Why Your Meta Ads Stop Working After 14 Days
DTC brands spending £10k-£100k/month on Meta ads hit the same wall: creative fatigue. Your winning ad dies. CPA spikes. ROAS tanks. Here's why it happens and how to fix it.
What Creative Fatigue Looks Like for DTC
You launch a winning ad. Week 1: CPA £15, ROAS 4x, crushing it. Week 2: CPA £22, ROAS 2.8x. Week 3: CPA £35, ROAS 1.5x. Same budget. Same targeting. Your audience has seen this ad too many times.
CPA Climbing Every Week
Your winning ad worked for 7-14 days. Now CPA is up 50-100%. ROAS tanking.
Frequency > 3
Same people seeing your ad 5, 6, 7 times. They're banner blind to it now.
CTR Dropping Fast
Started at 3-4%, now under 1%. Your audience has seen this ad too many times.
ROAS Collapse
Same budget, same targeting. Half the revenue. Creative fatigue killed it.
How DTC Brands Fight Creative Fatigue
Traditional production: 2 weeks, £2k per shoot, 10 final assets. AI: Same day, fraction of cost, 50+ unique variations.
Prevention is Better Than Cure

- Launch every product with 50+ creative variations ready
