Why sugarLENS exists
JUSTADDSUGAR has produced social media content and ad creatives for brands for years. The question after every campaign was the same: which asset worked, and why? The answer sat scattered across five ad managers, spreadsheets and gut feeling.
sugarLENS grew out of that work. It pulls the numbers from every platform into one dashboard, ranks each creative on the metric it was bought for, and has an AI watch the best and weakest videos to explain what makes the difference. Those patterns become learnings that feed the next brief.
What sugarLENS does
A performance dashboard across Meta, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat and Reddit with spend, impressions, clicks, watch time, engagement and conversions, filterable by period, country and campaign status.
Rankings of every creative by watch time, engagement rate, CPC or cost per order depending on the campaign goal, against benchmarks from the account itself and from the JUSTADDSUGAR portfolio.
AI analysis of top and low performers: hook, structure, pacing, brand moment, with a plain-language reason and recommendations on what to repeat and what to avoid.
Plus demographics and countries, organic performance, community management, competitor benchmarks, forecasts, media planning and a monthly report as a slide deck.
