See which ad creative is actually working, and why.
Motion is creative analytics for paid social. It connects to your Meta, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn ad accounts and reorganises the data around the creative rather than the campaign, so instead of a spreadsheet of ad set IDs you get a visual board of thumbnails with ROAS, CPA, spend and hook rate attached to each one. From there you can tag assets by concept, format, hook, offer or talent and compare performance across those dimensions, which is how you find out that the UGC testimonial format beats the product demo rather than just that one ad did well. Fatigue curves show when a winning creative is decaying so you refresh it before it drags the account down. Reporting is the other half: custom creative reports you can schedule and deliver into Slack or as a shared link, which removes the weekly deck an agency would otherwise build by hand.
Easily the clearest way to see creative performance if paid social is where your budget goes. The shift from campaign-level rows to a visual board of creatives sounds cosmetic and is not: it changes what you notice, and the tagging system is what turns one-off winners into a repeatable creative brief. Fatigue curves alone justify it for anyone who has watched a hero ad quietly rot. The automated creative reports save agencies a real day a week. The thing to be honest about is price: this is tiered to ad spend and sits well above a normal SaaS subscription, so it only makes sense once creative decisions are moving serious money. Published figures also vary by source, so get a current quote. Below a certain spend, the native platform reporting will do.
Best for: Performance teams and agencies spending meaningfully on paid social who need to know which creative concepts work, and to report that back to a client or a board every week.
Pricing: From $250/mo, tiered to ad spend (Paid)
