Why this works

Most B2B ad tests are underpowered because teams test copy while showing nearly identical visuals. This workflow separates visual angles, formats, and proof styles so the campaign tests real creative differences. Magnific generates and polishes visual material, Canva keeps the variants on brand, and Foreplay prevents the team from inventing in a vacuum.

Collect creative references by visual angle

1-2 hours

Use Foreplay to collect 30-50 ads from your category, adjacent categories, and strong B2B creative examples. Tag each reference by visual angle: founder face, product screenshot, bold statistic, workflow diagram, customer proof, pain statement, comparison, or abstract concept. The goal is not to copy ads. It is to identify visual patterns worth testing.

Output

A tagged swipe file of visual angles and ad formats for the campaign sprint.

Foreplay

Pro tip

Include ads from outside your category. B2B categories often copy each other so tightly that adjacent categories reveal fresher formats.

Define the creative testing matrix

45 min

Create a matrix with 4-5 visual angles and 4-5 message variants. For example: pain-led statistic, product UI proof, customer outcome, process diagram, and founder POV. Match each angle to a specific buyer objection or campaign promise. This prevents random creative production and gives every variant a job.

Output

A visual testing matrix that defines which variants will be created and why.

Canva

Pro tip

Do not create 20 variants by changing colors. Create 20 variants by changing the visual argument the ad makes.
