Creatify raises $15.5 million in Series A funding to expand its AI platform that generates video ads from product links. The company introduces AdMax, a system that automates ad creation, testing, and optimization based on real-time performance data. With over 1.5 million users and $9 million in ARR, Creatify aims to simplify digital advertising for teams worldwide.
$15.5M and a Clear Message: Creatify Means Business
Creatify has secured $15.5 million in Series A funding. The round is co-led by WndrCo and Kindred Ventures. Additional backers include Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, Millennium New Horizons, Creator Ventures, Leadout Capital, Hat-Trick Capital, and The MBA Fund.
Jeffrey Katzenberg, co-founder of DreamWorks and a Founding Partner at WndrCo, joins Creatify’s board. He noted that Creatify is not just simplifying video ad production but changing how advertising operates in a market where brand visibility must be constant.
From Startup Mission to 1.5 Million Users in 18 Months
Launched eighteen months ago, Creatify began with a specific goal: to make ad creation more accessible. Traditional video ad production involved weeks of work, high costs, and full creative teams. Creatify built an AI-powered generator that turns product links into video ads in minutes, requiring a fraction of the time and cost.
The platform has grown to over 1.5 million users and more than 10,000 active teams globally. In that time, it surpassed $9 million in annual recurring revenue.
Key milestones:
- Over 1.5 million users
- 10,000+ teams using the platform
- $9M ARR in 18 months
Teams like NewsBreak use Creatify to produce video creatives in minutes. Zumper creates over 1,000 video ads monthly. RingWave Media saw a 410% increase in lead generation and doubled its sales using Creatify.
Why Traditional Ad Creation Is Broken—and How Creatify Fixes It
Video ads have long required significant investment in time and resources. Campaigns often lacked proper testing, validation, or data feedback, creating a cycle of guesswork. Users reported difficulties in managing creative assets, slow manual testing, and challenges in identifying what drives actual performance.
Creatify streamlined this workflow. By inputting a product URL, users receive video ad content that is ready for deployment across channels. The platform eliminates bottlenecks in creative development and lowers the threshold for entry in performance marketing.

Meet AdMax: Your AI-Powered Marketing Partner That Never Sleeps
AdMax is Creatify’s latest product release and marks a broader shift in its platform strategy. AdMax functions as a system that automates not just creation, but also strategy and optimization.
AdMax capabilities include:
- Monitoring market performance trends
- Generating ad creatives tailored to those trends
- Running automated A/B tests
- Iterating campaigns based on live performance data
Designed in collaboration with marketers, creators, and technologists, AdMax integrates feedback loops that adjust campaigns without requiring constant human input. It replaces fragmented creative workflows with an intelligent system that refines itself.
AI + Advertising = Smarter, Not Just Faster Campaigns
Creatify is no longer just a creative tool. With AdMax, the platform functions as a continuous optimization engine. The goal is not only to generate ads quickly but to ensure those ads perform against measurable criteria.
Zumper’s ability to produce thousands of monthly ads reflects the platform’s scale. RingWave’s 410% increase in leads and 200% rise in sales demonstrate performance alignment. Creatify adapts to what works and discards what doesn’t, which users previously struggled to manage manually.
A Team Built for Scale—and the Road Ahead
The team behind Creatify includes veterans from Meta, Snap, and Airbnb. These backgrounds support the platform’s product development, machine learning models, and marketing strategy.
With the new funding, Creatify plans to increase investment in research and development. The company is also expanding its customer success efforts. Hiring is underway across multiple departments. Interested candidates are directed to Creatify’s careers page.
What This Means for Marketers, Agencies, and Brands Now

Brands and agencies using Creatify can:
- Produce high-converting video ads from product links in minutes

With a growing user base and expanded capabilities, Creatify positions itself as a system that adapts alongside its customers’ campaigns.
