Testing 2 creatives a week is why you have no winners — you need 8+

Testing 2 creatives a week is why you have no winners — you need 8+

Creative is now the primary lever (targeting is mostly automated). Win rate per creative is low, so volume is the strategy.

Creative hit rate (1,100 creatives across 40 accounts):
— Creatives that beat account-avg CPA: 12%
— Implied: ~8 tests to find 1 reliable winner
— Accounts testing <4/mo: flat or rising CPA
— Accounts testing 12+/mo: −18% CPA over 90d

Fix: industrialize creative. Ship 8–12 distinct concepts monthly — not 12 variations of one. Test at the concept level (hook, format, angle), kill on CPA after 1,000+ impressions, double down on the 12% that work.
