Scale video creative while generating creative insights

Koala has partnered with Smartly.io for more than three years to force-multiply their social advertising by enacting large-scale account management operations through a range of quality-of-life and optimization features.

Koala wanted to promote their new product launches with video creatives on Facebook and Instagram. However, producing multiple creatives with varying messages proved to be time-consuming and require a long lead time with their in-house design team. After learning about Smartly.io's Modular Video Creative, the Design team at Koala wanted to implement it into their campaigns.

Increase creative velocity

  • Reduce current 2-week lead time for creative production
  • Iterate data-driven creatives at a faster rate
  • Obtain real-time insights
By adopting their modular solution we have been able to produce creatives at scale, test different versions to determine the best performing ones, while also allowing us to focus more of our efforts on strategy and performance.

Creatives: easy to automate, easy to iterate

1. Automate creative production with Smartly.io’s technology and testing methodology

2. Obtain real-time insights from improved creative velocity

Koala leveraged Smartly.io's Modular Video to scale video creative, test messaging systematically, and to obtain real-time insights through reporting.

Koala was set up for success in the training, support and on-going consultation with their Smartly.io Customer Success Manager and Creative Team. With 24 video creatives in market, the Performance Team was able to pinpoint high performing and low performing 'modules', messaging and combinations of both. Following the success of this initial campaign, Koala has expanded the use of Video Modular Creative to all other products and will replicate the process for the Japanese market.
