About Knack

Creative is the largest lever in paid media and the least measured. Knack exists to close that gap, and to be honest about where the evidence runs out.

Knack reads every ad an account runs, grades it against what its campaign was actually built to do, and says what to scale, iterate or kill.

Why it exists

Paid media reporting is excellent at the things that are easy to count: spend, placement, audience, bid. It is close to useless at the thing that moves the number most. NCSolutions put creative at 49% of the sales a campaign drives, more than brand, reach, targeting and recency combined. Almost no reporting stack gives it a column.

The tools that do try mostly read your ad names. That works in a demo and falls apart in a real account, because naming conventions decay the moment a freelancer joins, an agency hands over, or someone ships twelve variants on a Friday and calls them final_USE_THIS. Knack reads the creative itself, the image or a frame from the video, so it works on an account you have never touched, on the first pull, with nothing to set up.

Who builds it

Knack is built by Brent Raynor, a paid media strategist who spent years running creative across ecommerce accounts and got tired of answering "which kind of ad is working" with a spreadsheet and a guess. It is operated by The Good Morning Project Limited, a company registered in Dublin, Ireland, and verified with Meta as a technology provider.

What it deliberately won't do

Most of the judgement in a tool like this is in what it refuses to say.

The short version

You can brief an angle. You cannot brief an ad ID. Knack's whole job is to turn account performance into the first kind of answer.

How your data is handled

Knack connects to Meta with read-only scope. It never writes to your account, and the permission to do so was deliberately dropped. Access tokens are encrypted, client reports are snapshots rather than live queries, and you can disconnect an ad account or delete a workspace at any time. The specifics are in the Privacy Policy, including step-by-step deletion instructions.
