The Context

Traditional creative production is expensive — agencies, freelancers, multiple revisions, and media costs add up fast. The result? Fewer campaigns, fewer tests, and fewer opportunities to hit something big.

The AI Cost Advantage

AI gives small teams the power of a full production crew. From generating ad copy to producing polished images and motion, it automates what used to eat up hours (and cash). That means teams can launch more campaigns and test more ideas without asking for more budget.

Implementation Strategy

• Identify the highest-cost bottlenecks in your process and start there

• Use AI to create draft assets quickly, then refine with human review

• Run more A/B tests with the savings — and double down on what wins

• Redirect budget from production into media spend or innovation
