One of the easiest ways to improve your video ads isn’t guessing — it’s spying.
Before you plan, shoot, or edit anything, you should know what kind of video content is already working in your market.
And the best place to start? Your competitors’ ads.
No need for shady tactics — this is completely public, legit, and wildly useful.
Why Spying Works
Looking at other businesses’ video ads gives you two key advantages:
-
Clarity: You see what messaging, styles, and formats are trending.
-
Direction: You can better brief your own team (or us!) on what type of video you’re aiming for.
This shortcut saves time, helps avoid guesswork, and makes your next video more effective from the start.
