Creative strategy · for Chad

The other litter brands sell the new box. You argue against the old one. The money and the guests are next.

We read all 148 of your live ads and 208 frames from eight accounts around you, one picture at a time. None of the litter accounts argues against the old plastic box. You do, on 16 of 105, on smell, scrubbing or waste, and once against a machine; never on money or the people in the house. Two arguments in that lane are still open, and your own site and reviews already make both. So we built them.

01 · Your live ads now

Odor, no scrubbing, and the old box in the picture.

Nearly half of your 105 creatives show how the box works; five are review cards and twelve more are your "One star." parody-review joke. Sixteen put an old box in the frame as the thing to leave (fifteen a plastic tray, one a machine), eleven of them live in the last 15 days, and that group is the lane this page is about.

148 ads live on 8 September, checked in two places; the same picture on more than one ad counted once, 105 distinct creatives. The oldest went live on 16 Jun, 73 of the 105 in August or later, and every frame opens in the Ad Library.

Eight accounts, frame by frame.

What the picture says, not the caption. Per account: what the frames are doing, the oldest 4 of the 40 we pulled (the rest behind a button), days live as of 8 September 2026. Most of an account's 40 launched together, so we compare across accounts, not inside one. Every frame opens in the Ad Library.

A cat, at ease, and nothing written on it

Half the automatic box's frames are a cat in the machine, and its oldest of the 40 we pulled has run 154 days with no headline.

Shot on a phone, in a real room

Litter tracked across a floor, water poured on it, a finger pointing into a used machine: the category films it and you design it.

Six of the eight accounts open by saying who the ad is for ("Cat parents in small spaces." "I have 9 large cats."); you do it twice, both to the scrubber.

The price, said out loud

The biggest litter account prints "$149" on 5 of 30 frames and the toilet paper subscription puts "$56 for 4 months" on a sticky note; the box never prints a number.

Nobody argues against the old plastic box. Except you.

You put the old tray in the picture as the thing to leave on 16 of 105 (fifteen a plastic tray, one a machine), 11 of them live in the last 15 days, on smell, scrubbing or waste and once a machine, never on money or the people in the house.

A rival, named, in the customer's words

The biggest litter account points into the other machine and lets a customer say the name in a comment reply, no logo; your site has a whole page against the machine and your ads do not.

a rival on the frame: litter at least 4 of 150, all one account, by shape or a customer's words · the two analogues 6 of 58 · you: 0 of 105

The one-line read. The other litter brands sell the new box. You are the account that argues against the old one, and so far only on what it holds. The money and the people at the door are the two arguments left in your lane, and you already make both everywhere except in an ad. The two statics below are those two arguments, in your look.

What we did not count: what happens inside a video after its first frame, and any ad outside the 40 Meta returned per account. Every "none" above means none of the frames we opened.

04 · The angles

Each one comes from something we counted.

/01

What a month with the old box actually costs

Why
Your 16 old-box frames never carry a price; the biggest litter account prints $149 on 5 of 30.
What we would say
Put the whole month on the frame, store run, bag, scrub, the box you keep replacing, against one box, delivered.
Format
Your split, 4:5, real phone photos, one bathroom, same hour, only your numbers, never a percentage off.
Proof
Your reviewers argue price both ways ("Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Also yes."), and the oldest of the 39 toilet paper frames we pulled is a price comparison against the shelf brand, 116 days on 2 ads.
/02

Who else in the house can tell

Why
The old box is judged by people who never touch it: five of your reviewers and testimonials say so, and no other account in 208 frames says it.
What we would say
Two front doors, behind one the apology and the candle, behind the other a guest asking whether you even have a cat.
Format
Your split carried to a hallway, two phone photos of the same door, same afternoon.
Proof
A first line that names the reader is on six of the eight accounts, by eye, and yours already exists: "People who come in the house don't even know I have 5 cats."
/03

