Video vs. Static: What Actually Improves Lead Quality on Meta

The Challenge
Creative format is one of the most significant but least systematically tested variables in Meta Ads performance. We designed a controlled experiment: does a professionally produced voice-over video produce meaningfully better lead quality than standard ad formats?
Our Solution
We sourced native-accent voice talent and paired it with custom animation. The ad ran across all Meta placements - Feed, Stories, Reels - to capture data across formats. All other variables were held constant to isolate the creative format effect.
The Results
Lead quality was measurably higher than in previous campaigns using static formats. The 45-54 age bracket significantly outperformed all other groups on cost per result - a finding that now directly informs audience strategy for B2B paid social campaigns.
