Updated November 11, 2026 · ranked from Meta's Ad Library order, recorded daily

The most active advertisers are Cuts (613), Comfrt (582) and Kitsch (575). Among the 4,534 ads our creative read has labelled, the most common format is UGC (40%), ahead of Product demo (34%). The hook used most is the callout hook (39% of the ads we have read). Half of them have been running for more than 34 days; the oldest, from CozyBand, started 1,717 days ago. Below, one ad per brand: the one that sits highest in that brand's own Ad Library order, as of November 11, 2026.

What ad formats work for instagram stories brands?
Of the 4,534 Instagram Stories ads we have labelled by format, 40% are UGC, 34% are Product demo, 9% are Animation and 7% are Talking head. A format that brands keep running is a format that pays for itself.
How long do Instagram Stories ads run?
Half of the Instagram Stories ads we track have been live for more than 34 days. The longest-running one is from CozyBand and started 1,717 days ago. Brands turn off what loses money, so a long run is the best public sign that an ad works.
How are these Instagram Stories ads ranked?
Each brand's live ads are listed in Meta's Ad Library by impressions. Ad Feed records that order every day, so "#1 of 49" means the ad Meta delivers most among the brand's 49 live ads. The page shows one ad per brand, the best placed first. Meta publishes no spend or revenue, and neither do we.
Can I see every ad, not only six?
Yes. An Ad Feed account shows all of them as videos with filters by niche, format, hook and funnel stage, the transcript and creative read of each ad, and alerts when a brand you follow launches something new. It starts with a 7-day free trial.
