The Algorithm Doesn’t Hate You. Your Creative’s Just Mid.

August 22, 20253 min read

It's a common refrain in digital marketing: "The algorithm is punishing my posts." or "My ads just aren't getting seen." While it’s easy to blame an ever-changing algorithm for your marketing woes, the harsh truth is that the algorithm doesn't hate you. Your creative's just mid.

The algorithm's only job is to show the most relevant, engaging content to its users. If your ads, posts, and messaging are bland, generic, or uninspired, the algorithm isn't "punishing" you—it's just doing its job by prioritizing content that's more interesting and valuable. At Market Minds Creative, we believe that great content + the right platform = results, and we’ll show you how to create the kind of content that the algorithm loves.

The Cost of Mediocre Creative

Mediocre creative is like a leaky funnel at the very top. It’s a waste of every dollar you spend on paid ads, and it turns organic efforts into empty gestures. The perils of "mid" creative include:

  • Zero Engagement: Your audience swipes fast, and if your ad doesn’t immediately catch their attention, you’ve lost them.

  • Wasted Ad Budget: You’re running ads without a real strategy, which is just gambling with WiFi. A boring ad that no one clicks on is a surefire way to burn through your budget without a single conversion.

  • A Confusing Customer Journey: Even if someone clicks, if your offer isn’t clear enough, you’re missing sales. Your ad creative and your website's landing page must be perfectly aligned.

  • Lack of Brand Authority: Generic creative fails to position your brand as an expert or a leader. You're just another passing impression, not a brand that gets remembered. To grow, you need to build authority with every impression.

Your audience isn't looking for another ad; they're looking for content that entertains, informs, or solves a problem. It's time to stop making excuses and start creating a marketing strategy that is as bold as your brand.
