Ad creative that doesn't read as an ad.

I'm Simas, a trained on-camera actor making UGC video ads for DTC brands. Every concept ships with three hook variations, so you get something to test rather than a single asset that either works or doesn't.

Selected work

Same ad.
Different first three seconds.

The first three seconds decide whether an ad gets watched. Switch the opening on any piece below — same body footage, different hook. That's what you'd actually be testing.

01 — Home fitness

Demo-led, movement in frame

Problem, agitate, solve, carried by movement rather than talk. Voiceover runs continuous underneath while the picture cuts between four exercises. Movement in the first second, which is native on both TikTok and Reels.

Openings

No gym, no rack, no machines. One of these.

02 — Supplements

Problem-solution testimonial

Sceptic-to-convert structure. Opens on wasted spend, lands on one specific, believable result. Shot in a real kitchen, not a set.

Openings

I wasted about a year of training before someone told me this.

03 — App / subscription

Screen recording over talent

On-camera delivery cut over a vertical screen capture, continuous audio underneath so the voice never breaks. Useful when the product is a screen.

Openings

I was losing clients to email ping-pong and didn't even realise it.

04 — Skincare

Routine format, texture-led

Built for the buyer who thinks skincare is overcomplicated. Three steps, close-up product texture, no ten-step routine.

Openings

Three products. Sixty seconds. That's the entire routine.

What you get

Ready to run, not ready to edit.

Formats

Five that convert

Testimonial, demo, routine, unboxing, problem-solution. Chosen to fit the product, not the other way round.

Delivery

Platform-native

Vertical 9:16, burned-in captions, edited to feel handheld. Meta, TikTok and Reels ready on arrival.

Testing

Three hooks, always

Each concept comes with three different openings on the same body footage. Test the variable that matters most.

Who's in front of the camera

On camera before I ever made an ad.

I've worked as a professional on-camera actor in film and television, with acting training at University of the Arts London. That's the part most UGC creators are still figuring out: how to deliver a line so it sounds like something a person would actually say.

I also shoot and edit the work myself, so you get clean audio and lighting without the polish that makes an ad look like an ad. Clean production, unpolished delivery. That combination is the whole point.

Based in Lithuania, working with brands across the US, UK and Europe. Fluent English and Lithuanian.

Questions

Before you send anything over.

A single UGC video ad concept costs $250 and includes one 25 to 45 second vertical video with three hook variations and one revision round. A Test Pack of three concepts — nine testable hook variations total — costs $550. Ongoing monthly production starts at $1,400 for five videos plus ten photos per month. All prices are in USD and cover organic usage; paid ad usage is priced separately.
Usage rights determine where you're allowed to run the video. Organic usage — posting on your own social accounts and website — is included with every project, no extra cost. Running it as a paid ad for up to 90 days adds 35% on top of the deliverable price. Perpetual usage and whitelisting through my own creator accounts are quoted separately once I know the scope.
Delivery takes 3 to 5 business days from the moment I have the product in hand and the script is approved. Single and Test Pack both run on this timeline; Monthly clients get priority turnaround on top of the standard 3 to 5 day window. Rush delivery is available on request.
Yes, physical products need to ship to my address in the EU so I can film with the actual item. Transit inside Europe usually takes a few days; from the US, budget closer to a week with customs. The 3 to 5 business day turnaround starts once the product arrives, not from when you place the order. Digital products or apps — screen-recording style ads, for example — don't need shipping at all.
UGC-style ads are shot to look like a real customer's phone footage — handheld framing, natural lighting, unscripted-sounding delivery — so they blend into a feed instead of reading as an advertisement. Brand video is polished, produced content: studio lighting, motion graphics, a produced voiceover, built for a website or commercial spot. My UGC ads are vertical 1080×1920, 25 to 45 seconds, with three hook variations per concept for A/B testing on Meta and TikTok; brand video is typically longer, single-cut, and not built for hook-testing.
Yes. I'm based in Lithuania, GMT+2, and already work with brands in the US, UK and across Europe — everything runs over email, video call and digital file delivery. I reply within 24 hours on weekdays, invoice as a registered EU sole proprietor with VAT handled correctly for cross-border B2B, and deliver finished 1080×1920 MP4 files digitally, so there's no US entity, address or in-person meeting required on your end.
Most advertisers see reliable signal from at least 9 testable creative variations per campaign, which is why the Test Pack is built around three concepts with three hook variations each. Every hook changes only the first three seconds — the part that decides whether an ad gets watched — on the same body footage, so you're isolating the one variable that matters most instead of testing nine unrelated ideas at once.
Edit notes on the cut you already have — recut pacing, swap a line reading, adjust captions, trim length. Single comes with 1 round, Test Pack with 2. It's not a reshoot; if the direction changes entirely, that's a new script.
A vertical 1080×1920 MP4 with captions burned in, ready to upload as-is. A clean version with no captions is available on request if your ad platform adds its own. Every hook variant ships as its own separate file, not one video with jump cuts.
I'm a registered sole proprietor in the EU. You get a proper invoice, VAT handled correctly for cross-border B2B, whatever your setup.
For a first project together, 50% upfront to book the slot and the rest on delivery is standard. Once we've worked together it can move to easier terms.
