Today, we’re diving into one of the most hotly debated topics in performance marketing: creative testing volume. Should you prioritize scaling creative volume or focus on quality? In this episode, we share how we’re approaching creative testing, how our strategies have evolved over time, what we’re budgeting for creative, when more isn’t always better, and the costs of maximizing volume.

We also explore the challenges of producing at scale, what “quality” really means in today’s ad landscape, and how creative strategy evolves as a business grows.
