Most ads fail, and thatâs okay. Itâs just how the system works.
How do we know? đ
We analyzed 550,000+ ads from thousands of real advertisers, representing roughly $1.3 billion in spend, and answered the questions creative teams ask every day:
1ď¸âŁ How many ads are top brands actually launching?
2ď¸âŁ What does an average hit rate look like?
3ď¸âŁ Which formats are winning?
All broken down by industry AND spend tier, so you can benchmark against accounts your size. đ¤Ż

Watch me critique a âBehind the Scenesâ Meta ad that ran for 95 days đ§
Hereâs what I noticed đ
A curiosity-driven hook that works. "Wanna see real dog food?" implies that most dog food isn't real and makes you wonder what the heck you've been feeding your dog. Now you have to keep watching to find out.
Objection-busting, or... lack thereof. There was a misalignment between the voiceover and the visuals where the script said "real food nutrition" but the visual showed corn, which triggered an objection that was never addressed.
Positioning against a "shared enemy" is excellent psychological lever. They called out "no palatants" and "no meat meals", but I don't know what they mean, and top of funnel audiences probably won't either. If the viewer doesn't understand the shared enemy, they can't fear it.
An opportunity to showcase more behind-the-scenes moments. The ad talked about expert formulation but showed a salesman, mentioned personalized portions but didn't show the portioning, and referenced an Aussie team but didn't show any faces.
A really strong hook, buried all the way at the end. "We want dogs to be living twice as long, and we're working on it" isn't a supporting claim, it's a really emotional statement that you could build dozens of ads around.
What do you think? Did I miss anything?
