --INDUSTRIES I WORK WITH โ€ข eCommerce & Shopify brands โ€ข TikTok Shop sellers โ€ข SaaS & tech startups โ€ข Coaches & digital product creators โ€ข Marketing agencies & content teams โ€ข Beauty, fashion, lifestyle, and consumer brands --WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT โœ” High-converting video ads โœ” Scroll-stopping hooks โœ” Clean, realistic AI visuals โœ” Platform-optimized content (TikTok, Meta, YouTube) โœ” Fast turnaround & clear communication โœ” Performance-focused creative strategy --WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME โ€ข AI Video Ads Creator + Strategist (not just an editor) โ€ข Strong understanding of TikTok Ads & Meta Ads โ€ข Experience with UGC, product ads & short-form content โ€ข Focus on results: CTR, engagement, and conversions โ€ข Scalable AI video production systems -LETโ€™S WORK If youโ€™re looking for AI video ads, UGC content, or short-form videos that actually drive results โ€” not just views Send me a message.

A note from a satisfied client-- โ€œI had the pleasure of working with Glenn on a motion graphics project that had to be done very quicklyโ€”and very well. I was not disappointed. Glenn proved himself to be the perfect craftsman for the job, bringing a strong skill set along with initiative and imagination. He is talented, fast, communicates clearly, and was a genuine godsend on a difficult assignment.โ€ โ€”Chris Healey, DonerCX Iโ€™m a motion graphics and digital media artist with over 15 years of experience, specializing in animation, visual storytelling, and problem-solving for real-world creative challenges. I work fluently across the Adobe Creative Cloudโ€”After Effects, Photoshop, Illustratorโ€”and expert-level Rive and Lottie animation for interactive, lightweight, real-time motion design on the web and in apps. Iโ€™ve collaborated with clients ranging from large corporations to individual creators, producing motion graphics, titles, logos, explainers, demo videos, stadium graphics, and music videos for a wide range of industries nationwide. I focus on sharp, smart, well-crafted motion design that communicates effectively and looks great doing it. As a freelancer, I manage projects end-to-endโ€”from concept, design, and storyboarding through art direction, animation, kinetic typography, and effects. Iโ€™m known for clear communication, creative thinking, and the ability to quickly learn and apply new tools and techniques (Rive included). I also bring experience working within post-production and production-house environments, where speed, collaboration, and precision matter. That background gives me a strong understanding of creative pipelines, deadlines, and how to work efficiently within client guidelines and evolving direction. Storytelling runs through everything I do. Over the past eight years, Iโ€™ve also worked as a professional storyteller, sharpening my writing, presentation, and pitching skills. Crafting customized stories for diverse audiences has strengthened my client relationships and my ability to translate ideas into compelling visual narratives. What I love most about creative work is that it never stands still. Each project brings new challenges, new styles, and new ideas to explore. Itโ€™s not about repeating the same solutionsโ€”itโ€™s about finding the right one for what comes next.
