Top Creatives report allows you to see the total performance of each image and video ad wherever it’s used using Birch's creative matching technology.

The report is highly customisable - you can choose from a wide range of metrics, timeframes, filter out the creatives by the campaign/ad set/ad parameters and audiences, and even choose how the creatives will be matched! The reports can be truly versatile and serve a broad spectrum of functions for different marketing and creative teams. Let's look at how to set it up!

You can share Top Creatives reports with all your team members. When the toggle Share report with the team in the report settings is enabled - this report appears in the list of all your team members so they can open, edit, duplicate or delete the report:

When your report is ready, you’ll see a table of the creatives and their metrics.

You can further sort your creatives by creative type in the dropdown and/ or add filter (s). If I apply the selection in the screenshot below, the report will show the creatives of all types that have spent over a hundred USD.

In the table of creatives, you have the option to sort your creatives by any of your selected metrics in ascending and descending order by clicking the metric column header.

By hovering over a particular creative a magnified image/ preview will appear for your convenience. If your creative is a video, you would be able to play it right from the table.

In the Details popup, you can see how many ads the image was used in. When you click a creative, you will see a list of those ads and their ad sets with direct links to them in Meta Ads Manager. There is the Ad account info and Filter creatives by ad accounts option as well. So in case of multiple ad accounts in the report this will help you see from which ad account the creative came from. You can also view analytics of the creative on the ad level.

You will also see more detail about the type of creative. For example, in the below creative, it's an image in 1:1 ratio at a 2048x2048 px resolution in a square format.

By clicking "Breakdown," you can break down this individual creative's performance by your chosen metrics.

Your Top Creatives reports are automatically saved after creating and editing them. You can give your report a name by clicking "Untitled report" at the top of the page and entering text.
