For brand & marketing leaders

Defend every campaign with data, not opinion.

Brand teams use SOMIN to walk into every concept review, exec sign-off, and post-mortem with live category evidence -- not last quarter's qual deck. From brief to pre-scored creative in 13 minutes.

It isn't a creativity problem. It's an intelligence problem.

You brief an agency. They run a workshop. Six weeks later, the campaign concept looks a lot like what your category was already doing -- or what your competitor launched last quarter. The work is fine. The data underneath it is stale.

01
40+ hours of manual research
Lost per campaign cycle scraping creative, tagging by hand, and rebuilding the same competitive view every quarter.
02
Briefs built on last year's data
Six-week briefing cycles produce decks that arrive after the campaign window -- and the audience -- has already moved.
03
No real visibility on the white space
Local teams guess at what HQ direction looks like in-market. Concepts ship out that the category was already saturating.
Technology should be a force for balance, peace of mind, and meaningful connection -- empowering advertisers to work with purpose, free from time pressure and complexity in data. -- SOMIN, Vision

One workflow. Four products. Built for brand defence.

Every step in the SOMIN workflow produces a deliverable a brand team can actually use in a meeting -- not just another dashboard to log into.

Step 01
Brand Tracker · Insight

Deep discovery

Feed in your competitive set. Every public ad across paid and organic gets pulled, decoded, and indexed by proposition, persona, and tone.

→ Live category map
Step 02
Perspective Studies · Strategy

Map the white space

Surface the audiences and propositions your category is underserving. See what's crowded and what's open -- across topics, personalities, and incentives.

→ Defensible angles
Step 03
Expressions · Planning

Build the concept

Generate concepts engineered around the chosen opening -- not generic AI output. Audience, channel, and message angle pre-locked.

→ Brief-ready concepts
Step 04
Ad Scoring · Validation

Validate before spend

Predict creative performance against the competitive baseline. Cut the bottom tier before media commits -- defend the rest with confidence.

→ Pre-scored stack

What each module hands the brand team.

01 · Brand Tracker · Insight

Every competitor ad, decoded into a structured brief.

Topic, theme, observed tension, key message, inferred audience, archetype, tone of voice -- every public creative your competitors run becomes a structured object you can sort, filter, and benchmark against.

  • Multi-channel audit across paid and organic media
  • Hyper-local filtering by niche, product line, and country
  • Meta Ad Diversity benchmarks for creative differentiation
  • Side-by-side market view -- see how the same brand fights New York vs London
02 · Perspective Studies · Strategy

Map what's crowded. Find what's open.

Choose a lens -- Topics, Propositions, Brand Personalities, or Product Incentives -- and SOMIN runs a comparative analysis across every competitor in your workspace. The audiences your category is underserving show up at the bottom of the chart, ready to be claimed.

  • Four ready-to-run analytical lenses, fully comparative
  • From weeks of agency work to 13 minutes per study
  • Tensions matched against what your brand can genuinely claim
  • Output: a defensible angle, not another sentiment chart
03 · Expressions · Planning

Concepts engineered around the opening.

Every concept ties back to the original strategy, the specific persona tension, and the exact competitor content that revealed the gap. You walk into the brief meeting with audience, message angle, and channel mix already framed -- and a paper trail back to the data.

  • Concepts traced to a real, documented market gap
  • Aligned with Meta & Google Ad Diversity guidance
  • Brief-ready: audience, message angle, channel pre-locked
  • Defensible in front of legal, exec, and creative review
04 · Ad Scoring · Validation

Validate before a dollar moves.

Every concept runs through in-house ad performance models trained on tens of thousands of labelled ads -- the deep-learning architecture published at ACM WSDM 2023 as SoCraft, hosted on Google Cloud. Each creative gets a clickability tier and a confidence level -- so the bottom tier never makes it past internal review.

From local guesswork to AI-powered hyper-localisation.

Annual ad coverage 4,000+

The challenge

  • Tracking 4,000+ digital ads each year across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok
  • 25+ hours lost weekly to manual content research and tagging
  • Local teams guessing what content might work -- even with HQ direction
  • Diluted regional briefs failing to land in-market

The approach

  • Brand Tracker decoded which competitors were winning Singaporean parents -- and on which platforms
  • Personas converted instantly into content directions grounded in real local interests, habits, and consumption behaviour
  • HQ messaging matched against the Singaporean market reality, side by side
Without SOMIN, segmentation of expecting mothers' needs, engagement patterns, and persona profiling would not be as comprehensive.

What brand teams ask before they commit.

How does SOMIN help brand teams defend campaign decisions?
Every concept SOMIN produces carries a paper trail: the decoded competitor ads that revealed the gap, the audience tension it answers, and a predicted clickability tier with a confidence level. When leadership asks "why this idea?", the answer is live category evidence -- not opinion. That's what "defensible in front of legal, exec, and creative review" means in practice.
How does AI reduce campaign research time for brand teams?
SOMIN replaces the 40+ hours per cycle teams spend collecting and hand-tagging competitor creative with a live, decoded category view refreshed daily. Brief-to-concept drops from six weeks to a 13-minute median -- a speed-up Google Cloud's customer story documents at up to 12×. Mothercare Singapore reclaimed 25+ hours a week and cut research time 80%.
How does SOMIN track competitor ads across markets?
Brand Tracker pulls every public ad and organic post from the ad inventories of Meta, Google, TikTok, and YouTube, then uses large language models to decode each creative by proposition, persona, tension, tone, and call-to-action. Hyper-local filters slice by niche, product line, and country, and side-by-side market views show how the same brand fights in different cities -- across 11+ markets in APAC, MENA, and Europe.
How accurate is SOMIN's ad-performance prediction?
78% click-through-rate prediction accuracy -- roughly 3× more accurate than the average human baseline, as documented in Google Cloud's customer story. The models are SOMIN's own deep-learning architecture, trained on tens of thousands of labelled ads and peer-reviewed at ACM WSDM 2023 as SoCraft. Every score ships with a confidence interval, so you know how hard to lean on it.
What AI technology and data does SOMIN use?
SOMIN runs on Google Cloud: Gemini 2.5 Pro handles ad and video understanding, audience clustering, and insight generation, with GPT-4-class LLMs supporting content workflows and in-house CTR models hosted on Compute Engine with Cloud GPUs. Data comes from public ad inventories and licensed first-party partners -- no gated scraping -- with handling aligned to the GDPR and Singapore's PDPA. The platform architecture is peer-reviewed: SOMIN at ACM Multimedia 2025.
Can SOMIN work alongside our agency?
Yes -- that's the most common setup. Brand teams use SOMIN to write evidence-led briefs and pressure-test the concepts agencies return; many agencies on the roster (Dentsu, OMG, GroupM, Havas, Publicis network teams) already work inside SOMIN, so both sides build from the same live category data instead of debating whose deck is fresher.
