How do I learn from a competitor ad without copying it?
Analyze the function of each beat—opening, setup, proof, objection, offer, and close—rather than tracing its lines or visual signatures. Move the structural lesson into your own product truth, audience tension, references, and voice before writing a new brief.
What context should I bring first?
Start with a competitor ad you are allowed to analyze and the public context around its offer. Then add your own audience, product truth, positioning, and creative boundaries.
