Foreplay
Swipe library + competitor research with Spyder — the inspiration standard.
Researchers and strategists who want a tagged library of winning creatives to riff on.
Foreplay is the swipe-file standard for creative researchers — save winning ads, organise inspiration boards, and track competitor activity via Spyder. Its strength is research and inspiration; analytics and per-account scoring sit elsewhere. Omniscia takes the swipe one step further: every creative you analyse gets scored, fingerprinted, and read against your own performance data — and competitors monitored in Intel are scored on the same scale, so you compare apples to apples.
