# Make a picture out of what already worked

> Point a Creatives brief at the ads that performed, the trends being written about, or what your own numbers say — and what you point at genuinely reaches the picture.

## What this solves

Attaching something to a brief looked like it worked and mostly did not. Only an uploaded picture and a saved moodboard item ever made it through, so "make one like this" quietly became "make one".

## What changed

- **Everything you attach reaches the picture.** A rival's ad brings its layout and headline; a campaign brings what it is saying; a date brings what is planned for it. - **Ads that worked.** A new door on the Create screen, and `@` in the composer: your own ads that performed, each showing its click-through rate, reach and cost. Only ads with a real audience behind them are offered. - **Trends.** The articles tracked for your market, strongest first. A trend gives the picture an argument; the article itself is never pictured. - **Your numbers.** One takeaway from a period as the point a creative makes, always described as the company's number rather than that picture's result. - **Rivals' ads read better.** LinkedIn ads publish no start date, so each one now shows and is ordered by the audience size LinkedIn reports, not by when we found it. - **Ask for it in a sentence.** "Make one based on our best ad" — the assistant finds it and attaches it rather than mentioning it in passing. - **You can see what you attached.** A picture you upload appears as itself while it is still uploading, instead of as a file name, and the one you added last is no longer pushed out. - **A reference is followed, not glanced at.** What a saved ad shows, and the device it works by — a subject obscured, a split screen, a before and after — now reaches the picture. - **And when something cannot be used, it says so.** A clip, or a photo in an unreadable format, is kept with the brief and labelled as something that will not be looked at.

## Where to find it

Creatives → **Create**: the doors under the box, or `@` while writing.

## Useful for

Anyone with an ad that worked who wants more like it, and anyone who attached a competitor's ad and wondered why the result looked nothing like it.
