In a market overflowing with fast-moving competitors and a near-constant stream of new ads, Slimz needed more than intuition and isolated dashboards. They needed a way to spot what’s working, learn from competitors, and scale winning ideas faster.
As Slimz scaled its marketing, the creative team and the performance team faced four major hurdles:
Ido Shazar, Director, Digital Marketing Strategist:
“We wanted to bring AI into our workflow. A tool that could combine all performance data and creative insights into one place.
We needed guidance, not just more dashboards..”
Slimz turned to Upspring.ai as their creative intelligence compass. The platform gave them:
The Slimz team now logs into Upspring.ai multiple times per week to review creatives, spot competitor trends, and stress-test their own hypotheses.
The turning point came when Slimz began using two of Upspring’s unique capabilities:
1. AI-Powered Video Analysis
Upspring’s first game-changer was its frame-by-frame, second-by-second AI analysis. The system pinpointed where viewers dropped off—or where engagement spiked.
One insight stood out: In one of Slimz’s top UGC videos, engagement peaked when the model showed the product from the back or in profile view, rather than head-on. This insight was not intuitive. “Why would the back angle work better?” Yet the data was clear: the audience responded strongly to it.
Slimz acted quickly, producing a series of creatives that opened with the back view. The results were immediate—these became some of their best-performing ads to date.
“We never would have thought of starting a video from the back. Today One of the best performing campaigns is the one we’ve created with Upspring.ai after learning this”
2. Competitor Hook Boards
The team built a dedicated board to track competitor videos, focusing specifically on Social video hooks. This all-in-one “view of views” revealed trends across rivals. They have learned that competitors often use “Pain points" as hooks. And that this is not a coincidence but a strategy - the most successful videos start with a pain and not a benefit or product demonstration as you would think. The insights from these hooks directly shaped Slimz’s own creative strategy, informing both content and sequencing. The result: faster reaction time to competitor moves, and campaigns grounded in proof rather than guesswork.
“The ability to see competitor patterns, spot trends, and translate them into our own brand strategy is pure gold.”
1. Better ROAS - 40% Increase! The best campaigns that they launched were based on Upspring's insights.
2. Higher Creative Hit Rate – Slimz dramatically increased the percentage of new ads that perform above benchmark.
3. Smarter Competitive Positioning – With real-time insights into rivals’ strategies, Slimz stays one step ahead.
4. Confidence & Direction – Upspring.ai became the brand’s “north star,” guiding them through the constant demand for new winning ideas.
“For us, Upspring is a compass. It shows us the threads and patterns that lead to smarter decisions. Every week, it points us in the right direction.”
In an industry where 90% of ads fail, Slimz uses Upspring.ai to identify the 10% that win—and scale them. By blending competitive intelligence, creative performance analysis, and AI-powered insights, Slimz transformed creative production from guesswork into a proof- based roadmap.
For Slimz, Upspring.ai isn’t just a tool but a compass. It’s a partner in turning creativity into predictable growth.
Slimz is a successful fashion brand built around one mission: making women feel confident, comfortable, and stylish without compromise.
