Cross-Platform Creative Quality Audit

Process

Collect creative assets or performance data from active platforms
Read ads/references/platform-specs.md for creative specifications
Read ads/references/benchmarks.md for CTR/engagement benchmarks
Read ads/references/scoring-system.md for weighted scoring algorithm
Validate: confirm at least one platform has creative data (assets or performance metrics) before proceeding
Evaluate creative quality per platform
Assess cross-platform creative consistency
Validate: verify fatigue signals reference actual performance trends, not assumptions
Generate production priority recommendations

Andromeda Creative Similarity Score (Meta)

Meta's Andromeda engine (launched October 2025) clusters ads with >60% similarity and suppresses delivery of near-identical creatives. 100 minor variations (color swaps, small text changes) perform no better than 10 genuinely distinct creatives. Evaluate:

Are creatives genuinely diverse in concept, angle, and format?
Flag accounts relying on iterative variations rather than distinct concepts
Recommend testing fundamentally different hooks, formats, and value propositions

Symphony Automation Awareness (TikTok, 2025)

TikTok's Symphony AI (2025) generates creative variations from product URLs. Assess:

Whether account uses AI-generated vs original creatives
Quality and performance comparison of Symphony vs manual creatives
Impact on creative refresh strategy (Symphony can accelerate iteration)

Universal Creative Best Practices

Cross-Platform Safe Zone

900x1000px usable area works across all vertical placements
Keep critical elements centered and within safe margins
Test on mobile devices (75%+ of ad impressions are mobile)

Ad Copy Principles

Lead with benefit, not feature
Include clear CTA (what should they do next?)
Match ad message to landing page (message match)
Use numbers and specifics over vague claims
Test emotional vs rational appeals

Video Production Standards

H.264 codec, AAC audio, MP4 container
Minimum 720p (1080p preferred)
Subtitles/captions always (accessibility + sound-off viewing)
Brand mention within first 5s (awareness) or at CTA (performance)
