Brands keep paying for ads that work, so how long an ad has run is the signal. - "Days running" counts from the ad's start date in the Meta Ad Library to the day this page was measured. "Versions" is how many variations of the same ad the brand made. - A brand gets its own page once 3 or more of its ads qualify. Each ad links to its page in the Meta Ad Library, where the creative itself can be seen. ## FAQ **What ads is Frank Kern running on Facebook and Instagram?** 5 ads qualify this week: “I'm checking my email and I get served this ad.” (founder to camera, 2,209 days); “People who actually make money writing copy with AI probably really don't want you to hear...” (founder to camera, 113 days); “If You Stop Trying To Sell Stuff You Might Make More Money.” (static, 78 days); “THIS CAN DESTROY YOUR BUSINESS” (static, 70 days); “Scaling Sucks.
