Every client's competitive feed, decoded.
Research competitor brands on Instagram and TikTok, shortlist creators, and review campaigns across clients, then turn winning patterns into pitch decks and production briefs.
Built for pods that need proof for pitches, retainers, and creative reviews.
- Multi-client research
- Pitch-ready evidence
- Creator shortlists
Manual clip research does not scale across clients
Every new pitch and retainer still starts with another scramble through competitor accounts.
Pitch research from scratch
Each opportunity forces a fresh scroll through competitors instead of a reusable system.
Creative reviews miss the pattern
Hours of feedback still fail to name the hooks and structures that lift performance.
Clients want proof
Screenshots are not a strategy system. Stakeholders expect evidence, not opinions.
One system across every client
Competitor scans, creator shortlists, and pitch takeaways, without starting from a blank tab.
