How Claude turned 1,256 competitor ads into one creative brief — only 349 survived
aryanXmahajan · x · 2026-11-13
The author shares a Claude-powered ad creative research workflow: 8 Meta Ad Library searches turn 1,256 competitor ads into one evidence-backed creative brief, replacing a $5,000/month creative research retainer.
The pipeline:
- Scan: 8 searches → 863 clean ad records
- Survival check: 1,256 versions → the 349 still running after 30 days (market-validated creative)
- Compare: 245 advertisers → the 14 worth breaking down
- Transcribe: 478 videos → 387 unique scripts
- Break down: each survivor's hook, visual, offer, and CTA
- Brief: patterns distilled into 1 original creative concept
Every claim keeps the original ad, advertiser, and source attached — inspect the evidence instead of trusting an AI guess. The author includes a dashboard, 9 Claude skills, and the full pipeline (gated behind like/reply/DM).
