Questions
Are these real ads?
They are previews drawn to match each platform’s current ad formats, using frames from my own shoots or your own images. To see real ads from any brand, use the official libraries linked on this page.
How does the brand ad simulator work?
You paste your Instagram link or handle. My tool reads only public page details, like your name, picture and bio, then AI writes ad copy for each platform and the previews are drawn with your brand. If Instagram blocks the read, you type your brand name and what you sell, and add your own images or website instead.
Do you store my images?
No. Uploaded images stay in your browser and are never sent to me or stored. Only the text details you type are sent, to write the copy.
Are the cost numbers accurate?
They are estimates shown as ranges, from public benchmarks cited on each page. Real results depend on your audience, season, offer and the ad itself.
Which platform should I start with?
For most consumer brands in Dubai and India, Instagram Reels and Stories. TikTok and Snapchat for younger UAE audiences, LinkedIn for B2B, and ChatGPT ads if people ask AI tools about what you sell.
Can you run these campaigns for me?
Yes. I plan, shoot, edit, buy the ads and report on them myself. WhatsApp me with what you sell and your budget.
