Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about The Brief? Honestly, really just nitpicking here, but things like when you work on a creative asset it reorders the main page, you also can't save versions which would be great.

I have used Creatopy to create ads for several projects and have been very happy with the product. The platform is intuitive and easy to use and has many tools to help users create engaging and effective ads.

There are several aspects that could be improved. For example, the platform does not yet support all file formats, which limits its flexibility when working with other design programmes.
