Catch ad fatigue before the CPA does.
Patricia watches your Meta and TikTok creatives for the early signs of fatigue, rising frequency, falling CTR, drifting CPA, and flags the ones to refresh before they quietly bleed budget. Then she drafts the next brief so the replacement is already moving.
📉 Fatigue watch on Marigold: the hero prospecting ad is tiring.
- Frequency up to 4.3, CTR down 31% over 10 days, CPA up 22%
- Still your top spender, so this is costing real money now
- The 'barrier repair' UGC angle is holding best of the current set
@Pati draft a refresh brief off the barrier-repair angle and cap the tired ad's budget.
Done. The tired ad is capped so it stops bleeding, and a refresh brief built on the barrier-repair angle, three UGC hooks and two statics, is in the Marigold project for the studio. Want me to line up a matching TikTok cut too?
The old way
How agencies do this today.
Everyone knows creative fatigues. Catching it in time means staring at frequency charts nobody has time to stare at.
The winner that quietly died
The hero ad carried the account for weeks, then frequency crept up, CTR slid, and CPA drifted, and nobody caught it until the month came in soft.
The refresh that started too late
By the time someone noticed the fatigue, there was no new creative ready, so the account limped for two weeks on tired ads.
The spreadsheet nobody keeps
Tracking frequency and CTR decay by hand across every ad set is a job in itself, so it slips, and the fatigue goes unseen.
Inside Patricia
What it looks like when she owns it.
Setup
Running in minutes, then it's hers.
Step 1
Add Patricia to Slack
She joins your workspace like any teammate. Two minutes, no engineering.
Step 2
Connect Meta and TikTok
So she can read frequency, CTR and CPA per ad set and per creative, straight from the account.
Step 3
Set the fatigue thresholds
The frequency, CTR decay and CPA drift worth a flag. She learns what healthy looks like for each account.
Step 4
She flags and drafts
The moment an ad tires she posts the metrics, caps it on your OK, and drafts the refresh brief so the replacement is already moving.
Creative refresh
What she takes off your plate.
Real behavior of the skill, not a feature list.
Reads fatigue from live numbers
Frequency, CTR decay and CPA drift per creative, checked daily, so a tiring winner is caught early instead of at month end.
Knows what is actually costing you
She weights the flag by spend, so the tired ad eating the most budget is the one she surfaces first, not a rounding error.
Drafts the refresh, not just the alert
A brief built on the angle that is holding best, with hooks and formats, so the replacement is in motion before the old one dies.
Caps the bleed on your OK
She can throttle or pause the fatiguing ad so it stops wasting budget while the refresh is produced.
Spots the angle that still works
Across the set she flags which hook or angle is holding, so the next round builds on a winner instead of guessing.
No frequency spreadsheet
Fatigue tracking is one thing Patricia does, not a manual sheet that slips the week you need it most.

FAQ
Creative refresh, answered.
How does Patricia know an ad is fatiguing?
She reads frequency, CTR and CPA per creative from Meta and TikTok and watches the trend. When frequency climbs and CTR falls while CPA drifts up, past the thresholds you set, she flags it as fatigue with the numbers.
Does she just alert, or help fix it?
Both. She caps the tired ad on your OK so it stops bleeding budget, and drafts the refresh brief built on the angle that is holding best, so the replacement is already moving.
Will it flag every tiny wobble?
No. She weights by spend and uses your thresholds, so she surfaces the tiring ad that is actually costing money, not every minor dip.
Which channels does she watch?
Meta and TikTok, per ad set and per creative. Connect the accounts once and she watches fatigue across all of it for each client.
Is this all Patricia does?
No. Creative refresh is one job. The same teammate handles competitor monitoring, client reporting, and the rest of the work agencies hand her, all in the same Slack.
