This just in: 4% of marketers live under a rock. Swipe to see if you're using AI like everyone else ➡️
Though 96% of marketers use AI, only 26% of teams understand AI well, according to WFA in Marketing Week.
In 2027, upskilling teams and increasing adoption will be top priorities for marketers. What are yours?
hey so no matter how many times you remind AI to REFERENCE THE BRAND PDF, it still won't know how to use it (unless you do this 👇)
"Yellow is our energetic accent" reads fine to a designer who can figure out how fill in the rest. But AI just reads the hex and guesses the rest ... which is why your content never comes back 100% on-brand.
The fix is giving your AI instructions, not descriptions:
🚫 "Yellow is our energetic accent"
✅ "Yellow never backgrounds more than 15% of a frame"
🚫 "Use the logo consistently"
✅ "Never place the ink logo on maroon"
🚫 "Photography should feel warm and real"
✅ "Hard directional light, warm grade, real kitchens with visible mess"

Our #1 tip for using SecretSauce: spend 20 ish minutes filling in your Brand Brain. Your Brand Brain is a living doc of your brand rules that SecretSauce automatically calls before creating anything.
3 things to add to your Brand Brain right now 👇
1. 𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬.
Screenshots of ads you love, moodboards, competitor content that nails it, your own best-performing posts. The more visual proof of "this is us," the less SecretSauce has to guess.
2. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬.
The hard nos and the always-dos. Never use stock imagery. Always show the product in-hand. Copy stays under 8 words. Whatever your non-negotiables are, they belong here so you stop having to enforce them prompt by prompt.
3. 𝐅𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬, 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐨𝐬.
Upload the real files. Hex codes, the exact fonts (with usage rules for headline vs body), your logo variations. This is what stops SecretSauce from inventing a version of your brand every single time.

Nobody warned you that AI would redraw your logo 400 different ways and call each one "on-brand" 🫠
That's what Asset Cards fix. It's the one SecretSauce feature that changes how you work more than any other.
An Asset Card locks a reference (your logo, a product shot, an avatar, a font) as fixed material. SecretSauce reproduces it faithfully every time instead of redrawing it.
3 worth building on day one:
𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬.
Upload a clean reference photo with accurate color, shape, and packaging. White background works best. If your photo is messy, SecretSauce cleans it up first, then locks the clean version.
𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬.
Refine the person you want in your UGC content before generating anything. Age, hair, outfit, voice, cadence. The more defined the card, the more consistent they look across every video and post.
𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬.
Lock a specific look (photography style, graphic design vibe, color treatment) so your overall aesthetic stays on-brand across every generation. Upload a few references, ask SecretSauce to turn them into a Style Card, done.
Rule of thumb: if you're describing the same product, person, or look more than twice, that's your sign to make it a card.

Trend-jacking is the easiest way to boost your account's reach. We went through Creative Radar, pulled what's blowing up on social media, and cut it down to 11 worth copying this month. Here's how:
1. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟭 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 blog:
2. 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻𝗲 and copy the blog section + the Instagram link
3. 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁 with this prompt: "clone this trending ad for my brand. Ask what inputs you need from me to make it nuanced."
4. 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 to your Instagram account using Social Planner.
5. 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗿 for more viral trends in your niche, clone them, and schedule them out.

Stay in Review Mode. Video eats way more credits than images, so you want to check in at every step before the next one runs.
Here's what to review at each checkpoint 👇
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝.
SecretSauce works out the concept and generates key frames for you. Approve the direction here before it writes a single line of script. A wrong concept caught now costs nothing to fix.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭.
Read it out loud. Suggest any changes before any voiceover or scene renders. Rewrites at this stage are free, rewrites after render are not.
𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞.
For longer pieces, generate one scene at a time instead of all at once. One bad frame in a full render cascades through everything after it. Build them one by one so a bad take doesn't take the good ones down with it.
Bonus: if something breaks, go back to the last scene that worked, tap revert, and keep building. No starting over.
