BigSpy

Freemium

BigSpy is an advertising creative database that aggregates searchable examples from multiple social and digital platforms. Users can filter ads by network, country, language, format, industry, engagement, call to action, dates, and advertiser signals, then save examples for competitor research or creative ideation. It is useful for performance marketers and ecommerce teams that need broad inspiration quickly, but observed engagement and estimated popularity do not reveal true spend, targeting, conversion quality, or whether a copied concept will work for another brand.

Concepts behind this tool

Competitive Ad Intelligence

Competitive ad intelligence is the practice of monitoring competitors' ad creatives, spend, and placement strategy to inform your own campaigns.

UGC Ads

UGC ads are paid advertisements that use content styled like authentic user-generated material — informal video, real testimonials, or lo-fi imagery — to achieve higher engagement and lower viewer skepticism than polished brand creative.

AI-Generated Creative

AI-generated creative uses generative AI models to produce ad images, copy, or video at scale, with compliance implications for disclosure and copyright that are evolving rapidly.

Hook Rate

Hook rate is the percentage of people who watch the first 3 seconds of a video ad, used as a leading indicator of whether the opening moment is compelling enough to stop the scroll.

LinkedIn Ads Library

LinkedIn Ads Library is LinkedIn's public transparency database for reviewing advertisements shown on its professional network. Users can search by advertiser, payer, keyword, country, and date, then inspect creative, copy, format, impression ranges, targeting details, and other disclosures available for each ad without needing an advertising account. It is useful for B2B marketers, researchers, and compliance teams studying active messaging or competitor patterns, although it does not provide campaign performance, spend, or conversion results.

Pinterest Trends

Pinterest Trends is Pinterest's public research tool for exploring how search and engagement interest changes across topics, keywords, demographics, and regions. It visualizes historical patterns, seasonality, related terms, and emerging ideas, with shopping-focused views available in supported markets to help teams understand when audiences begin planning. It is most useful for creative strategists, content planners, and advertisers in visual categories who need to time campaigns and shape concepts around demonstrated Pinterest behavior rather than broad web search demand.

Snapchat Trends

Snapchat Trends is Snap's public trend discovery surface for examining popular words, phrases, and themes appearing within public Snapchat content. It can help marketers compare relative interest, review example Snaps, and identify language or cultural signals associated with Snapchat's audience, though access and available views may vary by market and product changes. It is best used as directional creative research alongside current Snap audience insights, campaign data, and broader cultural analysis rather than as a standalone forecasting or measurement platform.
