For years, advertiser activation didn’t stall because of budgets — it stalled because of creative. Advertisers wanted to spend, but couldn’t get assets produced fast enough, affordably enough, or at the level of quality they needed.
That bottleneck cost ad tech platforms countless campaigns and untold revenue.
But that reality has changed. Now, creative has transformed from bottleneck to catalyst. With AI video, platforms can fuel faster activation, accelerate spend, and turn creative into their most powerful revenue driver.
Why Accessible Video Creative Changes Everything
Fast, accessible creative isn’t convenience, it’s a competitive advantage.
- For advertisers: Video is the format of choice, but it’s historically been expensive and out of reach. AI levels the playing field, giving SMBs and enterprise brands alike the ability to show up with high-quality creative.
- For platforms: The faster advertisers generate creative, the faster they spend. Instant AI video enables advertisers to move seamlessly from sign-up to campaign launch, with no excuses, and gives platforms the opportunity to win back advertisers who walk away due to a lack of creative.
- For the industry: Platforms that remove the creative bottleneck will win market share. Those that don’t will see advertisers drift to competitors that make it easy.
5 Ways to Use Creative as a Revenue Engine
Advertisers no longer need to wait weeks for production. With AI video, a website or email address is enough to generate ready-to-air video ad creative in minutes. That means campaigns launch faster, churn is reduced, and platforms stop losing advertisers to the creative gap.
When creative powers growth, every campaign becomes a revenue opportunity.
Here are five practical ways platforms can put AI video to work today to drive revenue and retention at every stage:
# 1: Onboard Advertisers Instantly
- Old way: New advertisers sign up, but creative delays keep campaigns from launching.
- New way: With AI video, a URL or business name is enough to auto-generate campaign-ready video in minutes.
- Result: Higher activation rates, faster revenue capture, less drop-off at the start.
# 2: Arm Your Sales Team With Spec Ads
- Old way: Sales pitches stall without examples to show prospects.
- New way: Sales reps generate personalized spec ads instantly for every lead.
- Result: Shorter sales cycles, stronger close rates, and fewer prospects lost to “creative isn’t ready.”
# 3: Keep Campaigns Fresh With Auto-Refresh
- Old way: Campaigns fatigue because creative refreshes are too slow and costly.
- New way: AI generates new ad variations instantly, keeping campaigns relevant.
- Result: Advertisers stay live longer, spend more consistently, and churn less.
# 4: Win Back Lapsed Accounts at Scale
- Old way: Reactivating advertisers requires expensive, manual creative work.
- New way: Platforms generate fresh video ads automatically and use them as reactivation hooks.
- Result: Advertisers return with lower effort, and dormant accounts turn back into revenue.
# 5: Unlock Video for New Segments
- Old way: SMBs and mid-market advertisers couldn’t afford professional video.
- New way: AI makes cinematic-quality video accessible to everyone.
- Result: Entirely new pools of advertisers enter video for the first time, driving incremental revenue.
