Video dominates Legion's creative mix
Legion's Facebook and Instagram strategy leans heavily toward video content, which makes up the majority of its active ad portfolio. The remaining share consists of static image ads, suggesting the brand has found video more effective for demonstrating supplement benefits and building trust with its audience.
Scientific credibility paired with urgency drives the message

This approach appears designed to overcome supplement skepticism while creating purchase urgency. Premium quality messaging paired with scarcity and risk reversal represents the second-most-used angle, indicating Legion doubles down on trust-building alongside promotional pressure.

Legion's ads stay live for extended periods, with the median campaign running for roughly two weeks and the average stretching to nearly a month. The longest-running ad, featuring a buy-one-get-one offer, remained active for nearly two months, suggesting Legion tests durability and lets winning creative run until performance drops.

The median funnel scores at the midpoint of the scale, while the strongest ad achieves a score near the top, indicating room for optimization across the portfolio.
