Many teams need a regular overview of their best-performing creatives — without manually building reports each time. Especially for weekly or monthly recaps, automation saves time and ensures everyone stays aligned.

That’s exactly what the Top Creative Digest is made for!

What is the Top Creative Digest?

It's an automated report that highlights your best-performing creatives within a defined time period — including the key metrics that matter most.


It is based on your existing Top Performer Report, with one key difference: the Digest is sent automatically on a recurring schedule.

💡 Good to know: The metrics included in the Top Creative Digest are the same as those defined in your Top Performer Report.

How to set up the Top Creative Digest:

  1. Go to Settings and click on Clients

  2. Select "Manage"

  3. Scroll down until you see the section called "Top Creative Digest".

Track Your Top Creative Digest Anytime

Even though your Top Creative Digest is automatically sent to you each week via email or Slack, you can also find it as a dedicated folder inside your Reports.

Each weeks edition is saved automatically, allowing you to:

  • scroll through all past weekly overviews in chronological order

  • see top performing creatives in any given week

  • analyze performance changes week-over-week — e.g., how a creative developed compared to two weeks ago

  • identify long-term patterns, such as formats, hooks, messages, or products that consistently perform well

Standard Metrics & Top Creative Digest Metrics

You can define client-specific standard metrics that are automatically included in every report.
