Case study

How it went.

  1. Before

    Elias edited every ad himself, on top of everything else a founder does. He wanted each one to be perfect, so it took time. Finished ideas sat in the pipeline instead of running. About two ads went out a month.

  2. What we did

    Elias had thought about hiring someone full time for editing. He brought us in instead. Since then we edit his video ads for Meta. Every ad gets several hooks. For some ads, Manu also stood in front of the camera as a UGC creator.

  3. After

    In strong months, up to 30 ads go out today. Elias no longer sits at the edit himself. When something comes in at short notice, it still gets done fast.

What changed

What changed for Kjavik.

Beyond the number, a lot changed for Elias himself.

“It was definitely quite a productivity boost.”

  1. Editing is off Elias’ desk

    It used to cost him a lot of time. Today we take care of it, from the raw cut to the finished ad.

  2. Barely any briefing

    Elias doesn’t have to add to every ad that it needs fast cuts and sound effects. We bring that from experience.

  3. Good looking and still fast

    Kjavik is a brand close to fashion. The ads have to look good and still be cut fast enough that nobody swipes away. That mix is exactly what Elias was looking for.

  4. Fast, even at short notice

    Kjavik no longer has fixed shoot days. Work comes in irregularly and often at short notice. Then we get started right away.

  5. No new hire

    Instead of hiring someone, Elias has a team that simply delivers. He didn’t have to search for anyone or train anyone.

Versions

One ad, many versions.

Meta can only find the best version if there is a choice. That is why we cut every ad in several versions. Everything here comes from real Kjavik ads.

  • Up to seven hooks

    The same content with different first seconds.

  • Long and short

    A full version and a tight one for fast feeds.

  • With and without B-roll

    Once just the speaker, once with cutaways.

  • Every shoe colour

    The same ad in black, green and white.

  • A version for Switzerland

    An adapted cut for customers in Switzerland.

  • With and without an AI voice

    We cut both versions, one with an AI voice and one with a real voice.

Three more ads from our work together

“I don’t have to add to every ad that we need fast cuts and sound effects. You just know it’s in safe hands.”
