Other categories
Every figure is a count from the analysed creatives, not an estimate. There is no spend, impression or performance data in the source and none is inferred. Hook type, offer, emotional appeal and creative category are model-assigned classifications rather than platform-reported fields, and each chart above states the share of the category's ads that carried the field it draws. Category totals are the sum of the 6 advertisers with a page in this library, not of every advertiser in the category.
