Concept samples

Four ads, scene by scene

Each sample is a storyboard for a 20-second vertical ad: the hook, the demo, the payoff and the call to action. Finished video versions are added here as they are rendered.

Who it's for

Made for brands that are starting to scale

We work best with founder-led brands that have a product people buy and are now growing on paid social.

A good fit if you

  • Sell online, usually on Shopify, in the US or UK
  • Run (or are about to run) Meta or TikTok ads
  • Need new ads every month but can't justify creator shoots
  • Want to test more hooks and angles to find winners
  • Like working directly with the people making your ads

What we don't do

  • Influencer campaigns, gifting or affiliate programmes
  • Organic social media management
  • Ads that pretend to be real customer reviews
  • Medical or health claims
  • Media buying (we make the ads; you or your buyer run them)
AI ads or a creator shoot?

Use each for what it's good at

About the studio

A small studio built for growing brands

Scalehive is a small, remote creative studio. We started it because good ad creative shouldn't need an agency retainer or a month of shipping products to creators.

Every ad is planned and scripted by people, made with the help of AI tools, and checked by a person before it reaches you. We take on a few brands at a time, so you always talk to the people making your ads.

  • Remote, US and UK hoursWe overlap with your working day on both sides of the Atlantic.
  • Reply within one working dayBriefs, feedback and revisions never sit in a queue.
  • Honest by defaultDemonstration ads only. No fake reviews, no invented customers.
FAQ

Questions brands ask

What is an AI UGC ad?

A short, phone-style video ad that looks and feels like content a creator would post. We write the script, generate the scenes and presenter with AI tools, add a voiceover and captions, and edit it into a finished ad.

Do you need to send us products?

No. We work from your product photos, product page and reviews. If you have existing footage, we can use it too.

Which platforms are the ads for?

Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Every ad comes in vertical, square and landscape versions.

Can we see an ad for our product before paying?

Yes. We make one personalised sample ad for your product, free and with no commitment. A short call is optional.

We're a small brand. Is this for us?

Yes. We set Scalehive up for growing brands that need good ads without agency retainers. If you're already running Meta or TikTok ads, or about to start, we can help.

What do you need from us?

Your store link, product photos and any reviews or customer feedback. We can sort out the rest by email or on a short call, whichever suits you.

Where are you based?

We're a remote studio working with brands in the US and UK, with overlapping hours for both.

How much does it cost?

It depends on how many ads you need and how often. We quote each brand after seeing your product, and the first sample ad is free.
