The hidden ad budget drain.
These kind of ads are beating your best creatives.

Most founders have no idea what's happening to their biggest line item.
You're obsessing over that perfect UGC video while 70% of your Meta budget goes to ads you've never even looked at.
Catalog ads.
They look ugly. No branding. No strategy. No optimization.
But here's the crazy part:
Even these terrible catalog ads outperform your best creative.
Plain catalog ads: 6.86 ROAS Your polished image ads: 4.0 ROAS
The opportunity most brands miss:
