MagicBrief
Creative research, ad library, and brief workspace for performance teams.
You're a creative strategist whose primary output is briefs, your team lives in Slack, and you want a 12M+ ad library to riff on.
MagicBrief is a creative research and brief workspace. Save inspiration from public ad libraries, organise reference boards, and draft briefs collaboratively. Strong at the upstream end of the creative process, lighter on per-account performance analysis or pre-launch scoring. Omniscia complements that workflow with the data engine: every creative scored before launch via Lens, real performance read across Meta, Google Ads, and TikTok via Nexus, and Cortex retraining on your specific account. Pair them: research on MagicBrief, validate and read on Omniscia.
Folded into Canva. Design ecosystem play, performance analytics not the priority.

You're a creative strategist whose primary output is briefs, your team lives in Slack, and you want a 12M+ ad library to riff on.
Data-backed briefs and live performance reads, not just a research workspace.
You want briefs that cite the data they came from. Forge directives link directly to Lens scores and a lineage DAG, so every recommendation carries an account-count and confidence band. MagicBrief is research-first and templates-first; Omniscia is data-engine-first.

Reads on creative quality before any budget is spent.
| Capability | Omniscia | MagicBrief |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-launch creative scoring (6-cat + clustering)Visual diversity, hook variety, angle coverage, format mix, audio diversity, text and CTA. Scored before any spend. | ✓ | — |
| Andromeda fingerprinting (same creative across platforms)Auto-link the same creative running on Meta, Google, and TikTok via perceptual hash + audio fingerprint + CLIP embedding. | ✓ | — |
| Audio MFCC fingerprint clusteringSonic similarity across an ad set surfaces sound-driven clustering Meta delivery is sensitive to. | ✓ | — |
| CLIP visual similarity matrix512-dim ViT-B-32 embeddings per keyframe (24 keyframes per video); cosine similarity matrix flags overlap before delivery throttles it. | ✓ | ◐similarity search |
| Hook-section fingerprinting (first 3 seconds)Hook frames pinned and analysed as one block. The first 3 seconds drive Meta Andromeda audience matching, so hook-section fingerprints flag repetition the algorithm punishes. | ✓ | — |
| Network percentile benchmarks (your score vs network and vertical)Percentile rank (0 to 100) against the network and your vertical, surfaced inline on every score so a number is never read in isolation. | ✓ | — |
| Sample-size + confidence inline on every readEvery forward-looking number names the N and confidence band that produced it. No hand-waved ROAS lifts. | ✓ | — |
| Landing page alignment (5-dimension scoring)Scores ad message vs landing page across headline match, CTA verb alignment, offer alignment, urgency alignment, tone match, and trust signal coverage. Surfaces missed-opportunity callouts when LP signals are absent from ad copy. | ✓ | — |

| Cross-platform ROAS / CTR / CPA pattern analysis with confidenceRead patterns across Meta, Google, and TikTok with sample-size and confidence shown alongside. | ✓ | — |
| Per-asset attribution (which variant carried ROAS)Asset Impact panel decomposes campaign ROAS down to the individual creative on Meta and Google. TikTok per-creative breakdown is not yet wired in by sync. | ◐Meta + Google | — |
| LTV-adjusted ROAS for multi-product brandsScore creatives on lifetime value, not first-purchase ROAS. The right read for subscription and repeat-buyer brands. | ✓ | — |
