What hooks does Cuttable use in their ads?

Cuttable's most-used hook types are Curiosity Spike, Open Loop Statement, Direct Question Hook. These are the openers that consistently appear across their highest-performing creative. The full breakdown shows which hooks scale longest and which burn out fastest, ranked by ad lifespan inside the decoded sample.

What ad formats does Cuttable favor?

Cuttable produces most of their creative in Motion Graphics, with Slideshow Statics and Brand Film as secondary formats. The format distribution reveals which production styles they prioritize and which formats they avoid — useful for benchmarking your own creative mix against a brand operating in other.

What psychological triggers does Cuttable use?

Cuttable's ads most consistently activate Closure Delivery, Curiosity Gap, Competence Restoration. These are the core mechanisms their creative relies on to convert viewers.

You can take any of Cuttable's winning structures, load your own brand into Heista, and generate ready-to-shoot scripts and visual briefs built on the same architecture but with your product, voice, and offer.

How is this different from an ad spy tool?

Ad spy tools show you screenshots of which ads Cuttable is running. This report shows you the formula behind those ads — the beat-by-beat structural blueprint that made each one work. Hook type, psychological mechanism, scaling curve, visual DNA. You can't paste a screenshot into a creative brief. You can paste a formula.

Where does Heista source Cuttable's ads from?

Heista sources live-running video ads from Meta Ad Library and TikTok Creative Center — the same public ad libraries that competitive teams monitor. Each ad is then reverse-engineered into its structural formula. No scraping, no private data. The "Last updated" date on this page reflects the most recent refresh of the structural intelligence.
