1 Challenge

Acquiring Users with Creative that Expresses the Brand

Makuake and Septeni wanted to acquire new users and increase sales while conveying more information to users through dynamic ads on Facebook and Instagram. To do so, they were looking to "optimize ad performance" and "maximize ad volume”. They were looking for more flexibility with their creatives to make it happen, but the native platform features and other third party creative tools were not enough and the quality was not satisfying.

2 Solution

Smartly.io's Image Templates Automates Creative Production without Compromising Brand Image

By using Smartly.io's image templates, they are now able to include information in the feed such as "number of supporters" and "days left (for the project)" in the creative which they previously were not able to do.

“The creative flexibility and ease of use for what Smartly offers is amazing and this has been contributing to performance improvements. In addition, whenever we had questions during the process, we received timely responses and careful support from the Smartly team through various ways, which made the adaptation very smooth.”
