Static vs Video Ads: The 2025 ROI Data Surprise

For years, gurus have screamed: "VIDEO IS KING!"

But in 2025, the tide is turning. With TikTok introducing "Image Mode" and Instagram pushing carousels, static images are seeing a massive resurgence.

The Data (Based on $5M Spend)

  • CPM: Static ads are 40% cheaper than video.
  • Production Cost: $0 (AI) vs $500+ (UGC/Video).
  • Testing Speed: You can test 10 images in the time it takes to edit 1 video.

Why Static is Winning

Attention spans are shorter than ever. A static image communicates the value proposition in 0.1 seconds. A video takes 3-5 seconds to get to the point.

The Strategy: "Static to Validate, Video to Scale"

Don't waste money on video production until you've proven the concept with a static image.
