Armando Macedo  ·  Paid social creative strategist

I build and scale paid social creative for DTC brands.

Research agents and loops handle the discovery around the clock. I use it to concept across every segment, keep every idea backed by a live source, and produce the statics, video and animation ads myself.

What I make
Static ads · video & UGC scripts · animation ads in any style, Pixar, Vox, claymation and more.
Underneath every batch
Research agents run the discovery around the clock, so every concept starts from live data.

How I work.

Five stages, start to finish, with the research agents feeding every one.

Agents + loops, always on
Competitor ad monitoring · buyer-language mining · funnel teardowns · a growing swipe bank, every finding linked to its source.

Ideation

Concepts from live sources, never a vacuum, and the gaps no one is covering.

Copy

Hook first. Written from proven patterns, not a blank page.

Editing

Pushed until it's right. Every fix becomes a rule for next time.

Creative

Native, not "an ad". Static, video and animation, built to run.

Selected work.

A deliberately small set, chosen to show range of style and thinking across categories, not volume. Four brands, four different registers, one method underneath all of them.

Hone

Premium men's natural deodorant balm. I develop the creative alongside the founder from the ground up. One product, run through the full circuit: a run of native statics, each in a different disguise, plus long-form video.

StaticsVSLUGC scriptingFunnel strategyMen's grooming

Long-form VSL built on the "hidden villain" reframe, fully scripted, edited and captioned. Also part of the Hone system: a batch of raw first-person UGC scripts built for organic-native delivery.

Little Believers

A kids' Bible-study workbook. The clearest look at the full method in one place: I mapped the category (every rival sells fear from low-trust brands), found the white space (joy, wonder, showing the real pages), and built the creative to own it, a Pixar-style animation plus native UGC.

Research & positioningAnimationUGC staticsAd copy

The centerpiece: a Pixar-style animation built to own the one lane nobody in the category runs, wonder instead of dread. Concept, script and art direction all mine.

Harvestory

Children's first-food nutrition. A full creative package built from the research up: the angles, the concepts, and finished statics plus a video concept across the funnel.

Safest Dog Chews

Longest-lasting chews, sized to the dog. A different register again: a fully art-directed animation ad alongside raw UGC-style statics, range from produced motion to social-native in one package.

Fully art-directed animation ad, with voiceover and captions. Concept, script and motion direction mine.

Where I trained.

Over five figures invested in mastering this craft, learning from the people who set the standard in each. These are the courses the whole process is built on.
