What is creative automation?

Creative automation is producing many on-brand assets from a single template instead of designing each one by hand. You build a master design, mark the parts that change, then generate every size, language and variation automatically from a spreadsheet, an API call or a no-code workflow.

What is a creative automation platform?

It is the software that runs that process end to end: a template editor, a render engine for images, PDFs and video, and the integrations that trigger and deliver the output. Orshot combines all three, so marketers work no-code and developers work through the API from the same templates.

What is the difference between creative automation and a creative management platform (CMP)?

A CMP focuses on storing, organizing and approving brand assets. Creative automation focuses on producing them at scale from templates. Orshot leans on production: one design in, hundreds of on-brand assets out, published or delivered wherever you need them.

Is creative automation the same as dynamic creative optimization (DCO)?

No. DCO swaps ad elements in real time based on who is viewing. Creative automation generates the finished assets up front. You can use Orshot to mass-produce the variations a DCO or ad platform then serves.

How much does a creative automation platform cost?

Orshot starts free with 30 credits and no credit card. Paid plans are flat and self-serve, and the API, integrations and no-code workflows are included from the start rather than locked behind a higher tier.

Do I need a designer or code to use it?

Neither. A marketer can generate variations from a spreadsheet or a no-code workflow, and a developer can render from the API with a few lines of code. The same templates power both.

Design
