  • We count each ad once, by its launch date, and we keep an ad that launched before March 2026 if it still ran then.

Limits

  • Spytrend collects ads since March 2026. An older ad is in the data only when it still ran then, so a first ad date can be earlier.
  • The number of ads we collect changes from month to month, which is why changes are compared with similar companies.
  • The page counts ads. It does not show ad spend or impressions.
  • An ad Spytrend did not see is not proof that the company did not advertise.

Headings, short summaries and the takeaways are written by an AI model from these numbers and checked by rules. Every figure comes from Spytrend data, and message names are an AI reading of the ad texts. Report a mistake.