The machine still needs cleaning

Why
The machine is sold as the end of the chore, your site says otherwise, and the biggest litter account attacks it on at least 4 of 30 frames, no logo.
What we would say
Only the sentences your site already publishes, the machine's to-do list beside yours, a shape with no wordmark.
Format
Split static with two chore lists, plus a phone twin of a customer reading her own robot review to camera.
Proof
Ruth D., four cats, tried a robot, hated it and came back; held for a conversation, since you told us you were wary of it.
/04

The wall she couldn't climb

Why
For an older cat the problem is the wall, not the smell, and your tear-open door, 8.75 inches down to 5.25, is on none of your frames.
What we would say
The strip torn out, the cat walks in, easier entrance and nothing more.
Format
Two-frame static, tall wall against low door, cat mid-step, plus a ten-second phone video of the strip coming out.
Proof
A reviewer wrote "The litter box delivery is making an olde lady's life so much easier", and the cat at ease is the oldest of the 40 automatic-box frames we pulled, 154 days, no words.
/05

Box day, on a phone

Why
Phone-shot is 144 of 208 category frames against your 25 of 105, and your product has a step no litter brand can film: the whole box goes out the door.
What we would say
Tape it shut, out to the recycling, the new one unfolds, litter already in, two minutes.
Format
9:16 phone video, one bathroom, one hallway, one cat, tape and door as the only sound.
Proof
Susie D. wrote "I love taping it up and throwing it away", and one of your four oldest live frames, all 84 days, is the water demo with the rubber ducks.

05 · The ads, made

Not directions. The actual ads.

Two statics. The lane you are building, two arguments it has not carried. Your split, your palette, your numbers. No offer on either; the 30% stays where it is.

A plastic litter box is something you keep trying to clean. Every month it asks for a store run, a 20-pound bag up the stairs, and a scrub you put off until Saturday. Ours arrives full every 4 weeks, from $27.99. When the month is up you tape it shut and recycle it. No store run. No scrub. Cancel anytime. You get the hour back.
Ad headline
A fresh box every 4 weeks. From $27.99.
Why. Sixteen of your frames put an old box in the picture as the thing to leave; not one carries a price. "The box you keep trying to clean" is your own page. "20-pound bag up the stairs" is a customer. The price is your product page. The form is the oldest of the 39 toilet paper frames we pulled.
Drop if: 21 days beside your current split and it loses on cost per new subscriber. Then the number moves to the body copy and the split goes back to smell.

Five from the creative department, made blind

The wild ones, for pushing.

  1. A litter box is not supposed to last ten years. A litter box is not supposed to last ten years. Durability as the flaw.
  2. What 3 million litter boxes have in common. Not one of them has ever been scrubbed. No old box on the frame at all.
  3. We sell the hour, not the box. We don't sell litter boxes. We sell the hour you spend on one.
  4. It knows the month is up before you do. "It always comes just in time." Paula, 5-star review.
  5. How to cancel Kitty Poo Club. Email support before your next box. No fee. That's the whole process. Our nervous one. Needs your word on the cancel flow.

Sorry about the smell, we have a cat. Every cat owner has said it at the door. Then one of ours wrote this: "Visitors are surprised we even have a cat." A fresh litter box every 4 weeks, litter already in it, recycled when the month is up. Nothing to explain at the door.
Ad headline
Guests stop asking if you have a cat.
Why. Your door frame has run 59 days. Five of your reviewers and testimonials say the line. No other account in 208 frames touches it. This is the version your lane has not run: the two houses side by side. The left house is clean and pleasant; the joke is the effort, never the dirt.
Drop if: 21 days beside S/01 and your own door frame and it loses to both. If comments read it as "you're gross" rather than "we've all done it", pull it and reshoot the left half with one candle.

Five from the creative department, made blind

The wild ones, for pushing.

