We create ads around what makes people act,
then show you the money they actually made.

Cloud Ten brings market intelligence, buyer psychology, creative and paid media together. We uncover why customers respond, build ads around those insights, and track what happens after the conversion: lead quality and closed revenue to contribution profit.

The problem we exist to fix

Your dashboard isn't your P&L.
Most creative is a guess.
You pay for both.

Neither answers the only question that matters: which of this spend is genuinely making you money, and why.

Problem one

Platforms grade
their own homework.

Every channel counts conversions it influenced, and some it didn't. That isn't dishonesty, it's how attribution works. But it means the dashboard and your bank statement rarely agree. We still read the platform numbers. We just don't stop there.

Problem two

Agencies guess
at creative.

Most ads start from a blank page and a hunch, then get “validated” by the same inflated numbers. The industry's answer has been AI. Used to guess faster, not to know more.

Two ways this bites

So, which one are you?

How we fix it

We replace guessing
with knowing.

01

UNDERSTAND

Find out what makes people act.

We analyse competitor ads, customer language, reviews, search behaviour and category trends to understand what customers want, what they resist and what changes their decision.

The customer becomes the brief.

Every ad below is real, currently running, and ranked by how long it has survived. Hover any one.
02

CREATE

Build every ad around a reason to work.

We turn those insights into concepts, messages and creative designed around real motivations, objections and buying behaviour. AI helps us analyse and explore faster. Human judgement makes the work worth noticing.

The industry is using AI to make more. We use it to know more.

Three ads still running. Three reasons why.
Nodiee ad
SpecificityNodiee · running 937d

“Six soothing sounds for better sleep”

A countable promise. Six, not “lots of”. The brain can check it, so it believes it.

KatKin ad
ConcretenessKatKin · running 94d

“Clay litter stinks. Meet Scoop Planet.”

Names the thing you actually hate. You don’t have to imagine the problem. You’ve smelled it.

Wholier ad
FramingWholier · running 105d

“Protein powders used to flair up my IBS”

Leads with the objection, not the product. The buyer who ruled the category out gets a reason back in.

We work from a library of 32 named mechanisms. Every concept is briefed against one before it’s made, so there’s a reason it should work before it costs you anything.

03

MEASURE

Follow the conversion through to money.

We run the campaigns and track what happens after the click. Whether the lead was qualified, the opportunity closed, or the sale produced contribution profit.

The platform reports the conversion. We measure what it became.

6,000+ ads your competitors
are still paying for.

Hover an ad to read what it is doing.

We'll turn our own ads off
to prove they work.

That's the commitment: incrementality testing built into the engagement. We go dark on a channel, measure what your revenue actually does, and report the result whether it flatters us or not. It's the one test that can't be gamed, which is exactly why almost nobody offers it.

  1. A countable, checkable promise instead of a category claim.
  2. Lead with the objection your buyer already has.
  3. Reframe the cost as the thing they avoid, not the thing they pay.
