🎬 UGC Ad Examples #104 | September 30, 2025

Welcome to your weekly dose of ad creative inspiration.

What's the difference between an amateur creator and a professional one? Often, it's not about having the best camera—it's about understanding that the first take is rarely the best one.

Delivering multiple variations of a single concept is one of the most valuable things you can do for a client. It gives their marketing team options to A/B test and find a winning ad, positioning you as a strategic partner, not just a content creator. This week, we're looking at a perfect example of this process in action.

You can (easily) launch a newsletter too

This newsletter you couldn’t wait to open? It runs on beehiiv — the absolute best platform for email newsletters.

Our editor makes your content look like Picasso in the inbox. Your website? Beautiful and ready to capture subscribers on day one.

And when it’s time to monetize, you don’t need to duct-tape a dozen tools together. Paid subscriptions, referrals, and a (super easy-to-use) global ad network — it’s all built in.

beehiiv isn’t just the best choice. It’s the only choice that makes sense.

Ad Teardown: The Power of Multiple Takes

Creator Sophie shared a brilliant behind-the-scenes look at her process, showcasing four different takes of the exact same concept for a jeans ad.

This is more than just a cool editing trick; it's a showcase of a professional workflow. Here’s a breakdown of why this is so valuable.

🧠 The Strategy: Providing Options for A/B Testing

Even when the script is the same, no two takes are identical. Sophie's video demonstrates how subtle changes in intonation, pacing, and camera angles can create a completely different feel for each version.

  • Take 1 might feel energetic and upbeat.

  • Take 2 might be more calm and conversational.

  • Take 3 might have a slightly different hook that grabs attention in a new way.

A brand's media buyer can now test all four variations to see which one resonates most with their audience and drives the best results (e.g., lower cost-per-click, higher conversion rate).

💡 The Value: From Creator to Creative Partner

When you deliver multiple takes, you are no longer just a creator fulfilling a brief. You are an active participant in the success of the brand's ad campaign. You're showing them that you understand that marketing is about testing and iteration. This is the kind of strategic thinking that gets you re-hired for long-term retainers.

The #1 platform for newsletters. Period.

beehiiv is the one platform that does everything for your newsletter. And they do mean everything:

  • A newsletter editor that makes your words shine like they belong on a bestseller list

  • A no-code website builder that doubles as your 24/7 subscriber magnet

  • Revenue tools that make earning money so easy it feels like cheating: ads, referrals, and paid subs

If you’ve got a newsletter (or even just the idea for one), beehiiv is the ultimate no-brainer.

💡 Steal This Tactic:

For your next client project, don't just film one perfect take. Intentionally film 2-3 variations of your main hook or your call to action. Deliver them as separate files and label them clearly (e.g., "Hook_Option_A," "Hook_Option_B"). In your delivery email, briefly explain the difference: "I've included two extra hook variations—one with a more energetic tone and one that's more direct—for you to test." This simple step will instantly make you stand out.
