USE CASE

Save and Share Winning Ad Creatives

Building a shared library of ad examples is crucial for team alignment and creative inspiration. AdLibrary allows users to save ads to a personal library, organize them into folders, and share them with team members or clients to streamline collaboration.

Who This Is For

This use case is for marketing teams, creative agencies, and media buyers who collaborate on ad creative strategy. It's ideal for creative directors who need to build mood boards, performance marketers who want to share competitor examples with their team, and account managers who need to get creative approval from clients.

The Problem

Collaborating on ad creatives is often a disjointed process. Teams rely on sending screenshots over Slack, pasting links into documents, or building slide decks. This approach is inefficient, difficult to keep organized, and prone to losing valuable context. There's no single source of truth for creative inspiration, leading to miscommunication and a slower creative development cycle.

The Solution

AdLibrary streamlines creative collaboration with its integrated Personal Ad Library and sharing features. Users can build a centralized, organized repository of winning ads directly within the platform. By creating folders for specific campaigns, competitors, or creative angles, teams can maintain a structured swipe file. The ability to share a direct link to an ad—complete with all its data and analytics—ensures that everyone, from copywriters to clients, is looking at the same information, simplifying feedback and approval loops.

Step-by-Step

1
Use AdLibrary's multi-platform search and advanced filters to discover ads relevant to your campaign, competitor, or industry.
2
Click the bookmark icon on any ad creative to save it directly to your personal ad library for future reference.
3
Navigate to your library and create specific folders for different projects, clients, or creative styles. Drag and drop saved ads into the relevant folders to keep your swipe file tidy.
4
Select an ad and use the 'Share' function to generate a unique, shareable link. Send this link to team members or clients via email or chat for feedback and alignment. (Note: Pro plan required for sharing with non-users).

Expected Outcome

By following these steps, your team will establish a streamlined workflow for creative research and collaboration. You will have a perpetually updated, organized swipe file that serves as a single source of truth for ad inspiration and competitor analysis. This leads to faster creative briefings, better team alignment, and ultimately, more effective ad campaigns.

Common Mistakes

  • Saving ads without organizing them into folders, which creates a cluttered library that is difficult to navigate later.
  • Forgetting to use the 'Saved Searches' feature to quickly monitor specific competitors or ad types.
  • Sharing static screenshots instead of using the share link, which loses valuable context like video playback and performance metrics.
