Creative Demand
Model.

A percentage playbook for the creative team. The floor points to ~70 net-new ads in June — but the number that matters is the mix: what share of output goes to which persona, moment, and format. Hold the proportions and the volume takes care of itself.

READ ME FIRST

70 is a floor, not a ceiling — we expect to exceed it. Every target below is shown as a % of total output. Whatever volume the shop ships this month, keep it in these proportions.

Executive Summary

The mix, in three numbers.

June leans on a Father's Day gift moment and a B2G1 bundle test, on top of a durable evergreen base. We build only two kinds of creative — Moments (tied to a dated offer) and Evergreen (always-on by persona). Here's how the output should split.

Moments vs Evergreen
25% / 75%
~18 moment, ~52 always-on. Father's Day + B2G1 lead the moments; picky-eater & clean-ingredient creative leads the evergreen base.
Image vs Video
44% / 56%
Rebalance toward image. UGC video stays primary but trims; static offer + ingredient carousels are more efficient per dollar and the moments need them.
Top persona share
22%
Health-Conscious Parents stay the #1 evergreen lane. Picky-Eaters #2 (15%) and the new Tummy-Relief / gut lane #3 (11%) — the under-built winners.

The big bet for June

Close the kid-obsession gap. Reviews say "my kids ask for them" (42%) and rave about taste (36%), but paid leans on whole-food/ingredient messaging. The month's biggest unlock is briefing more picky-eater, no-fight-morning creative — paired with the Father's Day adult-line gift (the flagship moment) and the B2G1-for-Life bundle test to lower CAC and lift AOV/LTV.

The Spine · How we cut the month

Every ad is a Moment or it's Evergreen.

The first decision on any brief. A Moment ad is built for a dated offer window and retired when it closes — offer-forward, disposable. An Evergreen ad runs always-on against a persona's durable pain. The split below is the target proportion of total output.

● Moments · offer-driven
25% of output
≈18 of every 70 ads. B2G1 bundle, Father's Day gift, summer + BTS. Skews video (gifting + urgency convert on motion), but needs offer + SKU statics.
● Evergreen · persona-driven
75% of output
≈52 of every 70 ads. Always-on against durable pains — picky eating, clean ingredients, immunity, nutrition gaps. Funds the account between moments.
◂ MOMENTS 25%EVERGREEN 75% ▸

The rule for any brief

If a brief can't name the dated offer it's for, it's Evergreen — and it should lead with a persona pain, not a discount. Llama wins on trust, not promo dependence (the RYZE anti-pattern): an account that lives on offer creative collapses the moment the sale ends. Keep the evergreen base at ~75%.

Moments · Mapped to the June plan

The four offer windows — and their share.

Each window's share of moment creative, weighted to the offer's importance — with the Father's Day flagship getting a deliberate premium. Assumed June calendar — swap in the real marketing calendar.

Production scheduling read

Front-load the flagship. Father's Day needs its kit live by Jun 9 — gift UGC, founder remix with a gift CTA, and gift-set statics + carousels with the "order by" cutoff ready a week early. The B2G1 bundle launches the offer month on Jun 2; brief its offer-first statics + countdown first. Summer + BTS reuse evergreen with a seasonal hook.

Persona Rationale · the "why" sheet

Why each persona earns its share.

Toddler Age-Transition
HIGH · 5.8% of reviews

A clean gummy a hesitant parent will give an 18-month–2yo transitioning off purees. Large, under-built.

“Searching for a clean vegan multivitamin for my 2 year old, and this fit the bill.”

▸ Is-it-safe-for-toddlers explainer + UGC
“Only Thing He'll Take” Special-Needs
MED · high-intensity

The vitamin a sensory / autistic / ADHD child actually accepts after trying everything else.

“He is neurodivergent and VERY picky sensory wise… the only ones she'll take.”

▸ Founder-style parent testimonial
Ex-Flintstones / Switcher
LOW vol · strongest copy

Guilt about the sugary, dyed legacy brand → switch to clean whole-food.

“So glad to put the Flintstones vitamins behind us… so much better for them.”

▸ Us-vs-them comparison / side-by-side
Whole-Family / Adult-Sneaker

One clean gummy the whole house takes — gateway to the adult line + bundles (AOV).

“Delicious vitamins my kids beg for… I sneak one for myself too!”

▸ Bundle offer + family montage

“Their allergy statement is a slam dunk for our allergy family!”

▸ Ingredient/label proof carousel
Daycare / “Hasn't Been Sick”
MED · 0.6%+

Germ-exposure anxiety at daycare / pre-K; wants fewer sick days.

“My son started pre-k and hasn't been sick once. I think it's these gummies!”

▸ Seasonal immune UGC testimonial
Pill-Refuser Adult
MED · 0.8%

Adults with a doctor-told supplement who can't / won't swallow pills → adult line.

“As someone who struggles swallowing pills, these are a game changer!”

▸ Adult-line problem-solution UGC
Grandparent / Gift-Giver
MED · 0.9%

Grandparents & aunts buying as a recurring act of love; emotionally distinct.

“I buy these for my granddaughter and she reminds me every day.”

▸ Gifting-moment emotional UGC

Honorable mentions & a skip

Also worth testing: Vegan / "couldn't find a clean option," Skeptic-converted ("didn't think gummies worked"), and Subscription loyalists ("3rd restock," retention creative). Skip athletes / sports — only ~6 real mentions in 10k reviews; the data doesn't support a lane.

The honest caveat

Format signals awareness regardless of the theme tag — a relatable mom UGC tagged "picky eater" functionally meets a cold viewer. Use these percentages to brief the balance of the funnel, not as a hard contract on every ad. In-platform ROAS understates true performance; validate in Triple Whale.

The one-line read for the team

UGC eats ~66% of spend but image is more efficient per dollar — so June rebalances to 44% image / 56% video. Keep UGC as the workhorse, but grow Carousel (0.45x at ~3% of spend), Product/Offer statics, and Founder video — the formats that are both efficient and exactly what the moments + comparison proof demand.

How to use it

"Picky-Eaters × Video × 7" means 7 picky-eater videos (UGC, testimonial) about no-fight mornings and taste. Deep-rose cells get most volume; light cells sustain; dim cells are de-prioritized. Carousels are broken out because they're the underfed comparison-proof pipeline (Designers / Internal).

Methodology & Sources

How this model gets built.

The volume floor is a set recommendation; the % splits come from Motion performance, voice-of-customer, and an (assumed) June calendar. Refreshed weekly; targets reset the first Monday of each month.

The one thing to remember

These are proportions, not quotas. 70 is the floor and we expect to exceed it — so whatever the shop ships, hold the mix: the persona %, the awareness split, and the format targets. Two gaps to close to make this exact: swap in the real June marketing calendar, and get the Llama Meta account onto Supermetrics' prioritised list for the clean YoY. Bring new signal to the Monday sync and we'll re-pace.
