The Creatives tool shows a catalog of your competitor's display ads across all of their campaigns, by publisher posting their ad, or by ad network driving them. These insights will give you an outline of any company's display tactics and strategy for this channel.
Insights on Creatives provide an understanding of the ad format, brand messaging and ad copy being used by competitors across their digital ad campaigns. Understand what elements are working best for your competitor set and apply those elements to your own display strategy.
Using the filters, you can view creatives by Campaign, Publisher, or Ad Network. Use this information to help:
-
pinpoint creatives being used in specific campaigns
-
understand which publishers the creatives originated on
-
uncover the ad networks they are associated with
