Creative approval software for paid ad teams
Review every paid ad in one place: pin feedback on the creative, preview the real placement, and collect an explicit decision with one reviewer link.
Bring creatives in from Figma and Canva. Ping reviewers in Slack, Teams or Google Chat. Preview every Meta placement before a euro is spent.
Approval usually scatters across five places
Feedback ends up everywhere except on the creative. So the wrong version ships, and nobody is sure who approved it.
Screenshots pasted into replies, the actual decision buried three messages down.
A fresh PDF every round, none of them the creative that actually runs.
Who signed off on which version, kept by hand and always a little out of date.
Everything a review needs, in one link
One link. Every decision
Reviewers open the link, see the creative exactly as it will run, and leave their decision. No logins, no exports, no 40-message threads.
Annotate on the exact frame
Pins stick to the creative, on video to the exact second. Placement previews show the ad in feed, story and reel before a euro is spent.
Reviewers need no account
Every reviewer gets a personal magic link. They open it in any browser, on desktop or phone, and leave their decision. No signup, no password, no seat to buy.
Every format, previewed for real
See the creative exactly as it runs. Feed, story, reels, marketplace and explore, each rendered in its real placement before it goes live.
Versions and notifications
Upload v2 and every reviewer gets their personal link again, pointed straight at the new version, with the full history in view.
Works with the loop
Approve, launch, measure, scale: approval is step one. Approved creatives land preselected in the nod. Performance campaign builder, copy included, ready to launch on Meta and Google.
