How to access Creative Insights

  • Click the thumbnail in a report to see the creative preview

​
Each tab on the right covers different info for the creative:

  • Overview - Total spend in your chosen date range and how spend is trending since last week (holding, declining, scaling), launch date, active/inactive status. You'll also see custom tags, AI tags (Meta only) for the creative and AI tasks (Meta only) to analyze or rework it.

  • Performance - ad platform-specific views for going deep in your creative strategy. More info below + check out this video guide.

  • Transcripts - You can copy time-stamped sections (great for keywords) or scroll down and copy the entire transcript.
