Executive Summary

Media buyers and brand teams running dozens to hundreds of short-form ads lack tools that automatically identify which visual and audio motifs drive conversions, so they waste budget and iterate too slowly—many teams resent spending weeks to learn what works. This problem is acute for advertisers who must produce new creative weekly but still can’t attribute performance at the motif level across platforms. You could build a SaaS that ingests creatives and platform performance data, uses multimodal AI to auto-tag and cluster visual/audio motifs, and outputs ranked creative motifs plus spend-reallocation recommendations and automated test ideas via a simple dashboard and API. The product would include cross-platform spend insights, A/B test orchestration, and human-readable explanations to speed the learning loop from weeks to days. The market is attractive now: roughly a $4.0B opportunity (2,000,000 advertisers × ~$2K ACV), with short-form platforms taking an increasing share of social budgets and creative velocity forcing weekly testing cycles—this idea scores highly on market timing (90/100) and revenue potential (88/100). You can differentiate by combining motif-level multimodal tagging, automated clustering, and prescriptive spend optimization rather than just surface-level analytics, but expect practical challenges around access to cross-platform creative and performance data, attribution noise, privacy constraints, and buyer trust. With robust integrations, transparent explainability, and a targeted go-to-market to high-velocity advertisers, this could be a high-impact, defensible product in a medium-competition field.
