COMPETITIVE CREATIVE RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Understand the creative choices other brands are making.

Help marketers review publicly available competitor ads and organize observations about messages, visuals, and calls to action into a readable report. Keep findings connected to their sources, follow access and reuse rules, distinguish observable details from interpretation, and have a person verify the analysis before sharing or acting on it.

The handoff

A reviewed set of public ad examples with source context and creative observations ready for a marketer.

Keep in mind

Public ads do not establish campaign performance, intended audience, or business results, and images or video may have reuse restrictions. Respect access and usage terms, avoid collecting personal viewer information or making unsupported targeting inferences, and have a marketer verify claims and approve the report’s audience before sharing.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose public sources and review scope

Specify competitors, pages, dates, and research questions, and exclude material that is not openly available for the intended review.

Set responsible research boundaries

Respect source terms and reuse rights, and avoid personal viewer data or unsupported claims about audience targeting.

Define observation and evidence standards

Decide how to cite examples, separate visible creative elements from interpretation, and state limits on conclusions.

Assign report reviewers and recipients

Name who verifies examples, approves findings, and confirms the intended audience before a report is shared.
