Live Competitive Audit Using Meta Ad Library

Eddie Yoon, Sr Director, Paid Media at NP Digital, shows how CMOs can spin up a full creative campaign in ~30 minutes using AI. He breaks down a rapid “three-tab” workflow—Meta Ad Library for competitive research, GPT for strategy and prompts, and an image generator (Reeve) for instant mood boards—then extends it into testing (Trial Reels, TikTok hooks), product R&D, and agentic pipelines. We also riff on why the next decade could normalize solo billionaire founders, how Netflix foreshadowed AI-driven content, and what real-time, stylized, monetizable media will look like.
