Detect and Fix Creative Fatigue

Use MCP360 to identify fatigued ad creatives and plan replacements before ROAS drops.

What is Creative Fatigue?

Creative fatigue occurs when your target audience has seen your ad so many times that engagement drops and costs rise. Signs include:

Frequency above 3.5 (on Meta)

CTR declining week-over-week

CPA increasing despite stable targeting

ROAS dropping with unchanged budgets

Detecting Fatigue with MCP360

Run this prompt:

Check all my active Meta and TikTok ads for creative fatigue.
For each ad, show:
- Current frequency (Meta) or watch rate (TikTok)
- CTR trend (last 7 vs previous 7 days)
- CPA trend (same comparison)
- Whether it's showing signs of fatigue (yes/no)

Flag any creatives that should be replaced within 7 days.

Planning Creative Replacements

Once you've identified fatigued creatives:

For each fatigued creative you identified, suggest:
1. What type of creative format to test next (video/image/carousel)
2. What messaging angle to try (problem/solution, social proof, discount, UGC)
3. What audience targeting to maintain vs test new audiences on

Setting Up Fatigue Alerts

Typical Creative Refresh Timeline

**Meta Ads:** Refresh after 3-4 weeks (frequency 3+)

**TikTok:** Refresh every 2-3 weeks (faster fatigue)

**Google Display:** Refresh every 4-6 weeks

**LinkedIn:** Every 4-8 weeks (smaller audiences = faster fatigue)
