Get creative inspiration on tap with Ad Library

Dial up your creative strategy

Madgicx’s tool, Ad Library, helps you do just that. It enables you to maintain your competitive edge with creative ad ideas on tap that you can use as references for your next ad design. 

By browsing brands and businesses in your niche, you gain insight into the ad creative used by your competitors and what’s on trend. But more importantly, you can use this as inspiration for your ad creation to produce better ads. 

Plus, the Ad Library comes with Madgicx’s AI Ad Generator to quickly turn your ideas into reality. This enables you to create better ads based on ads in your industry or from what you generate with the AI Ad Generator.

Since the post-iOS 14 updates, media buyers know that Meta’s laser targeting capabilities have taken a hit. Lookalike audiences, for example, are now especially limited because they rely on third-party data. 

With that being said, compelling creative is where it’s at if you want your ad to stand out in the digital noise in 2023. Better ads lead to better results. Therefore, staying up to date with how your competitors and industry leaders are designing their ads is critical. 

Furthermore, having access to this information is essential when it comes to briefing in the ad creation process. 

Now, it’s at your fingertips in Madgicx with Ad Library, and creative briefs just got easier 🪄

Let’s take a look at how to use it.

Search for ad inspiration

You can find the Ad Library at the top of the “Creatives” menu.

You’ll see a search box where you can type in the kind of ads you’re looking for by keyword. The “Filter” button and the dropdown menu on the right allow you to sort by the most relevant to your search, newest, and oldest. For ‘Most relevant,’ the algorithm searches both ad copy and Facebook page name and presents you with ads that are most relevant to your search. 

You can also search ads by brand, which is helpful when you want to spy on your competitors and spot new trends 👀

You can follow brands here by clicking on the ⭐ on the right side of the screen.

If you click on the “Filter” button on the Ad Library tab, a new popup appears where you can filter the results further by industry and ad formats like short, medium, and long video, image, or carousel. 

If you click on “Industry,” you can select categories from a list to further filter the ad results.

Click on the “Apply” button to apply your selection.

Now the Ad Library page will only show ads based on your selection so you can start browsing 👀

Save ads you like to boards for later ☝️

See a design you love? Save it to your board!

On the free plan, all users have one default board called “#My favorite ads,” to which they can save an unlimited number of ads. If you upgrade to the Ad Library + AI Ads plan (only $29/month), you can have multiple boards to save ad designs for easy reference. This lets you create collections of ad inspiration to easily brief your designers. 

The Ad Library + AI Ads plan includes the AI Ad Generator, which lets you generate batches of ads based on images you upload, text prompts, or from an ad you like in the Ad Library. You can add comments and share them with your design team or with our experienced digital artists to finalize the design. Then, launch straight from the app 🚀

The paid version is handy for agencies and media buyers managing multiple ad accounts and needing multiple boards - think Pinterest for ad creative! 🤩 #worthit

To save an ad to your board, click the “Save to #My favorite ads” button under the ad or click the arrow to open the dropdown menu to find the board you want to save it to. There, select the board where you want to save this ad and click “Apply.”

You can also click the “Ad Gen AI” button to generate a batch of ads based on that ad. It will open up the prompt window where you can type more details about what you want in your ad.

You can also click on the ad so that the popup with the ad details appears. At the top right of the screen, you’ll find a dropdown menu where you can choose your board to save it there.

Alternatively, you can create a new board by clicking the “Create Board” button, but only if you’ve upgraded your plan.

Adding new ads from the Meta Ad Library

If you find an ad that’s not included in the Madgicx Ad Library, you can easily add it to your board using a link from Meta Ad Library. 

Firstly, you need to click on the “New Ad” button on the top right of the page, and a new popup will appear.

Secondly, you must select your board from the dropdown menu. Then paste the link of the ad you want to add from the Meta Ad Library and click “Add.”

Yes, it’s that simple.

Create batches of ads using AI with the AI Ad Generator 

From the Ad Library, use the AI Ad Generator to create batches of ads based on an example image you upload, a text prompt, or both. 

You can also hit the “Ad Gen AI” button on any ad in the Ad Library to create a new batch of AI-generated ads using it as a reference.

The AI Creative Generator screen will appear. Here, you can add more details to your prompt by sliding the “Advanced option” toggle. You can edit the default text and add more information about what you want in your ad.

Click the “Start AI Generation” button to begin creating your batch of ads. You’ll end up on the “My AI Generations” tab, where your AI ads will appear.

If there’s an ad you want to use, you can add comments and share it with your designer to finalize the design and make any adjustments. Or you can send it to our graphic artists to polish the design for you and get it back within 48 hours.

Share your favorite boards with your design team

Ad Library helps you shave off some time by letting you share a link to your board directly with your design team or anyone else - even if they don’t have a Madgicx account. As a result, they’ll have a reference for the ad creative and specs they need to create the design in one link - just add your input.

Here’s how.

You can find your board by going to the “Creatives” menu in the side menu, and you’ll see your board at the bottom of the menu.

If you click on your board, you’ll find all the ads you’ve saved. 

Highlighted above, you see a menu arrow next to your board name. Click this to open up a dropdown where you can share the link, which copies it to your clipboard. You can then share this with your designer as long as they have a Madgicx account. 

Now, let’s take a look at one of the ads we’ve saved. Click on the ad, and a new popup will open. 

Here, you can zoom in on extra details about the ad, such as the page it advertises, the platforms it appears on, the landing page, format and size, tags, and creative description of the image. In other words, this information tells you the specs of how the ad should be created in the right designer lingo. Everything you need for your creative brief!

Remember to send it to our ad designers if you need a professional touch.

To send a design brief to our team of graphic artists, click the three-dot menu in the top right when you hover over the ad. Select the Briefs ✨ option in the drop-down menu.

With Madgicx, you can create your own thumb-stopping ads with just a few clicks and meet your creative demands.

Once the ad is created, it's automatically uploaded to your media library, which means you can launch it via Meta Ads Manager or directly from Madgicx - again, at the click of a button.

Madgicx Briefs offers three tiers of service:

• Only Graphics: $333/mo.

Fill your everyday design needs from ads to social media posts and more.

• Auto Ads: $399/mo.

Get 4 ads every month - graphics, videos, or both.

• Unlimited Graphics + Videos: $777/mo.

Access all types of creatives to level up your brand - from GIFs to motion graphics.
