In this video, I take a winning ad from my own brand, PupRing, and completely recreate it using AI by retargeting it to completely different audience segments. By the end, we export a finished ad ready to launch made fully with ai.
You can use this walkthrough on how to take a winning ad (yours or a competitor's) and break down the strategic thinking behind identifying which variables made the original ad work, which ones need to change, and how to rebuild the entire ad scene by scene.
Tools Used:
Analysis & Swipe File: Floh (waitlist: https://app.floh.ai/waitlist)
Movement Extraction: Gemini (video → JSON)
AI & Generation: Freepik (Nano Banana Pro model for image generation, Kling 3.0 for video generation)
Editing: CapCut (final assembly, text overlays, music)

• Before touching any tool, separate your variables into two buckets: what made it work (keep these) vs. who it speaks to (change this). The controversial tattoo driving comments stays; the young girl becomes a mom
• Most products have multiple buyer personas beyond the obvious — a dog mom jewelry brand where 90% of purchases are gifts means boyfriends, husbands, and kids are all untapped audiences for
