What it is

What Ad Creative Video Editing Means

85thAgency provides ad creative video editing for brands, creative teams and agencies that already have footage, concepts or creative direction and need finished video ads for paid social. Clients can send A-roll, B-roll, UGC, product footage, scripts, hooks, references or existing ads. 85thAgency handles the editing and post-production.

Ad creative video editing turns raw footage, scripts and creative direction into finished ads ready for platforms such as Meta, TikTok and YouTube. 85thAgency handles the editing layer — including structure, pacing, captions, B-roll, graphics, sound design and creative variations — while the client or agency keeps control of strategy and campaign management.

85thAgency creates the video creative. The client or their advertising partner remains responsible for media buying, targeting, campaign management and ad spend.

  • U.S.-based video editing company with a team of 20+ editors
  • Guaranteed 24–48 hour turnaround
  • For brands, agencies, creative strategists and media buyers
  • Multiple ad formats and multiple client accounts supported
  • Creative variations produced on request
  • Existing creative re-edited into new versions
  • Flexible, on-demand model; video credits do not expire
What you send

You Bring the Creative Direction. We Build the Ads.

85thAgency is especially useful when the strategy is already happening elsewhere. Your creative strategist, media buyer, agency or internal team can provide the concept, script, footage, references and testing direction. Our team turns those inputs into finished video creative. Send whichever of these you have.

Creative brief

Angle, audience, offer, messaging and intended platform where provided.

Footage

UGC, creator footage, product footage, talking-head, B-roll, testimonials or existing assets.

References

Existing winning ads, competitor references, brand examples or previous edits.

Versions needed

Different hooks, openings, CTAs, lengths, aspect ratios or other requested variations.

Creative testing

One Concept Doesn’t Have to Mean One Ad

When the client or strategist wants multiple versions, the same body of footage can be edited into different creative variations for testing.

  • Different hooks
  • Different opening shots
  • Different first lines
  • Different pacing
  • Different proof points
  • Different CTAs
  • Different lengths
  • Different aspect ratios
  • Different text treatments

85thAgency creates the requested creative variations. The client or media-buying team decides how those versions are tested and evaluates the campaign results.

The First Seconds Matter

Supplied creative direction can be executed through a strong first visual, immediate dialogue, problem-first or result-first openings, pattern interrupts, large readable text where appropriate and fast access to the core message. When multiple hooks are supplied, 85thAgency can create separate versions around those openings without rebuilding every ad from scratch.

Create Fresh Versions Without Reshooting Everything

New ad creative does not always require a completely new shoot. When enough usable footage exists, existing ads, unused B-roll, alternate UGC takes, product footage, testimonials, founder footage and creator footage can be re-edited into fresh versions using different hooks, structures, pacing, graphics, B-roll, CTAs or lengths. The number of genuinely different variations depends on the footage and creative direction available.

Ad formats

The Types of Ad Creatives We Edit

We edit supplied footage into UGC-style ads, product ads, ecommerce and DTC ads and service-business ads, among others.

UGC-style ads

Raw creator or customer-style footage edited into paid-social creative. We edit supplied UGC; we are not a creator-sourcing platform.

Product ads

Product footage edited around features, benefits, demonstrations, problems and solutions, and offers supplied by the client.

Founder and talking-head ads

Direct-to-camera footage edited with B-roll, captions, graphics, pacing and supporting proof.

Testimonial ads

Customer footage structured into paid-social creative.

Service-business ads

Job footage, transformations, owner content and testimonials edited for service-business advertising.

Ecommerce and DTC ads

Product, creator and brand footage edited for ecommerce advertising workflows.

Platforms

Paid-Social Creative Across the Formats You Need

85thAgency can prepare supplied creative for formats used across Meta / Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Where requested, edits can include:

  • Vertical 9:16 versions
  • Square 1:1 versions
  • Portrait / feed 4:5 versions
  • Horizontal 16:9 versions
  • Alternate lengths and cutdowns
  • Burned-in captions for sound-off viewing
  • Safe visual spacing around text and graphics
  • CTA and end-card versions
  • Motion graphics, callouts and price tags
  • Sound design and music
  • Naming conventions for your ad account

Also posting organically?

Pair paid creative with organic short-form

The same footage often works as both an ad and an organic Reel. We can edit both streams with a consistent brand look.

Who it's for

An Editing Team Behind Your Creative Operation

Creative strategists, media buyers and agencies often know exactly what they want to test but do not want their strategy time consumed by editing every variation. 85thAgency can handle the production layer while the strategy and campaign decisions remain with the team closest to the ad account. Brands with their own footage and creative direction use the same service. Agencies can read more about video editing for agencies or white-label delivery.

Turn briefs into finished creative

The team executes supplied concepts rather than requiring the strategist to edit.

Produce variations

Multiple versions can be created from supplied testing directions.

Support multiple accounts

Agencies can submit ads across separate client accounts, each with its own brand guidelines, previous ads, fonts, colors and caption system.

Add editing capacity

A team of 20+ editors provides more production flexibility than relying entirely on one editor.

Book a Discovery Call

Keep strategy with your team — we handle the production layer.

Capacity

More Creative Without Building Another Editing Department

Because 85thAgency is supported by a team of 20+ editors, ad production is not limited to the availability of one freelancer. Editing capacity can increase when campaigns, accounts or creative volume increase. Smaller recurring ad-editing needs are equally suitable for the service.

Paid creative should not force every client into one visual template. 85thAgency can work from separate brand guidelines, previous ads, references, fonts, colors, caption systems and editing directions across different accounts.

Scope

Video Ad Editing, Not Media Buying

85thAgency specializes in producing the video creative. We can execute supplied briefs, hooks, footage and creative directions, but the client or their advertising partner remains responsible for campaign setup, audience targeting, budget allocation, testing decisions and performance analysis.

Iteration workflow

  4. 04

    Next round

    Tell us which directions you want next and we produce the new versions, within a guaranteed 24–48 hour turnaround.
