Executive Summary

Advertisers and agencies today face a productivity choke: platforms demand dozens of short-form, vertical video variants per campaign but manual production is slow, costly and quickly suffers creative fatigue that erodes CPM/CPA performance. This pain is acute across 15 million active advertisers who are reallocating budgets to Reels/TikTok and need scalable ways to refresh creatives without ballooning spend. You could build an AI-first creative platform that automatically generates brand-consistent, platform-formatted short-form ad creatives — producing dozens of tested variants (visuals, hooks, captions, aspect ratios) per brief, and integrating with ad platforms to run and learn from A/B tests. The product would combine generative video, a creative-performance predictor, and workflow tools for agencies and in-house teams to quickly iterate and ship winners at a fraction of current time and cost. The market looks attractive: a $6.0B serviceable market (15M advertisers × $400 ACV) with a Market Score of 88/100 and Revenue Potential 84/100, driven by rapid short-form video adoption and growing willingness to pay for tools that materially improve ad ROI. As brands shift more budget into reels/TikToks and experiment at scale, demand for high-volume, high-quality creatives will only increase. You can differentiate by delivering demonstrable performance lift (predictive scoring and automated A/B optimization), tight ad-platform integrations, and brand-safe generative models that lower per-creative cost versus agencies; focusing on agencies and mid-market brands first reduces go-to-market friction. Challenges are real — medium competition, the need for strong creative/data expertise, and compliance/privacy constraints — but with clear metrics of uplift and a focused early segment this idea has practical legs to become a high-margin SaaS business.
