First-time founder: “This agency is hilarious. Their ads must be great.”
Third-time founder: “Show me how you test creative, measure CAC, and decide which ads to scale.”
Great advertising needs creativity and analytical discipline.
At Valid, we bring both.

It costs Valid.co $50 to generated a 60 second ad using AI models.
If you used the first take from seedance 2.0, 60 seconds of AI video costs about $18.
But at Valid.co, we don't just put out AI videos, we make AI ads that convert.
So on average, we are generating ~ 150 seconds of footage for a 60 second ad. Nearly 3x.
Thats how we continue to drive value for our partners, as the only AI-first advertising agency.
We've approved the first 10 for our Consumer Poker Event next week (10/28) at our SF office.
Only 15 spots left.
Someone is taking home the Meta Ray Ban Gen 3s.
If you are building the next big thing for consumers, it could be you 😎

As a builder in the AI video space, I was terrified about how much markup API providers charge for simply routing the models.
Higgsfield API adds a 40% markup even with its maximum advertised discount. Fal adds 100%. Runway adds 414% (Seedance 2 480p)
I might be hated by the industry, but :
Today, we’re launching Sume API, the first image & video model provider with 0% markup.
For example with Seedance 2.5 1080p
• 50% cheaper than fal
• 50% cheaper than higgsfield api (29% even with biggest discount)
• 28.02% cheaper than kie ai
The routing infrastructure layer is never the moat. We believe that APIs should be commoditized, and the moats will be built at the application layer.
Check the pricing comparisons below, and see how the broken industry is saved.

At Valid, we’ve seen firsthand how much AI can multiply an individual’s impact and output.
However, it's important to remember that AI only enhances existing creativity.
It is not a replacement for the feel, taste, and judgement required in the creative process.
What's the most unique way you’ve used AI to boost your own creativity?
Most ads were slop long before AI showed up.
AI only made it faster to ship a bad ad, but slop has always existed in content & advertising.
The tool doesn't decide whether an ad is good. The person using it does.
When we see an impressive AI generated creative we say; “that's valid” :)
Agree or disagree?

AI ads are where it’s at 💪
holy f*ck this AI cartoon haircare ad got 9.7M views
→ a cosmetics brand with 312K followers
→ 146K likes on the reel
→ the cartoon format repeated across its ads
it’s hillary cosmetics
a woman applies their hair serum and her hair grows
then a hairless cat tries it and gets a full head of hair too
it looks like a scene from an animated movie, and you can follow the whole thing without dialogue
the product’s whole pitch becomes the joke: even the hairless cat wants it
for your next AI cartoon ad:
→ turn a product benefit into a short animated scene
→ use exaggerated expressions and physical comedy to tell the story
→ finish with your product reveal
keep the characters and test new situations across your catalog
save this and make your first episode

Creativity can be engineered.
This is the exact process we use to make hundreds of ads a week.
What should we add to our flow?
