81% accuracy before launch.

The study puts numbers on it 📊
A 4x improvement in conversion rate.
2x the conversions with no extra spend, by reallocating budget.
That changes the workflow. A new evaluation step now sits between production and launch, where creative gets scored before budget goes behind it.
Three things you can start on now:
Centralize your creative performance data.
Connect your creative teams to CPA, alongside CTR.
Rewrite the brief with a conversion threshold the work has to clear.
