Framework by NewForm

Framework by NewForm is a creative testing and analysis service for growth teams running paid social and video ads. It is best suited to content-led advertisers producing at least 20 creatives a month, particularly teams that need testing, analysis, and production briefs tied to brand and compliance rules. Its automated testing and cross-platform creative matching are compelling; its custom agency engagement and $50K monthly ad-spend minimum make it a poor fit for smaller advertisers or buyers seeking self-serve software.

Overview

Framework connects creative performance data to decisions about what to pause, scale, and make next. It tests ads against KPIs to a stated 95% confidence threshold, then analyzes the creative itself to explain results. That combination can help teams move beyond reporting which ad won toward understanding what to produce next.

The service is part of a custom agency engagement, not a self-serve product. That arrangement may suit advertisers wanting a scoped service around their creative operation, but it rules out teams looking for an independently purchased software subscription.

Key features

Automated testing and optimization

Framework launches creative tests, checks performance hourly, and tests to statistical significance against KPIs. When the data is clear, it can pause underperformers and scale winners automatically. Frequent checks and automated actions can reduce manual monitoring for high-volume teams, though teams that want to make every budget or creative decision themselves may prefer a less autonomous workflow.

Creative analysis and matching

AI vision and language analysis examines ad elements and explains why a creative performed well. Framework also matches the same creative across platforms by visual content, then combines performance data without relying on consistent filenames. That is useful for teams with large, inconsistently named archives; the value is less pronounced for advertisers running few creatives or only one platform.

Brand-aware briefs

Framework can use brand guidelines, compliance rules, performance data, competitor research, and a creative archive as context. It can turn account and competitor research into a ready-to-shoot brief or a Veo 3 prompt, with brand voice, disclaimers, and production notes. Including legal disclaimers, restricted claims, and regulated language gives compliance-conscious teams a way to carry those constraints into creative planning.

Pricing

Custom

Framework has custom pricing, scoped to ad spend and creative volume, for advertisers spending $50K+ a month. It is offered through a custom agency engagement rather than as self-serve software, so it is intended for teams prepared to discuss a tailored engagement, not buyers comparing fixed monthly subscriptions or trying a free tier.

Prospective customers can request a demo using a work email. The published threshold and engagement model are decisive constraints: advertisers below $50K in monthly ad spend should look elsewhere.

Platforms

Framework is a web product. Its product page says it launches creative across Meta, TikTok, and YouTube, and also describes Google in cross-platform examples. It is described as particularly suited to agencies and in-house teams on Meta.

Who it's for

Framework makes the most sense for content-led performance advertisers producing 20 or more creatives monthly, with at least $50K in monthly ad spend. Teams that need frequent testing, cross-platform creative comparisons, and briefs grounded in brand or compliance context have the clearest reason to consider it. Smaller advertisers, low-volume creative teams, and buyers who require self-serve access are not a fit for its stated model.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Hourly performance checks and automated pausing and scaling can reduce routine optimization work for teams testing many creatives.
• Pro: Visual matching combines cross-platform results without requiring consistent filenames, which helps when creative libraries are untidy.
• Pro: Brand and compliance context can carry disclaimers and restricted claims into briefs and prompts.
• Con: Custom agency engagement means it is not a self-serve software purchase.
• Con: The $50K monthly ad-spend minimum excludes smaller advertisers, even if they want its testing and analysis features.

Verdict

Choose Framework if your team produces creative at scale, spends at least $50K monthly on ads, and wants testing, cross-platform analysis, and brand-aware briefs within a custom agency engagement. Its strongest case is the link it makes between creative performance and the next production decision. Look elsewhere if you need self-serve software, fixed subscription pricing, or an option for a smaller ad budget.
