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.

The work

The 12 ads Skydo 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 1,692 public Meta ad-library records for Skydo, first seen Jun 11, 2024 through Aug 19, 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 90% 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 8 Banking, Payments & Fintech Apps brands in this library, not an external benchmark.