  1. The cover-up is the confession. Nobody's hallway smells that much like vanilla. Our nervous one.
  2. Five cats. Guess how many her guests counted. Five cats. Guess how many her guests counted.
  3. Permission to host. You're allowed to have people over again.
  4. The best compliment a cat owner can get. "I walked by and didn't immediately know a litter box existed in that bathroom at all."
  5. The doormat. We have a cat. You'll have to take our word for it. Woven on a real doormat, cat's paws at the edge.

06 · The videos, with scripts

Every line, with a timestamp.

Phone, no crew, no set, no music. A customer or creator with her own cat, her own bathroom, her own front door. Captions in your sentence case.

Two ways to make these

Shot: a phone, a real hallway, a real cat, one afternoon.

AI commercial: the same script, the rooms and the cat generated, cinematic light, no shoot. We can do either, or one of each to test.

How it is shot
One afternoon, two rooms, one friend, one cat. Propped, then handheld, then propped.
Why. Your door frame already earns 59 days as a still. A person on screen is the category's norm and your real-person share is 9 of 105. "I have people over now" answers your own frame's line.
Drop if: under 7 days twice. Then the door stays a static.

The wild ones.

  1. Start the house tour in the bathroom. House tour. We're starting in the bathroom. That's where the litter box is.
  2. She's behind you. So you don't have the cat anymore? I do. She's behind you.
  3. Told by the cat. I've been told I don't smell like a cat. I'm choosing to take it as a compliment.
  4. How long until she notices. Don't tell her we have a cat. Let's see how long it takes. A timer in the corner.
  5. Doorbell camera. Since when do they have a cat? Our nervous one; needs the guests' consent.

Straight. A cat at ease in the product is the oldest of the 40 automatic-box frames we pulled, 154 days, no words. A first line that names the reader is on six of eight accounts, by eye. Nobody aims at the senior cat. Two forms proven, one reader untested.
Drop if: under 7 days twice. Then the strip becomes a beat inside V/03.

  3. Perforated. On purpose. This is the only litter box I've ever been allowed to take a piece off. On purpose.
  4. The kitten. Third go. Okay. I'll fix it. The little one, on the way in.

Why. Seven of the eight accounts open in the first person, by eye; the filmed demo is on three of the litter accounts, by eye; the category shoots 144 of 208 frames on a phone. Your oldest live frame, 84 days, is a filmed demo. The step no litter brand can film is the box leaving the house.
Drop if: under 7 days twice. Then your graphic version of the routine keeps the slot.

Five openings from the creative department, made blind

The wild ones.

  1. Never been cleaned. Never will be. Nobody has ever cleaned this litter box. Nobody's going to.
  2. Every 4 weeks, this leaves the house. That was the litter box. Shot from the front step.
  3. The box is the calendar. I don't own a calendar. I own this. When it's box day, it's been four weeks.
  4. The fresh-sheets feeling. Fresh start. Whispered at 4 seconds, shot like a bed being made.
  5. 28 days of nothing. Day 1 ... Day 28. Nothing happened. Our nervous one; a slow open on purpose.

07 · What we would test first

Two questions, then scale what answers.

Two questions. Each answers something about your buyer that the library cannot.

Test one
Does the switch land harder as a number or as a moment? S/01 against S/02, same ad set, same week, 21 days, cost per new subscriber. If the number wins, your buyer is doing arithmetic. If the doors win, your buyer decides at the front door.
Test two
Does your comparison hold when it is shot the way the category shoots? Take the winner and run its phone twin: a real old box, a real bathroom, the same argument, no designed frame. The category shoots 69% of its frames on a phone; you shoot 24%. It is the biggest counted difference between your account and the category as a whole, and it costs almost nothing.
Then
Whichever static wins gets its video (V/01 for the doors, V/03 for the number). The wall (V/02) runs as the swing alongside, 7 days, twice. Nothing here touches your current ads.

That is the strategy

If these land, we can get on a call and work out the next steps for Kitty Poo Club.

For the deeper read, we are happy to work with access to your Ads Manager and build the next batch on what is actually winning in your account, not on what we can see from outside.
