• …

Now, Creative Intelligence makes it possible to understand precisely how each aspect of your video influences campaign success, turning complexity into a competitive advantage.

What is Creative Intelligence in video advertising?

Creative Intelligence is the strategic use of data, artificial intelligence, and technology to improve the creative process and optimize ad campaigns.

By transforming creative elements into measurable data and linking them to performance indicators, Creative Intelligence reveals patterns in consumer behavior and engagement, guiding the creation of content that truly resonates.

Creative Intelligence doesn’t dictate the next big idea; it’s about augmenting the current marketing strategies and encouraging creative innovation.

Creative Intelligence offers a vital advantage for advertisers facing budget constraints.

As media budgets tighten, it enables teams to sustain or even boost overall performance by optimizing an often underused lever: creative.

New campaign optimization process

With AI-driven insights, creative post-production shifts from guesswork to a rich data-backed approach, helping teams make informed decisions about formats, lengths, sequencing … with audience, platform or device … granularity.

Combining traditional campaigns KPIs with creative insights generates creative decisions, such as producing longer, educational formats for older audiences and dynamic, fast-paced sequences for younger viewers.

This enables marketing teams to

• justify creative choices to stakeholders.
• leverage untapped creative ideas from insights and open new optimizations opportunities.
