About this tool

Advertising is Hard is a free hub for founders who run their own marketing. Strategy write-ups with receipts sourced from Reddit and X, 20 deep skills guides, 12 downloadable AI skill files that teach Claude and ChatGPT what the ad platforms changed in 2026, and an ad review library breaking down the best campaigns ever run. Funded by one honest mechanic: a public leaderboard where brands bid for rank and the board resets every 90 days.
