How it works

From brief to winning ad

One loop, run by one team. You give us the product. We hand you ads ready to run, then make the next batch smarter.

01

Brief & angles

We study your product, your reviews and what's winning in your space. Then we write the angles and hooks worth testing.

Strategy
02

Cast & frames

We build your characters and key frames first. You see them and say yes before a single clip is made.

You approve
03

Produce

Every clip runs on the best video model for the job, built from your real product photos.

Production
04

Human edit

Our editors cut every ad: pacing, captions, sound and music. Nothing ships raw.

Craft
05

Iterate

Notes go straight onto the cut. We fix it, then build the next batch from what's working.

From the founder

Most AI ads are slop. Ours sell.

I started Black Cactus behind a camera, making content for doctors in Lebanon. When AI video got good enough to fool me, I rebuilt the whole studio around it.

Every ad here starts with a real script and a real reason to exist, and ends with an editor who cares whether it sells. That's the part the tools can't do for you.

FAQ

Straight answers

The questions brands ask us before they start.

Isn't AI creative just slop?

Most of it is. Slop comes from skipping the hard parts: the script, the casting, the edit. We don't skip them. Every ad starts from a written concept and ends with a human edit.

Will it look like my real product?

Yes. We build from your actual product photos, so the bottle, the label and the colours match what you ship.

What styles can you make?

Realistic creator UGC, Pixar-style 3D, claymation, anime, cinematic AI drama and product close-ups. Same team, same process, any look.

Do you work in my niche?

Yes. We make every style for every niche, from peptides and supplements to skincare, jewellery and pets.

Do I get a say before you make the videos?

Always. You see the script, the characters and the key frames first. Nothing is made until you say yes.

How do revisions work?

Leave notes right on the video. We fix it and put the new version on top of the old one, so you always see the latest cut.

How many ads do I need?

Enough to keep testing. Most brands start with one strong script and a stack of different hooks, then scale what wins.

Do you run the ads too?

We make the creative. Your team or your media buyer runs the spend, and we build the next batch from what the numbers say.

How do we start?

Book a call. We look at your product and your current ads, and tell you straight if we're a fit.
