The Strategy

When I audited the existing ad creatives, there was a trust gap. Audience feedback was notably negative toward AI-generated or heavily edited content, which had been used previously. High reach wasn't converting because the creative wasn't building confidence in the product.

I proposed a shift toward authentic, human-centered creatives that showed the product in real use.

Before moving into campaign work, I refined iyO's visual identity and created a structured design system, establishing clear guidelines for typography, color, and layout that ensured consistency across every platform and format.

This gave the paid creatives a cohesive, recognizable look regardless of whether they were running on Meta, Reddit, or X, and gave the brand a foundation to build on beyond this campaign.
