Social ads
Ads get approved in a spreadsheet and then fail in a feed
Send the whole set as one link. Each ad renders at platform dimensions, in feed context, the way a person will actually encounter it. Your client comments on the creative itself. No account, no signup, no zip file.

Hook reads late on this one. Can the first line sit higher, above the fold of the crop?

You know this loop
Export eighteen variants. Rename them so the client can tell them apart. Zip them, or drop them in a Drive folder, or paste them into a deck. Send it. Wait.
What comes back is a Slack message that says “love 3 and 7, not sure about the rest,” or a spreadsheet with a comments column, or a reply that references “the blue one” when four of them are blue.
Then you rebuild, rename, re-export, and send again. Twice more before anything runs.
The creative was never the problem. The problem is that everyone approved a set of static rectangles and nobody saw an ad.
Context is most of the review
An ad only works in one place: a feed, surrounded by other content, competing with a thumb moving at speed. Viewed as a rectangle in a slide, the questions you need answered cannot even be asked.
Does it stop a scroll. Is the hook readable before someone passes it. Does the text hold up at the size it will actually appear. Is the logo legible or is it only legible at 200%.
Honter shows each ad at platform dimensions in feed context, so the client answers those questions instead of judging a JPEG.

At platform dimensions, next to real content. Now the questions can be asked.
Built for the way ads are actually made
Nobody sends one ad. You send a set, and the set is the unit that gets approved.
Upload the whole batch to one project and send one link. Your client moves through them, comments on the specific ones they mean, and the note lands on the creative rather than on a filename. When a note says “this one,” there is no ambiguity about which one.
Pinned to the creative
Comments land on the exact ad and the exact spot, not in a thread that references it.
Voice notes, transcribed
Clients who would rather talk than type can leave a voice comment on any pin. Honter transcribes it.
Everyone in at once
Media buyer, brand lead, and copywriter can review at the same time and see each other’s pins live.
Round two without the renaming
Upload the new set as a version. Honter compares it against the last one, tracks which notes you have addressed, and flags when your client has not seen the latest.
The thing that disappears is the admin: no v2_final_FINAL naming, no re-explaining what changed, no wondering whether the feedback you got was against the current set or the one from Tuesday.
For the client who says “make it pop”
Most clients can tell when an ad is not landing and cannot always say why. That is not their job.
Honter gives them optional lenses they can reach for when they are stuck. One reads the ad as the person scrolling past would. One pressure-tests the claim being made. One flags jargon and hedging. One checks a whole set for contradictions, which matters more on ads than anywhere else, because eighteen variants written across three days drift.
Nothing appears unless your client asks for it. The AI never critiques your work on its own and never invents a revision. It helps your client say what they already think.
If you ship creative every week
Performance and social teams inside agencies. Studios running paid social for retainer clients. Freelancers producing ad sets at volume. Anyone whose review cycle happens weekly rather than quarterly, and who has felt the cost of that cycle being slow.
Questions
How do my clients review the ads?
They open one link. No account, no signup, nothing to install. They comment directly on the creative.
What formats can I upload?
Static images and video creative for social placements. Honter also handles decks, websites, emails, documents, and photoshoots in the same account.
Can I send a whole set at once?
Yes. Upload the batch as one project and send a single link. Comments attach to individual ads.
How do revisions work?
Upload the new set as a version. Honter compares it against the previous one and tracks which notes have been addressed.
Can I put my studio’s branding on it?
Yes. Pro includes your logo on client views and a custom subdomain.
Is it free?
Six projects free, with every format and every feedback lens. No credit card, no expiry. Pro is $19.99 per month for unlimited projects.
