Description

Meta’s new creative ranking systems are changing everything, and most brands have no idea how much it’s affecting their performance. In this episode, we break down exactly how Meta’s Black Box evaluates your ads, why your creatives are being grouped together, and why small variations (like hook swaps) no longer matter the way you think they do.


Our Guest today is Reza Khadjavi, CEO at Motion, the creative reporting platform trusted by top DTC brands.


What you’ll learn:

  • Why Meta sees one ad even when you upload ten

  • How Andromeda assigns “priors” to your creative

  • Why hook testing isn’t moving the needle anymore

  • How AI labeling is changing creative analysis

  • What creative diversity actually means to Meta

  • The end of growth hacking (and what comes next)

  • How to build a creative strategy that still works in a black box world

If your ads feel stuck, inconsistent, or unpredictable… This episode will explain why.
