Universal Ads, which enables brands of any size to create, buy, and measure ads across premium video, has launched a new in-platform ad creation tool that lets advertisers build commercials using generative AI in just minutes.
With no need for pre-existing video assets, businesses of any size can now tap into the premium world of television and create ready-to-air campaigns.
Since its launch in January, Universal Ads has been focused on making TV advertising as easy and accessible as social media advertising.
With its new AI-powered video generator, currently in beta, brands can upload their existing marketing materials or website content onto the Universal Ads platform to begin their ad creation. From there, they can refine the visuals, messaging, and more to create a polished 15-second ad.
“We often hear companies say they want to be on TV but don’t have commercials ready to air or the budget to make one,” said James Borow, Vice President of Product and Engineering at Universal Ads.
