Challenge

Studio ads felt like banking ads. Polished spokespeople and stock UI shots got scrolled past, and every new claim needed legal sign-off.

What we did

  • Real-user style videos with in-app screen recording
  • Compliant claims: every dollar figure tied to an approved example and disclosure
  • Creators who actually use cash-back apps for groceries and gas
  • Pre-submission review against Meta and TikTok financial-services policies
“The ads finally looked like our users, not a bank. Reviews came back clean and cost per install dropped within the first month.”
