18 winning ad formulas
Sundays for Dogs could be using.
Curiosity Spike runs at 19% across your category. It doesn't appear once in your decoded ads.
Process Teaser hooks dominate your strategy at 20%. Curiosity Spike, which opens with an intriguing question, runs at 19% across the category but is at 0% in your sample. Past-Self Open, which draws on nostalgia, is also missing at 14% category-wide. Each missing hook is an audience segment that never sees your ads.
80% of your ads rely on 2 formats. The category uses 6.
Voiceover B-Roll and Talking Head B-Roll each make up 40% of your formats. Missing formats like Talking Head Product, which is the category's top format at 5%, don't appear in your sample. Different formats reach different types of buyers. Each missing format is a buyer type that competitors are reaching and you're not.
Competence Restoration drives 33% of your category. You're not using it.
Social Validation drives 40% of your psychology mix. Competence Restoration, which empowers the buyer, runs at 33% in the category but is absent in your sample. Each psychological trigger reaches a fundamentally different buyer. Missing triggers mean entire buyer conversations you're not having while competitors are.
Direct CTA is the category's top close at 33%. You use it in 25% of your ads.
Soft CTA at 25% and Direct CTA at 25% close your ads. Hopeful Close, which encourages future engagement, runs at 10% across the category but is at 0% in your sample. The close is the last thing a viewer sees before deciding. Missing CTA styles mean missing the buyers whose decision-making doesn't match your current approach.

Visual DNA
Aggregated visual characteristics from 5 ads.
Every year brands spend billions producing ads. And every year 70–90% of them fail. Not because the brands aren't smart. Not because the budgets aren't big enough. But because the formula behind every winning ad has always been invisible — even to the people who made them.
Heista makes it visible.
Heista is the first platform that makes the formula inside any winning ad completely visible. The hook. The psychology. The beat structure. The exact mechanism that made someone stop scrolling and buy. Visible. In seconds.
And then it rebuilds that formula for your brand. In minutes.
We're not making ads faster.
We're making the invisible visible.
For the first time.
