Are my ads still running?

Brands often keep running creator videos after the license ends. Those are zombie ads. Find yours in Meta's Ad Library in one tap, see how many days they ran past your license, and send a ready-made email to get paid.

Step 01

Find your ads in the Ad Library

Fill in any of these. Each one becomes a one-tap search of active ads in every country.

Your nameInstagram handleBrands you've licensed content toSeparate brands with commas.

Your Ad Library links appear here as you type.

How to read what you find

1. Keep “Active ads” on
Your links already filter to active ads in all countries. A result here is running now.
2. Read “Started running on”
Each ad shows the day it started. You need it for step 2. Ads with several versions list it on each version.
3. Spot your video
Partnership ads show the brand “with” your name. Re-uploaded copies show only the brand, so open the brand links too and look for your face or voice.

Step 02

Did my license run out?

Use the end date in your contract and the “Started running on” date from the ad.

Step 03

Get paid

A polite but firm email: the facts, and 2 options for the brand. Edit anything before you send.

Your email appears here once step 2 shows an ad running past your license.

Lapse only builds links to Meta's public Ad Library; it never reads or stores what you find there. Not legal advice: your contract decides what you're owed. Read more in What are zombie ads?
