Run a LinkedIn competitor analysis on the ads your buyers already see
DemandSense reads up to a year of your competitors' LinkedIn ads and sends back a report on which creatives they keep paying to run and how your own messaging compares.
Everyone watches their competitors' ads. Almost nobody knows which ones work.
"Running" and "working" look identical
Ad libraries show what's live, and live is a low bar. A creative funded for six straight months and one killed after a week sit in the same grid, styled the same. The date math that separates them is exactly the part nobody does by hand.
The pattern hides across fifty creatives
A competitor's core angle rarely lives in one ad. It shows up as a dozen variations spread across months. Read one at a time, they're a dozen unrelated ads. Laid out across a year, they're a strategy you can counter.
The homemade tracker dies by month two
The screenshots folder, the swipe file, the Friday reminder, the pinned tab. Every marketer builds a version, and it goes stale by the next sprint because it depends on one person spending their evenings checking brand pages.
Your buyer already scores you side by side
Your ad renders two thumbs above a competitor's, in the same feed, on the same morning. That comparison decides who gets the click, and it happens hundreds of times a day without you ever seeing the matchup.
One free report answers what the scroll can't: which of their ads keep earning budget, which angles are exhausted, where your ads land in the lineup, and what to test first.
A LinkedIn competitor analysis that reads a year of their ads in one pass
You name the competitors. The report reads up to twelve months of their LinkedIn ads and comes back with four things: the creatives that keep earning, the angles already worn out, your ads scored against theirs, and the tests worth running next.
Find the ads they've quietly funded for months
Budget is the only honest signal in advertising. When a creative stays live from March to October, someone kept approving the spend behind it. The report pulls every creative your competitor ran in the last year and shows which ones survived, week by week.
- A year of their creatives in one grid, the retired ones included
- Run length on every ad, so a nine-day test stops passing for a winner
- Their launch rhythm: when they ship, how often, and how long an ad typically lives
- Hook, image, and CTA edits caught between versions of the same ad
218 creatives across two competitors in one sample report.
Learn which angles are crowded before you write your next hook
Every category converges on the same three or four promises until buyers stop reading any of them. The report grades every theme across you and each competitor, so you see the crowded ground and the open ground before you brief a single creative.
- A theme grid across every brand you name, graded from heavily used to absent
- The angles no competitor has claimed, which is where a new hook gets read
- Where your positioning matches the category default, and what that blending costs
Themes are graded across every brand in the report, yours included.
Get your own ads scored the way your buyer reads them
Your buyer never sees your ad alone. It renders between two competitors in the same scroll, on the same morning. The report puts your ads in that exact lineup and scores every brand on the same six dimensions your buyer weighs without knowing it.
- Six scores per brand: value proposition, tone, proof, calls to action, visual style, content mix
- A plain-English readout of what each brand is selling and what it leaves unclaimed
- One paragraph naming the edge only you can claim
You get graded on the same scale as every competitor in the report.
Walk into your next creative review with the tests already picked
Analysis you can't act on becomes a tab you close. The last pages convert everything above into named plays: the position worth defending, the proof worth adding, the audience worth a test, and the competitor claim you can answer with something they can't copy.
- Named plays with the reasoning spelled out under each one
- The specific competitor strength worth attacking, and the angle to attack from
- Formatted to drop straight into a creative review or a sprint plan
The sample report closes with five moves, each specific to that category.
Trade two form fields for a year of their ad decisions
Drop in your website, name the brands you compete with, and go back to work. In about 30 minutes the report is in your inbox: the ads they keep funding, the angles that are crowded, your scores in the lineup, and the tests worth running first. No ad account connected, nothing installed.
