Step map
Instead of relying on a single generic AI model, this pipeline connects specialized tools to maximize quality. First, you'll use StackAdapt to a segmentation matrix that ties each audience to specific channels and creative formats. Then, you pass the output to Celtra to a structured library of visual and textual elements, ready for dynamic combination. Then, you pass the output to Celtra to a set of dynamic templates with element-level rules that govern creative combinations. Then, you pass the output to Celtra to a full set of generated ad variants, quality-checked and ready for delivery. Finally, AdFinity is used to a live campaign where budget is dynamically shifted to the highest-performing creative combinations.
Audience & Channel Segmentation

Performance-Based Optimization & Bid Adjustment
A live campaign where budget is dynamically shifted to the highest-performing creative combinations.
Define target audience segments based on demographics, behaviors, and purchase intent. Map each segment to the most relevant ad channels (e.g., Meta, Google, Programmatic) and specify the creative formats (image, video, carousel) each channel supports. This ensures that later creative variations are built for the right people in the right places.
Why StackAdapt: StackAdapt provides audience targeting and campaign management capabilities that align with audience segmentation needs, and its platform supports channel-specific targeting.
Gather all raw creative components: background images/videos, product shots, logos, headlines, body copy, CTAs, and offers. Organize them into modular libraries so they can be mixed and matched. This step is the foundation for dynamic assembly—without a clean library, automation will produce inconsistent results.
Why Celtra: Celtra includes multi-market localization and creative asset management capabilities, which can serve as a digital asset library for organizing creative files.
Design ad templates in your dynamic creative tool (e.g., Google Web Designer, Adobe Creative Cloud Express, or platform-native DCO tools) with placeholders for images, text, and CTAs. Set rules for which elements can swap (e.g., background image changes per audience segment) and which remain fixed (e.g., logo position). This transforms static mockups into flexible frameworks.
Why Celtra: Celtra is a dynamic creative optimization platform that enables template configuration for multi-market and multi-channel ad variants.
Feed the asset library and templates into your DCO tool to automatically generate hundreds or thousands of ad variants. The system combines different backgrounds, headlines, offers, and CTAs according to the rules. Review a sample of generated variants to catch obvious mismatches (e.g., a winter background paired with a summer headline) before launch.
Why Celtra: Celtra specializes in dynamic creative optimization and automated video production, enabling batch generation of creative variants.
Launch the variants into live campaigns with a small initial budget to gather performance data. After 48-72 hours, analyze which combinations (e.g., headline + image + offer) yield the highest CTR, conversion rate, or ROAS. Use platform-level bid optimization to allocate more spend to winning variants and pause underperformers. This step closes the loop from creative to business outcome.
Why AdFinity: AdFinity combines dynamic creative optimization with real-time bid management, directly supporting performance-based bid adjustments.
§ Before you start
Teams or solo builders working on marketing tasks who want a repeatable process instead of one-off tool experiments.
No. Start with the top pick for each step, then replace tools only if they do not fit your pricing, compliance, or output needs.
Open the mapped task page and compare top options side by side. Prioritize output quality, integration fit, and predictable cost before scaling.
