Your Creative
Asset Guide

The creative is responsible for 80% of your ad results. This page covers everything you need to know — the photos we want from you, how our AI ad strategy works, and the video formats we use to generate leads for your business.

📸 Part 1: Photo Guidelines
💡
Do you have professional photos? If yes — great! Send through everything you've got and we'll test those alongside what we create. If not, that's completely fine — read on to understand why it doesn't matter.

Why the creative is everything

On Facebook and Instagram, images are what stop the scroll. If your creative doesn't grab attention in half a second, the ad fails. You're competing with every other tradie, advertiser, and cat video on their feed.

🎬 Part 3: Video Ad Examples

The 4 Video Ad Formats

These are the four video formats we use to generate leads for tradie businesses. Each one serves a different purpose in the customer journey. Watch the examples below to understand what we're looking for — then film your own and send it through to Aaron on WhatsApp.

🤳 Selfie / Talking Head

The most powerful format for building trust. You speak directly to camera — no script needed, just be natural. Homeowners want to see the person behind the business before they enquire. This format builds the "know, like, trust" factor faster than any other.

30–60 seconds Speak naturally Good lighting Branded uniform Outdoors or on-site
Example 1
Example 2

🏗️ Project Showcase

A walkthrough of a completed job. This format shows homeowners the quality of your work in a real-world context. Film yourself walking through a finished project, pointing out key details. It demonstrates expertise and builds confidence in your craftsmanship.

Walk the finished job Point out key details 30–90 seconds Natural commentary Good lighting
Example 1

⭐ Testimonial

A happy client speaking directly to camera about their experience. This is the most credible form of social proof — real homeowners talking about real results. Ask a satisfied client to record a short video on their phone. Authenticity matters more than production quality here.

Real client, real words 30–60 seconds Filmed at their home Unscripted is better Mention specific results
Example 1

🔄 Transformation

The before-and-after reveal. This is the highest-performing format for renovation and trade businesses because it creates an immediate visual impact. Film the "before" state, then reveal the "after" — the contrast does the selling for you. Homeowners see exactly what's possible for their own home.

Same angle for both shots Dramatic reveal moment 15–45 seconds Add music in edit Clear before state
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Example 4
📲
How to film: Use your phone in portrait (vertical) mode. Film in a well-lit area. Don't worry about perfection — authentic, natural content outperforms polished corporate video every time. Send the raw footage to Aaron on WhatsApp and we'll handle the rest.
