• Creative Formula vs Creative Skin: The Key Distinction The creative formula is the ad's reusable structural recipe. The skin is the swappable surface — product, brand, wording. Preserve one, swap the other.
• Fully Prescriptive Production Briefs for AI-Assisted Content Teams When AI makes production cheap, creative decisions become the bottleneck. Brief format with final copy, slot tables, hook triplets, and an asset-source column — from a real 120-creative batch.
• Human-Anchored AI Multiplication: Why Repurposing Beats Generation The market uses AI as a creator; the data says it's an amplifier. The evidence for multiplying human-shot creative instead of generating from scratch — counter-findings included.
• AI Ad Generation vs AI Ad Reverse-Engineering: The Key Difference AI ad generation starts from a text prompt. Reverse-engineering starts from a proven winning ad and inherits its formula. Output quality differs.
• AI Creative Reverse-Engineering: Definition and Method AI creative reverse-engineering deconstructs a winning ad's formula — composition, lighting, palette, copy — into a reusable template for your product.
• AI Creative Reverse-Engineering: The Complete Methodology The full methodology — from competitor-ad selection to deconstructed template to 5 ready-to-test variations. Six phases, concrete craft, case study.
• AI Reverse-Engineering vs Traditional Creative Briefs Reverse-engineering anchors on proven winners and cuts cost 5-10x. Creative briefs still win for new categories, big-idea campaigns, and brand-defining work.
• Can AI Really Reverse-Engineer a Competitor's Ad? Honest Answer. Yes — AI reliably reverse-engineers a competitor ad's structural formula. It can't clone the product, and shouldn't. Here's the distinction.
• Ethics of Reverse-Engineering a Competitor's Ad Legal is one question, ethical is another. Practitioner ethics around client disclosure, competitor relationships, attribution, and craft vs laziness.
• From One Ad to Ten Variations: The Template-Casting Workflow Six steps from deconstructed reference to five structured variations. Each variation with its own testing hypothesis. Image prompt + native copy as the output.
• How Long Does It Take to Reverse-Engineer a Competitor's Ad? 45-90 minutes for the first ad, 15-20 minutes once you have a template. A full 5-variation batch with image prompts and localized copy takes 45 minutes total.
• Surface vs Structural Mimicry in Ad Reverse-Engineering Surface mimicry copies the look — product, setting, colors. Structural mimicry copies the formula — composition, lighting, framing. Only one transfers.
• When NOT to Reverse-Engineer a Competitor's Ad Five situations where reverse-engineering produces worse output — new categories, thin references, audience mismatch, legal sensitivity, brand differentiation.
• Scenario Compiler — Unit-to-Production-Package Compiler for Ad Creative AI skill that turns a signed-off research unit into a fully prescriptive production package: 3+3 cards × 3 hook mechanisms, slot tables, asset-source routing, deduped shotlist.
• AI Product Video Without Wrecking the Product — The Composite + Keyframe Method How to produce high-fidelity AI product video for reflective, fine-detail products (jewelry, watches, packaging): composite the real product photo, let AI generate only the environment, and animate with first-last-frame keyframing instead of single-frame image-to-video. The two moves that stop the model hallucinating the one thing that has to stay exact.
• Reference-Image Conditioning — Show, Don't Tell, the AI Aesthetic Controlling AI image/video aesthetics by feeding reference images (composition, palette, structure, style) instead of writing descriptive prose. Covers what each reference slot controls, the main tools (Midjourney sref/cref/cw, Flux Kontext, Soul guided generation), when reference beats prose and when it doesn't — and the brand-coherence move: feeding the client's own assets so the output looks like them.
• Creative Reverse Engineering — Extracting Structural Patterns from Competitor Ads The systematic discipline of deconstructing competitor ad creative to extract reusable structural patterns — composition, lighting, focal hierarchy, copy skeleton — without copying the brand-specific skin. The 2026 vision-LLM stack (Claude + GPT-4o + Foreplay / Atria / Motion + Meta Ad Library) compressed what used to be an art-director consulting engagement into an afternoon. Pattern extraction across many examples is the load-bearing move; single-ad deconstruction underperforms.
• Focal Hierarchy in Ad Design: What It Is and How It Works Focal hierarchy is the ordering of visual elements so the viewer's eye lands on them in sequence — product first, supporting cue second, CTA third.
• Lighting Recipe in Ad Photography: Definition and Why It Matters A lighting recipe specifies key direction, fill, rim, color temperature, and contrast. It's the highest-leverage transferable element in ad creative.
• Product Framing Archetypes: The 8 Patterns Every Marketer Knows A framing archetype is a reusable way of staging a product in an ad — hero, lifestyle, macro, levitation, flatlay, hand-held, before/after, founder-selfie.
• Ad Alchemy — AI-Assisted Creative Reverse Engineering Case study: Building a Claude skill that reverse-engineers competitor ads into reusable creative formulas for your own brand
• Experiment: Piggybacking Competitor Ad Concepts with AI Testing whether AI can extract reusable formulas from competitor ads and apply them to a new brand — fitme.lt learning from Tastier
