Cold nights, clear signals

Find the signal in the forest of ads.

Every brand you follow is a light in the trees. Adspy watches Meta and Google for you, notices what changes, and keeps the notes — so a competitive check takes a minute, not an afternoon.

Sightings

One scope. Every ad on air.

Type a brand, a product or a sector. Everything currently running across Meta and Google shows up in one view — creative, copy, landing page, days running — with nothing to connect and nothing to configure.

Point at anything

A brand, a product, a phrase from the copy. The scope checks names, headlines and ad text, and shows what is on air now beside what ran before.

Turn the dials

Platform, format, live or ended, days on air, language, tags. Sort by newest, longest running or first seen. The view narrows to what you asked for.

A brand we don't have yet

Paste its public ad library page. The station starts collecting, and the brand behaves like any other once the first pass is in.

Three instruments. One clear night.

Most ad libraries show you everything and call it research. We built a small station with a very good scope, a short memory of what changed, and a book to keep the good parts.

Sightings

Point the scope at a brand, a product, a sector. Every live ad appears with creative, copy, landing page and days running. Ended ads one click away, not in the way.

Tracking

Star the brands that matter. Each morning the station compares tonight to last night and reports only what moved: a launch, a new hook, a quiet week.

Logbook

Log a sighting with a note and a tag. Shared pages, exportable to a deck, searchable when the same client comes back six months later.

Analysis

Every creative, read. Not just filed.

The station reads each creative it collects: what the hook does in the first three seconds, the angle, the format, the tone, where the ask lands, and the full transcript. Written to go into a brief, not a scorecard.

The Ordinary149 days on air
meta · video 9:1635 variants
Reading · The Ordinary35 variants · 149 days on air
Hook · 0–3 s
The video opens with a direct, close-up shot of the creator holding two bottles of 'The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner,' with text overlay 'here's the tea on glycolic.'
Angle
The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is a versatile product that can improve facial skin texture, tone, and reduce signs of aging, and also benefit scalp health by hydrating and reducing dryness.
Format
UGC / Organic. The style is distinctly UGC (User Generated Content), featuring a direct-to-camera presentation with natural lighting and a home-like background.
Tone
The voiceover is clear, friendly, and conversational, perfectly matching the UGC style.
Ask
The CTA is not explicit and appears at the very end with the text 'If this isn't your sign to get your hands on it then I don't know what is 😂'. It is visually present but not verbally stated as an action.
Transcript
Here's a tea on glycolic acid. You can use glycolic acid on your face to smooth texture and even skin tone, reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and boost skin luminosity. Plus, you can use glycolic acid on your scalp to hydrate and significantly reduce dryness and achieve an overall healthier looking scalp. If this isn't your sign to get your hands on it, then I don't know what is.

Demonstrate versatile product usage (face and scalp) to broaden appeal and highlight benefits effectively.

Tracking

Lights come on. Lights go out. You hear about both.

A brand launching a burst of variants overnight is a signal. A competitor going dark after months on air is one too. The station reports each, with the creative attached, and stays quiet otherwise.

Public libraries

A library finds an ad. A station keeps the research.

Meta and Google publish what is on air, and that is where our signal comes from too. The difference is everything that happens after you find the ad.

Good to know.

No. Adspy reads the public ad libraries of Meta and Google. You get a scope, not a login form.
