CE Digital × AdCrush Included

Most creators are paid to deliver.
Ours are paid to perform.

AdCrush is our UGC platform. We’re the exclusive agency on it. Creators don’t collect a flat fee for uploading a file. They earn on the ad spend their video attracts, so the ones who make ads that convert are the ones who get paid.

  • 01Hand-picked, not a marketplace. The big UGC platforms take anyone with a ring light. Every creator here is vetted on how their past ads performed.
  • 02We run all of it. Briefing, casting, revisions, usage rights, payouts. You never manage a creator.
  • 03Included in what you already pay us. No creative retainer, no per-video invoices. If creative is your bottleneck, we open the tap.

Step 01

We write the brief

Off your account, not a template. What’s fatiguing, which angle is untested, which winner needs a fresh cut.

Step 02

Creators compete for it

Several creators, several takes, ranked on in-feed performance.

Step 03

Winners take budget

The best cuts scale and the creators behind them earn more. The next brief is sharper for it.

Most brands ration creative because every asset has a price tag. They shoot quarterly, test three concepts, and coast. Take the price tag off and the constraint disappears. You test more, kill losers faster, and stop flatlining between shoots.

Many brands.
Different solutions.

Sometimes the gap is creative volume. Sometimes it’s measurement. Sometimes nobody has tied spend to contribution margin.

+42% Average year-over-year contribution margin growth across the portfolio, measured on EBITDA impact rather than dashboard ROAS.

Creative volume was the constraint. We made it the growth lever, then paced spend to demand planning.

Ad Signl by CE Digital

Creative intelligence
for brands at scale.

AdSignl is the system we run our own accounts on. It holds what worked and what didn’t across every brand we’ve managed: the hooks, the formats, the offers, the audience cuts. Every new client starts with that context already loaded.

It reads the creative itself: the actual frames, the voiceover, the copy, the page the ad points to. Those attributes get correlated against hold rate, ROAS, and revenue. Underneath, Meta, Google, GA4, and your attribution platform are reconciled into a single warehouse every night, so it reasons from real numbers rather than platform-reported ones.

Used daily by our team and clients.

How we use it on your account
Why is our top ad working?
Creative intelligence

Your top 3 revenue drivers share a pattern: direct-address hooks outperform lifestyle openers by 2.4× ROAS. Video ads with voiceover in the first 3 seconds have a 68% higher hold rate. The #1 ad is also your only one hitting all 3 demographic sweet spots.

What would you kill today?
Budget optimization

4 ads in the bottom quadrant: high spend, below-median ROAS. Combined $14,200 in last-7 spend at 0.8× average. All four tripped the kill rule three days ago.

Illustrative output.

Plain English in, a decision out. No SQL, no exports, no waiting on a report to find out what your account already knows.

Tailored strategy.
Shaped by margins, data, creative.

Some brands have strong creative and broken measurement. Others have clean data and can’t produce at volume. We find out which one you are before we touch anything.

01

Diagnose

A deep read on your creative pipeline, data integrity, and unit economics, run through AdSignl. We map where performance leaks and where the fast wins are.

02

Build

Media plan, creative brief, and forecast, together. You approve the number before a dollar moves.

03

Compound

Month three beats month one. More data, sharper creative, wider margin.

Who it’s for

  • $5M–$100M annual revenue
  • High creative volume needs
  • Founder-led or private-equity backed
  • Treats marketing as capital allocation, not expense
Not a fit if

“You’re looking for a quick hack, have no established shipping infrastructure, or view marketing as an expense rather than a capital investment.”

Our track record

All Q4 2025 new clients came through network referrals, from partners like Northbeam, Triple Whale, and our Meta Reps directly. Our reputation is our pipeline.

What’s actually different

The typical agency model.
How we work.

Many operators.
For many different needs.

Every client gets a dedicated senior operator. No junior handoff. No account executive relaying messages to the person who runs your account.

a conversation.

Thirty minutes with an operator. We’ll ask about your creative pipeline, your measurement, and your margins. No deck. No pitch.

  • Applications reviewed weekly
  • You’ll talk to an operator, not a salesperson
  • We’ll tell you if we’re not the right fit

We review every application personally. Privacy policy
