Our Approach
How We
Built It.
01
Studied the Audience & Drafted the Buyer Persona
We began by analyzing Legacy Life Insurance’s target market, audience behavior, and competitor ads to identify gaps and creative opportunities. Understanding exactly who was buying life insurance — and what emotional triggers drove the decision — was the foundation everything else was built on.
02
Developed Out-of-the-Box Video Creatives
Our team crafted multiple unique video concepts designed to capture attention in a highly competitive financial services feed. We tested various hooks and ad variations to identify what stopped the scroll and drove qualified clicks — not just curious ones.
03
Recreated the Winning Ad for Scale
Once the best-performing ad was identified, we refined and relaunched it with optimised targeting and CBO budget allocation to maximise ROI. Scaling a proven concept — rather than continuing to test unproven ones — is what turned a strong campaign into a 13.88× ROAS result.

In the Client’s Words
What the
Client Said.
$36,000 in ad spend. $12 CPL over 3,000 leads in the last 5 months. And a 38% conversion on those leads to sales. Pretty much netting me around $50k a month.

Why It Worked
The Creative
Principles Behind It.
01
🎯
Audience Before Creative
Before writing a single script, we mapped the buyer persona in detail — who buys life insurance, what fears and responsibilities drive the decision, and where competitor ads were leaving gaps. The creative was built around those insights, not around what looked good.
02
🧪
Test, Then Scale
Multiple video concepts and hook variations were tested before budget was committed. Once the winning ad was identified, we stopped testing and started scaling — refinancing the concept with CBO budget allocation to extract maximum ROAS from a proven performer.
03
📊
Lead Quality Over Volume
A 38% lead-to-close rate is exceptional for any industry — in insurance, it’s elite. That number doesn’t happen by accident. It means the creative was pre-qualifying the right buyer before they ever clicked, delivering leads the sales team could actually close.
