Ad Format: Equal Split Between Video and Image
Graza divides its Facebook and Instagram creative evenly between video and static image ads. This balanced approach suggests the brand tests both formats to understand which resonates with its audience across different placements and user behaviors. Neither format dominates, indicating confidence in both as viable channels for reaching food-conscious consumers.
Campaign Duration: Sustained, Long-Running Pushes
The typical Graza ad runs for roughly a month, with many campaigns extending well beyond that window. The longest-running ad, promoting Costco availability, stayed live for an extended period, suggesting strong performance or strategic importance. This pattern indicates Graza favors sustained campaigns over rapid iteration, allowing time to accumulate data and ROI before refreshing creative.
Messaging Strategy: Premium Ingredients as Core Angle
The majority of Graza's ad angles emphasize premium ingredient quality, real olive oil, and health-conscious positioning. Multiple ads highlight the Costco partnership and the use of pure extra virgin olive oil as differentiators. This consistency across messaging suggests the brand has identified ingredient authenticity as its strongest value proposition with its target audience.
Funnel Performance: Moderate Conversion Signals
Most ads that were scored showed middling performance on the conversion rubric, with the highest-scoring ads reaching the upper range. This suggests Graza's creative is functional but leaves room for optimization in messaging, targeting, or design elements that drive stronger downstream actions.
