Case study · 2026-05-11

We built Mockingbird for Nexlytics first.

Nexlytics is Onwards Analytics' Power BI audit tool — a $9 self-serve product that scans your .pbix files. Like every small SaaS, it needed Meta ads. Like every founder running their own ads, we burned hours each week generating variants.

The internal tool that fixed that became Mockingbird. Before we extracted it, we ran 301 variants through it for Nexlytics. The three pairs below are real picks from our own selections table — same scrape, same brand-swap. In that internal run we uploaded the picks to Meta ourselves; Mockingbird today exports each finished ad for you to upload.

Spend less time fixing errors and more time delivering accurate reports with a $9 PBIX health check that flags risks.

Run a $9 PBIX Health Check

What this shows: Same template, identical structure. The variant inherits the layout discipline of Monte Carlo's ad without copying their brand. Headline rhythm: 'How [brand] [verb] [audience]'.

The Cost of Broken PBIX

PBIX issues can surface suddenly at any time — and often not when or where you're looking for them.

Run a $9 Health Check

What this shows: Loss-aversion angle, transposed cleanly. Monte Carlo's anxiety hook ('Bad Data') becomes Nexlytics's anxiety hook ('Broken PBIX'). Same emotional frequency, different problem.

PBIX for better reports

Learn to use Onwards Analytics' Nexlytics with your Power BI .pbix files for accurate reports, clear documentation, and verified offshore dev work.

Run a $9 PBIX Health Check

What this shows: The 'X for better Y' headline template. HubSpot teaches CAPI for ads — Nexlytics teaches PBIX for reports. Same structural payoff for a different buyer.

What this proves and what it doesn't.

It proves that the brand-swap engine produces variants you can actually ship — not just "looks AI" but "looks like your brand on a competitor's hook." Nexlytics shipped these to Meta and ran them in real campaigns.

What it doesn't prove yet: that this works for your brand. That's the trial. We give you 7 days at $9 to run your own competitors and decide for yourself whether your variants look like you or like someone wearing your colours.

Try it on your own competitors.
