This is an instinctive and easy-to-use platform. I like the background remover, ad set creator, and templates. I don't use any other tools with it, it's enough to use by itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The Brief? The CSV upload function isn't as instinctive and easy as I thought it would be. It's possible to set up a lot of different version, but in the end you have to manually customize each one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering The Brief: They're a really great company. Very quick to reply and give me good ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The Brief solving and how is that benefiting you? Ad creation for PPC advertising. I've created several hundred ads with it and deployed them online. I get a good CPA cost and ROI and it makes the creative process faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for taking time to review our platform! We are very glad to see that you enjoy using our Creatopy and that it helped you optimizing your workflow and increasing your productivity! With the CSV file it's more easier to load your images, texts, etc. into the design, so you don't have to manually replace them for every change. We are constantly working on upgrades and fine tuning, but at the moment the Feed ad builder still requires manual adjusting to place every asset in the desired position. If you have any questions, you can always contact us on our live chat anytime and let us know! 2/21/2025 Current UserValidated ReviewerSource: Organic ![Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain](/assets/icons/anonymous-avatar-purple-4ae1032bdb50ee5682003170c8184aee790d25958bd397abbd384ba52c596a7b.svg "Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain") AL Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/26/2021 "Design HTML5 ads like a pro!" 4.5/5 What do you like best about The Brief? This program is very easy to use, from novices to pros. There are many templates to choose from that are already great looking and ready to customize, or you can build your own using their ad builder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The Brief? Sometimes global changes are not necessary. Unfortunately, if you started building out your ads and have this feature enabled, you cannot add a component to only one of the ads. It adds this component to all sizes whether you like it or not. You will have to go back and delete the component from all the other sizes manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The Brief solving and how is that benefiting you? I am not proficient enough to custom code HTML5 ads, this program allows me to do all the design (which I am proficient at) and takes care of all the backend coding. This is a tremendous time and money saver as I no longer need to farm this work out to freelancers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Co-founder/Creative Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/29/2021 "Super Simple - Fun Results" 4.5/5 What do you like best about The Brief? The most valuable part of this platform is its ease of use. I can generate a quick ad in under 15 minutes, download it in a few seconds, and have it up and running flawlessly in under 1/2 hour. It lets me upload all of my brand credentials (fonts/colors/logos) — time-saving when creating a new ad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The Brief? Downside: Using "embed code" for HTML5 (non-ad) designs on my website. Creatopy inserts ad code somewhere; thus, ad-blocking software hides them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The Brief solving and how is that benefiting you? We can create motion graphic style ads on a small budget, making our brand image on-trend with a polished, pro-agency look.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us! We are happy to see that our design platform has helped you increase your productivity and optimize your workflow! The ad-blocking software usually verifies the HTML scripts on a web-page and filters them, if the source appears in a filtering list the embed loading will unfortunately get blocked.

I like the ability to have our team members all in one space where we can collaborate on creative assets. We are able to place our brand assets into the platform so we can easily add logos, text and colours to our pieces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The Brief?

This went on for a few weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is The Brief solving and how is that benefiting you?

Intuitive editing tools, lots of templates to start with, automatic saving and collaborative editing, makes this tool a must for our agency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are happy to hear that you enjoy using our app and it’s of great use to you! As I understand from your message, you are unable to resize or crop an image. That should not happen, as Bannersnack offers the possibility to crop/resize the image as you would like. Maybe you added the image on your background layer. That is the only time when you will not be able to resize it. Other than that, if you add a new layer, and insert the image there, you will be able to edit it properly. We hope that this info helps!
