Overview

An ad creative is any image, video, or copy asset used in a paid advertising campaign to communicate your product's value and drive a user action.

Ad Creative : Full Definition Ad creative is the actual content of your advertisement: the video, image, carousel, or interactive asset that a user sees.

It includes the visual treatment, the copy, the hook, the call-to-action, and the overall message framing.

Everything except the audience targeting and bid strategy is part of the creative.
