Turning iPhone Clips into CTV Ads

500% ROAS, -30% CPA reduction

The Goal

Stono Outdoor wanted to explore the potential of Connected TV but wasn’t ready to invest in a full-scale shoot. The ask: build a high-quality ad using only the iPhone footage they already had. The goal was to test the platform’s effectiveness for their audience without committing to a major production budget—just smart creative thinking and sharp execution.

"That campaign is still our top performer. CPL is crushing our target. We’re really happy with how it’s doing."
Xavier Meier, President at Stono Outdoor Living Co.

The Approach

Savvy Studios turned raw, user-generated-style content into a polished, platform-optimized CTV ad. We handled scriptwriting, art direction, and editing—layering in branded frames, animated graphics, and a clean AI voiceover to elevate the footage without losing its authentic, real-customer feel.

The campaign was purpose-built for both streaming and social. The CTV spot followed best practices for clarity, pacing, and brand visibility on large screens, while the social cutdowns were tailored for Meta with platform-native copy, ratios, and CTA integration. This gave Stono a lightweight but high-performing creative suite, tailored for multiple placements from one simple input.

The Result

The CTV retargeting campaign delivered 500% ROAS, with users averaging nearly 3 web site pages per visit - a clear sign of high intent and interest, especially given Stono’s long sales cycle for premium outdoor furniture.

On Meta, the social versions cut CPA by 30%, outperforming all benchmarks and proving that high-quality storytelling - even if crafted from existing iPhone footage - can move the needle across channels.

What started as a scrappy experiment became a high-performance campaign and a scalable blueprint for future creative.
