🔒 Register free to see the ad spend, reach, the video and all Luksushund’s adsRequest removalWe found 52 food & drink ads from 43 brands whose main market is Denmark and that ran for 60 days or more on Facebook and Instagram. Brands only keep paying for ads that sell, so a long run is the best public sign that an ad works.
Half of them ran longer than 62 days, shorter than the 63-day median for food & drink ads across Europe, and 4% passed six months. The longest has been running for 256 days.
Most run on Facebook and Instagram (98%). The median ad text is 43 words long, and 71% use emoji. Sofie - Effektivt vægttab has the most long-running ads here (3), followed by Coffee perfect Danmark and Bodylab.dk.
Brands keep paying for these because they sell. A free account shows what each one may have cost, where it reached most people, and every other ad the brand runs.

Every night adthief.ai collects the Meta ads running in the EU and the UK and keeps the ads that have run for 60 days or more, one per creative. An ad counts for its main market, the country where it reached the most people. Markets and industries with fewer than 50 such ads get no page. Meta doesn’t publish spend or sales, so a long run stands in for “profitable”: a strong signal, not a guarantee. Data as of 8 November 2026.
We studied 10,796 Facebook and Instagram ads that ran for 60+ days in Europe: how long winners run, how long their copy is, and where they are placed.
