The Challenge

AI Studio is an iOS application that empowers users to generate AI-powered videos directly from their phones. By September 2025, the app had reached $10,000 MRR — respectable growth, but the team knew they were leaving significant revenue on the table.

Their core challenge was creative production at scale. To fuel their ambitious affiliate marketing strategy — recruiting TikTok and Instagram creators to promote the app — they needed hundreds of unique, platform-native video ads every week. Traditional production methods couldn't keep up.

The bottleneck was clear: each affiliate needed unique creative assets to avoid ad fatigue and audience overlap. Producing 100+ unique videos manually was financially and operationally impossible.

The Solution: AdCreate API Integration

AI Studio integrated AdCreate's enterprise API, gaining programmatic access to two of the platform's most powerful tools: Persona: AI UGC Video Ads and Motus: AI Motion Design Ads.

With Persona, they generated authentic UGC-style videos featuring diverse AI avatars — each one unique, each one tailored to a specific affiliate's audience and niche. No two creators received the same content.

With Motus, they produced polished motion design ads for higher-funnel campaigns: product showcases, feature highlights, and seasonal promotions that maintained brand consistency while testing dozens of creative angles simultaneously.

The API integration enabled fully automated, programmatic ad generation — producing hundreds of unique creatives per week without a single manual design step. Their affiliate network became a self-sustaining content distribution machine.

Building the Social Media Army

The combination of unlimited creative production and AI-powered personalization enabled AI Studio to recruit and equip over 100 TikTok and Instagram affiliates — each armed with fresh, unique creative assets tailored to their specific audience.

This wasn't a spray-and-pray approach. Each affiliate received a custom content package built around their niche, audience demographics, and content style. A fitness-focused TikTok creator received AI-generated UGC videos demonstrating the app's video editing features through a fitness lens. A lifestyle Instagram creator got motion-designed showcase reels highlighting aesthetic video templates.

The result was an organic-feeling, platform-native content explosion across both TikTok and Instagram — with every piece of content traceable, measurable, and optimizable through AdCreate's analytics pipeline.

“AdCreate didn't just give us a tool — it gave us an unfair advantage. We went from manually producing a handful of creatives per week to generating hundreds programmatically. Our affiliates always have fresh content, our ROAS keeps climbing, and we're still nowhere near the ceiling.”
