What Ad Layer is
Ad Layer is a platform for designing, producing, reviewing, and publishing advertising creative. Available through web and API access, it brings those stages together for brands and agencies. Its Ad Builder provides drag and drop design, animation tools, and guidelines for social ads. Campaigns can generate different messages or language versions, either manually or from a data feed. The maker says a connected feed can be used to create thousands of ads across channels.
The platform supports animated HTML5 display ads, animated GIFs, video, social ads, and digital out of home content. Channels named by the company include Meta, TikTok, YouTube, DOOH, and banners. Review Hub brings pending creative reviews into one view, where reviewers can approve work or comment for its creator. Finished creatives can be downloaded or sent to another platform through Ad Layer APIs.
Ad Layer was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. It is a product of Essential Marketing Methods Nordic AB, which the company describes as privately owned and independent, and says the platform is made by its Stockholm team. Subscription pricing is available on request. The site invites prospective customers to book a demo, which it describes as free, and says its experts can help tailor setup to a team's workflow.
