How to Build a Creative with Ad Builder

Ad Builder turns one piece of source content into a whole set of on-brand ads. It has three steps — Setup → Spread → Pack — and most packs take under five minutes to build.

Step 1 — Setup: pick a brand and a hero

Open Ad Builder from the sidebar and pick a brand. The brand unlocks the spread — every ad inherits its logos, palette, fonts, and copy defaults automatically.

Pick a brand

Next choose your hero — the content your ads are built around:

  • Videos — brand videos already in your library

  • Import — social posts you've imported (organic or dark posts both work)

  • Motion — AI-animated versions of still images

  • Clip — clipped segments; Smart clip pulls the strongest segment from a longer video automatically

Setup with hero library

Step 2 — Spread: your hero in every format

Click Continue and your hero appears across every format family:

  • CTV — 1920×1080 connected-TV spots with social framing and a QR code

  • OLV — online video for pre-roll and mid-roll (VAST)

  • L-Bar — video with an L-shaped branded frame (also called a squeezeback)

  • Overlay — a branded layer over the video

  • Pause — pause-ad layouts for streaming

  • Display — HTML5 banners in all IAB sizes: 970×250, 728×90, 336×280, 320×480, 320×50, 300×250, 300×50, 300×600, 250×250, 160×600, plus custom sizes

Spread — CTV

Each family shows live variants. Add one with +, or grab the whole family with Add all. Mix families freely — one pack can hold CTV, pause, and display together, all sharing the same brand, hero, and copy.

Customize

The panel on the right adjusts copy, CTA, tagline, caption, and layout (framed post / edge-to-edge / story / banner-only). Basic mode edits every size in the pack at once; Pro unlocks per-size control: copy, logo, background, crop & layout, social skin (platform chrome), and display extras.

Step 3 — Pack: review and build

The pack is your build list. Rename creatives, click Edit variant for last-mile tweaks, Remove what you don't need — then hit Build the pack.

Pack

Rendering runs in the background; watch progress in Creatives → Render Queue. Finished ads land in your Creatives library, ready to preview, share, and tag.
