Six months of paid and organic social for a six-site studio group. Generative production carried the test volume, monthly shoot days carried the human core, and performance decided which angles got the paid budget behind them.
Generative video has cut production cost by roughly 40% per minute, which means everyone can now make more. The scarce thing is no longer output. It is knowing which output is worth putting money behind.
The concept window has compressed. AI-generated creative is flooding every major auction, UGC-style formats have become saturated enough to have lost the authenticity signal that made them work, and platform algorithms surface a winning format to your competitors faster than they ever did. A creative angle that used to last a quarter now lasts weeks.
The response is not more of the same asset. It is a wider spread of different angles, produced cheaply enough that most of them can fail, and read quickly enough that the survivors get budget while they still work.
And the scoreboard changed with it. Brands now expect conversion metrics, revenue and direct attribution rather than reach and follower counts. We report cost per click, cost per acquisition, return on ad spend and revenue per creator, and we treat follower growth as a byproduct.
Paid and organic sit in one team, because organic is where an angle is proven cheaply and paid is where a proven angle gets scaled.

For a share of it, yes, and openly. Generative tools have cut video production cost by around 40% per minute, which is what makes a wide test spread affordable. We apply the platform disclosures required for AI-generated imagery, and we still shoot and edit conventionally where the format needs a real person, a real product or a real place.
It can, if it is the only thing you post and it looks like everyone else’s. UGC-style formats in particular have saturated to the point of losing the authenticity signal that made them effective. We use generative production for volume and testing, and we protect a distinct, human-made core so the account still has a recognizable voice.
Both, in one team. Separating them is how the same creative insight gets learned twice and paid for twice. Organic is where an angle is proven cheaply; paid is where a proven angle gets scaled.
Meta, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts as standard. We will tell you honestly when a platform is not worth your budget rather than adding it to justify a retainer.
We run your brand through the answer engines your customers use, then send you the transcript of what they say about you. Free, and yours to keep whether or not we work together.
Performance Max, Advantage+ and Demand Gen, with a weekly testing loop feeding them and a person deciding what gets fed.
Predictive segmentation, personalized send timing and lifecycle flows built on the one audience you own outright.
Tracking you can trust, attribution you can defend, forecasting you can plan against, and share of AI answers on the same dashboard as everything else.
