Three bottlenecks bleeding your margin.

You're spending 40 hours on research that should take four. The cost isn't just billable time -- it's the pitches that arrive generic, the briefs that produce safe creative, and the WIPs where you walk in without a fresh angle.

01

The 48-hour pitch scramble

Pitch timelines don't care about your research methodology. Planners get bogged down in manual data collection when they should be focused on brilliant data synthesis -- the part the client actually pays for.

02

The sea-of-sameness brief

Briefs built on category norms produce creative that sounds like the category. Feed the creative team what everyone already knows, and you get work that blends right back into the feed.

03

The reactive account trap

AMs are expected to be proactive advisors, not order-takers. Staying ahead of every competitor's move manually is impossible -- so they walk into WIPs without fresh angles, defending opinions instead of presenting evidence.

Three steps. Sixty seconds to map the category.

SOMIN replaces three weeks of manual category research with one connected workflow. You feed it competitors. It hands you back a defensible POV, an opening worth owning, and a brief already framed.

01
Analyze

Brand Tracker

See what your competitors are actually doing.

Feed in the competitive set. SOMIN pulls every ad and post automatically, then categorises by persona, proposition, tension, and tone -- and maps it visually in 60 seconds.

  • Who is saying what -- by message, persona, and tone
  • Which messages and audiences are oversaturated
  • Which are wide open -- and where competitors are quietly pivoting
02
Identify

Perspective

Find the specific opening worth owning.

Not every gap is worth chasing. SOMIN intersects competitor weakness with what your client can genuinely claim -- surfacing 1--3 ownable strategic openings where product truth meets competitor blind spot.

  • Prioritised view: which competitor is most exposed, and why
  • Data-backed strategic foundation your briefs have been missing
  • Defensible, evidence-led POV your planners can present in the room
03
Ideate

Expressions

Build the campaign around the opening.

The strategic insight from Step 2 feeds directly into Expressions. Instead of generic ideas, SOMIN generates concepts engineered around the opening -- the right audience, the right tension, the right angle.

  • A campaign brief that's already differentiated before PowerPoint opens
  • Defensible creative starting points your team -- or agency -- builds from
  • Native alignment with Meta and Google ad-diversity requirements

The numbers our agencies live by.

From creative pitch to multi-million-pound deal.

Instead of a standard creative pitch, SAMY ran a deep forensic analysis of Nightcap Group's public data through SOMIN. The conversation shifted from "services" to measurable business impact -- and SAMY secured the account.

We walked into the pitch with a competitive audit the client hadn't seen. We won the Nightcap account on the strength of insight nobody else had.

One platform. Every agency motion.

Whether you sell strategy, creative, media, or performance -- SOMIN is engineered into the part of the workflow where margin and pitch wins are decided.

For creative agencies

The antidote to creative fatigue.

AI won't replace creative brilliance. But keeping a team energised on the same client year after year is exhausting. SOMIN is the strategic fuel -- so creatives never start from a blank page.

  • Walk into the pitch with a category POV nobody else has
  • Brief on reality, not assumption -- fewer revisions, sharper work
  • 3--5 strategic springboards anchored in market evidence
  • Creative starting points teams elevate, not start from
For media + performance

The creative is the targeting.

Modern media planning isn't just placement -- it's what you place. SOMIN bridges the gap between media, performance, and comms so you can own the creative conversation and reverse-engineer ROI.

  • Walk into WIPs and own the creative conversation
  • Master Meta + Google ad-diversity scores natively
  • Evaluate creative against the baseline before media commits
  • Deconstruct the recipe behind competitor wins
"Creative is the most important lever for performance in the modern advertising ecosystem. To reach diverse audiences, brands must shift from granular manual targeting to creative differentiation -- letting machine learning find the right customer through the right visual message."
-- Meta for Business

SOMIN is agentic AI-ready.

Once your workspace has accumulated brand signal (typically 60--90 days), graduate parts of the workflow to fully autonomous execution. SOMIN plugs in via MCP as the Strategy Agent in a multi-agent pipeline.

"We already do competitive research."

Every agency does. The question is whether doing it manually is costing you more than it's worth. The three pushbacks we hear most:

Our strategists are good. We don't need a tool.
Good strategists get the most out of SOMIN. It removes the low-value research grind so they can focus on the part that wins pitches: interpreting the data and deciding what to do. The output is a defensible POV in hours, not three weeks of manual scrolling.
We already use social listening tools.
Listening tells you what consumers say about a brand. SOMIN tells you what strategy is behind what brands are saying -- every competitor ad parsed for proposition, persona, tension, and tone -- and critically, the white space they're leaving completely unaddressed.
Can we show SOMIN output directly to clients?
Yes -- and the best agencies do. The output is clean, presentation-ready, and lands as a proprietary, tech-enabled category audit. White-label deployment puts your subdomain, colour, and logo on the dashboard. Most agencies stand the white-label up inside a working week.
How fast does the team actually adopt it?
Day one for most teams. Havas Media MENA had the team on-platform inside a single onboarding session. KPI Media deployed in three days. The interface is built for strategists who already know what to look for -- there's no methodology to learn.
Which markets and platforms are covered?
11+ markets across APAC, MENA, and Europe today. Public ad inventories from Meta, Google, TikTok, and YouTube. Engagement signal from live in-feed surfaces. New markets onboard inside two weeks.
