About Ascend Bible

Ascend makes growing in faith accessible, engaging and effective by providing personalized Bible study experiences that meet believers wherever they are in their spiritual journey. The founding duo launched in January 25 and started their paid marketing with Superscale to ensure their content reaches the right audience with strong performance.

"It only takes a minute to create. Sure, I sometimes tweak small things like voice energy, but honestly, it’s 100% better than searching for UGC creators on Fiverr. In fact, these ads even outperformed the ambassador content I was running before."

The challenge

Reaching faith-based audiences on TikTok isn’t easy. The Bible niche comes with sky-high CPMs, and while a few creatives had viral potential, organic traction quickly fell flat; comments calling out “AI content” and TikTok’s fast-scroll culture made it nearly impossible to sustain results.

Long-form talking ads were the only format that worked, but they came with a heavy price tag: higher creator costs, longer production cycles, and constant content management. Ascend needed a smarter way to keep the power of long-form ads, while cutting down cost, time, and complexity.

How they used Superscale

The team turned to Superscale for both organic TikTok and paid Meta ads, where performance was strongest. Within the first 30 ads, 20% became winning creatives. By tapping into Superscale’s 300+ characters, 20+ languages, and effortless duplication, they scaled fast with just small tweaks like swapping characters.

Superscale’s AI UGC solution made high-quality, scalable content simple, and solved their cost and time challenge. From a single base idea, the team could generate multiple on-brand variants: Swapping hooks, lines, b-roll, characters, and captions, then exporting instantly. Longer speaking-character ads were pushed live on Meta the same day, delivering immediate results in both cost efficiency and user growth.

Ascend quickly realized that organic TikTok required a different approach. What worked on Meta, longer talking ads, didn’t translate to TikTok’s fast-paced algorithm. With Superscale, they covered both: instantly generating shorter, hook-driven demo ads for TikTok, creating up to five at a time, and scaling speaking-character ads for Meta.
