Smarter Marketing in 10: Performance Creative

As paid social platforms become more competitive and creative fatigue sets in faster, brands are rethinking how they produce, test, and scale ad content. In this episode, Kimberly Anderson, Director of Content at Go Fish Digital, talks with Greg and Ethan about why performance creative today is less about polished production and more about speed, testing volume, and rapid iteration.

The discussion explores how teams are creating significantly more ad variations, why low-production native content is often outperforming traditional creative, and how AI is helping marketers scale testing without sacrificing learning. Greg and Ethan also explain the systems and processes required to turn more creative output into better performance.
