What is SOMIN?

SOMIN is an AI marketing-intelligence company. It turns what competitors publish into decisions: which message is taken, which is free, and which concept is likely to work before money is spent.

According to SOMIN's own company data, the platform listens to every competitor ad, post and creator in a category. Its AI agents then follow a fixed research process, so each insight, brief and concept can be traced to its source. SOMIN states that a typical brief becomes scored ideas in about 13 minutes.

The company serves three groups:

• Advertising and media agencies, for pitches, reporting and strategy — see SOMIN for agencies.
• Brand marketing teams, for competitor watching and briefing — see SOMIN for brands.
• Creator and affiliate programmes, for creator selection and sales-focused briefs — see SOMIN for creators.
