"Recent launches skew toward AI-heavy execution and validation rather than basic media buying: Playad automates cross-platform campaign creation, creative testing, and reporting; Tractionwave helps teams preflight visuals with attention heatmaps; and Fraud Blocker protects spend with real-time invalid-traffic detection. Around them, newer entrants span creative generation, workflow-native auditing, and unconventional ad inventory."

What marketing tools are people actually using?

From what I am seeing across communities, here is what the tool stack looks like right now.

The Core Stack

Email & Capture: Mailchimp for launch updates and email sequences . Carrd for quick, clean launch-specific landing pages . Pre-launch tools like LaunchBuddy and Prefundia to build a waitlist and gather early feedback before you even hit the Product Hunt button .

Social & Scheduling: Buffer or Hootsuite to keep a consistent presence across X, LinkedIn, and Threads without it taking over your entire day . Canva for generating graphics that do not look like you threw them together in five minutes .

What tools do you use for setting up social media promo campaigns?

I've been in social media marketing for nearly five years, but with AI advancing, I suspect my role in ad setup may soon become unnecessary.

I used to set up promo campaigns manually using native platform tools (which already applied some AI, like automated texts or ad placement, viz. Facebook Business Manager).

Are you even running paid ads?

I feel like most people on Product Hunt are too afraid to run paid ads.
Meanwhile, it's been one of the biggest drivers of growth at all the startups and projects I've worked on.
I'm super curious on what everyone's relationship is like with paid ads?
We've rebuilt Fastlane from the ground up to be the world's first end to end AI agent for paid ads, so would love to understand this especially!
