(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nDollar Shave Club has begun using generative AI for ad creative, most recently executing its Fourth of July campaign with AI-assisted assets, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): AI creative tools let you test 5–10 messaging variations in the time it takes an agency to produce one. Generate AI creative for your next holiday push, test three variants at 20% budget each, and pour the winning message's budget into that single ad. Dollar Shave Club did not hire more designers — they moved creation in-house via AI. That keeps the margin on paid spend higher because you're not paying production markup.\nWhat that means for you: Dollar Shave Club is not bragging about being the first — they're quietly using AI for Fourth of July, a test window where you can afford to miss. That's the right move: use AI where the downside is manageable, measure the performance, and scale what works. The brand is likely testing whether AI-generated creative underperforms brand-made creative, or if the speed gain is worth a slight CPA lift. This is pragmatic, not ideological.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/how-dollar-shave-club-decides-when-to-use-ai-generated-creative/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
