02 โ€” Case Study

PROOF OVER PROMISES

What actually happened when a brand ran on my strategy + AI systems.

SUBSCRIPTION DTC ยท META ยท WITH OPASCOPEโœ“ Real results

$620K โ†’ $2.6MM MONTHLY,
SCALED THROUGH CREATIVE

When I joined the boutique agency Opascope, their largest client โ€” a monthly subscription product โ€” was spending $620K a month on Meta. Ninety days later the account was at $2.6MM, scaled almost entirely through ad creative.

The engine was the playbook system I've written over years of buying and strategy: scaling an account across three dimensions I call width, depth, and weight โ€” powered by AI tooling for research, briefs, and ad production, with my strategy overseeing every output.

And those numbers undersell it: they exclude subscription LTV and the scale the Meta creative unlocked inside the brand's Google account.

THE HUMAN IN THE LOOP

Brian McCreadie

BRIAN McCREADIE

Creative Strategist & AI Marketer

I'm a creative strategist first, an AI builder second โ€” and that order matters. Generic AI tools are built by developers guessing what marketers need. Mine are built from ten years in the weeds of what actually drives performance.

A background in video editing, design, scriptwriting, and photography feeds all of it โ€” and the work has made me a Top 20 freelancer with The Starters and a USA finalist in a world-renowned Cannes Lions competition.

Every system I ship is trained on the specifics: your customer research, your brand guidelines, your past winners, and my own creative frameworks. Then I stay in the loop โ€” strategy and taste take every output across the finish line.

That combination is how I scaled my biggest client's Meta account from $620K to $2.6MM in monthly spend โ€” in 90 days, almost entirely through ad creative.

I came up through every seat at the table โ€” buying media at Maxus, selling it at Hulu, then running paid social hands-on at FCB and Sonova. Somewhere in those trenches it became obvious that creative is the biggest lever in the account, and that is where I have lived ever since. Today the focus is creative strategy and the AI systems that let it run at scale.
