Languages it advertises in
Content language of the ad, as classified on each creative.
How much it ships
New ads first seen each month. Output fell in the most recent month on record.
New ads per month
Ads counted in the month they were first seen, so a spike is new work rather than continued spend.
Of those, still running
How much of each month's output is still in market. A rising tail means recent work survived.
How long an ad lasts
The typical Prime Video ad runs 136 days from first to last sighting. Longevity is how creative fatigue shows up in public data: neither it nor reuse is a performance metric.

What it is trying to do
The source carries no funnel stage. It does carry a coarser read on each ad's intent, and only on some of them.
Performance against brand
Whether the ad chases a conversion or builds awareness. Model-assigned, and only on the ads that carried it.
Based on the 86% of 218 ads that carried this field.
The work
The 12 ads Prime Video reused most, deduplicated by content hash so the same artwork never appears twice. The most-reused creative is the only signal of consequence the source carries: nothing here is a performance ranking, because no spend, impression or click data exists in a public ad library.

This is a slice of what Hawky sees
This page is built from public ad-library records alone. Hawky's Competitor Analysis runs the same read across every advertiser in a category, refreshed continuously, alongside the account's own performance, which is the half no public library contains.
How this was built
Counted from 218 public Meta ad-library records for Prime Video, first seen Jun 12, 2020 through Aug 8, 2026. Counts include dynamic product, dynamic creative and catalogue ads, so a filtered dashboard view will report fewer.
There is no spend, impression, click or conversion data here, because public ad libraries do not carry any and none can be inferred. Creative category, hook type, emotional appeal and intent are model-assigned classifications, not fields the platform reports. Where a classification covers only part of the library, the share is stated next to the chart.
“Reused” counts a creative that ran under more than one ad. Run length is the gap between an ad's first and last sighting, over the 83% of records carrying both dates. Paid collaboration is counted from the presence of a creator page on the ad; no creator is named.
Every comparison here is computed against the 6 Media, Streaming & Audio brands in this library, not an external benchmark.
