MARKETING RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Learn from visible creative examples without pretending to know how they performed.

For advertisements and public libraries the marketing team is permitted to review, collect selected examples and prepare notes on messaging, presentation, and possible strengths or weaknesses. Respect access and reuse terms, preserve source references, avoid copying creative work, minimize personal information, and treat ratings as hypotheses rather than actual performance data unless verified metrics are available.

Keep in mind

Visible creative alone does not establish audience targeting, campaign intent, or results. Follow platform terms, preserve attribution, do not reuse another organization’s assets, label judgments as subjective, and have a marketer verify conclusions before using them in a campaign.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document approved access and use terms

Follow source restrictions and collect only examples relevant to the research goal.

Preserve attribution and minimize identifiers

Keep source links while avoiding unnecessary personal or account details.

Separate visible evidence from performance claims

Do not present a creative score as a verified campaign result.

Require a marketing review before reuse

Check originality, factual claims, and applicable advertising requirements.
