About CreativeX

CreativeX is a B2B SaaS technology platform that helps global marketing teams make smarter creative decisions and elevate creative expression through data. Our technology powers creative decision-making at brands including Google, Unilever, Pepsi, Bayer, Mondelez, Heineken, and more.

We use computer vision and other machine learning techniques to extract creative data from our client’s digital advertising copy and transform those signals into a standardised data model at scale. This creates a first-party data set that represents the last and most impactful untapped reservoir of advertising performance.

CreativeX provides an end-to-end solution to ingest, process, and analyse content at scale, enabling brands to isolate creative elements and analyse them against downstream ad impact metrics, from clickthrough rates to brand lift.

Our objective is to help marketing organisations power every creative decision with data.
