Ecommerce Playbook: Numbers, Struggles & Growth

Creative Strategy Is Dead (Here’s What Actually Works in 2026)


Listen Later

In this episode, Taylor explains why the traditional creative loop—analyzing past ads, chasing CTRs, writing briefs, and hoping for better results—isn’t just inefficient, it’s actively hurting growth.

Instead, we break down what actually works in 2026: treating creative like a supply chain, not a brainstorming exercise.

You’ll learn:

  • Why creative strategy is no longer about ideas or opinions

  • How to tie creative output directly to financial forecasts and media spend

  • What a “creative demand plan” looks like in practice

  • Why volume, velocity, and systems beat “great ads” every time

  • How the role of creative strategist is collapsing into growth and profit engineering

This conversation is for founders, CMOs, and operators running Meta ads at scale who are tired of guessing, reacting late, and burning money on creative that doesn’t move the business.

If you’re still asking “What should this ad say?” instead of “What does the system need to produce this month?”—this episode will change how you think about creative forever.
