## How this is measured

- Ads come from the Meta Ad Library: active in the US, and either running 14 days or more or made in 3 or more versions. 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.
