USE CASE:

Reading ad activity for Nordic companies

Everything below is about one job: ad activity for Nordic companies, done in a way that survives a list rather than a single lookup. Mamba Labs writes Apify actors for work like this, and Meta Ad Library Monitor is the one that reads Nordic companies.

The situation

Nordic companies and ad activity: one at a time is fine, and a list of them is not. Any ad activity method has to survive this: Nordic companies file, publish and advertise under local rules that no global dataset models properly. On Nordic companies, ad activity rarely catches this: coverage from any vendor drops off a cliff outside the English speaking market. We keep 1 preconfigured task for ad activity on Nordic companies, across 1 tool.

Traditional Search Tools

  • The national company register, for Nordic companies. Free, authoritative, and in its own language.
  • The Meta Ad Library itself. The source everything else reads. Complete for the platforms it covers, and hard to watch weekly across a set of brands.
  • AdSpy, Foreplay or a creative library. Built for media buyers, with search and tagging on top of the same public data. Subscription priced, and worth it if creative research is your job.
  • Being on their retargeting list. Visit the site, wait two days, watch your own feed. Free and unreasonably effective.
  • Search the ad library. Meta publishes every active ad and it is free to search by page. Fifteen minutes per competitor and you see the creative, which no summary of it replaces.
