description	Use when refreshing ad creatives. Creative fatigue = audience saw ad too many times, performance drops.

Creative Fatigue and Refresh

Refresh creative every 2-4 weeks. Symptoms: rising CPM, declining CTR, declining conversion. New creative resets the cycle.

Creative fatigue signs

1. CTR drops 20-30% from peak
2. CPM rises 30-50%
3. Conversion rate declines
4. Frequency >5 (audience saw ad 5+ times)
5. Engagement (likes, comments) drops

Refresh strategies

1. New visual — same message, different image/video
2. New angle — same product, different benefit
3. New format — video → carousel → static
4. New audience — broaden or refine targeting
5. A/B test new variants — keep what wins

Asset library approach

Build asset library:

1. 10-20 creative variants ready at any time
2. Mix formats (video, carousel, single image)
3. Mix angles (problem, solution, social proof)
4. Test 3-5 simultaneously
5. Promote winners
6. Refresh quarterly
