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 Listening.com running on Facebook and Instagram?** 5 ads qualify this week: “Professor: “Can you read these 30 papers by Monday?”” (static, 61 days); “Why don't research papers have audiobook versions?” (founder to camera, 59 days); “There's this incredible app called Listening which turns academic papers into audio and sends it to your phone.” (talking head, 59 days); ““Like ASMR for PhDs”” (static, 59 days); “Life after realizing you can listen to research papers instead of reading them” (static, 39 days).
