What does Brand X-Ray read across Jones Road Beauty's ads?

Brand X-Ray reads the newest 5,000 of Jones Road Beauty's 5,007 creatives in the library: their formats, how they open, what they say and what changed lately. Six of its readings follow, each with this ad's place in it.

Brand X-Ray (method public-creative-evidence-v2), read on 24 September 2026. Shares count creatives, not spend or reach, each over the creatives the reading could apply to; recorded days say how long the library saw an ad, not how it did.

What did the library's model read in it?

The library's model tagged it with 27 attributes. It reads the ad as aimed at women aged 25-40 (its own confidence: 90/100 for the gender, 85/100 for the age). These are a model's readings, not measurements. Beside each tag: how many of Jones Road Beauty's creatives carry it, and their median recorded days.

Sources and method

• The ad. The official Meta Ad Library records of its versions: 2179699515931216, 1375592810873136, 1040363858875878, 1328928382339916, 1097516909899119, 1733438664652866 and 81 more (all in the versions table). The ad is shown as a still with commentary; its images belong to Jones Road Beauty.
• The data. Adspy's library, read on 24 September 2026. A version is one source-ad record that uses this creative. Recorded days count the days the library saw it running, up to the data date for live ones. 29 of the 41 ended versions have an end date the library estimated after it stopped seeing them.
• Comparisons. The industry and brand comparisons measure every creative over its own first days, as many as this one has had, so newer and older creatives compare fairly. The industry is the library's classification of each brand. The library's estimated country is not used: for English ads on a .com site it is a language default, not a market.
• Model output. The AI tags, the audience reading and the analysis come from the library's model (gemini-2.5-flash-lite-preview-06-17). The layers were cut by models too (SAM 2.1 for objects, colour unmixing for lettering); 46% of the back plate was filled in where layers were lifted, and never shows in the ad itself.
