Starti’s AI Digital Asset Management (DAM) reduces video production time by 50% by automatically tagging assets in 0.01 seconds, enforcing brand kits, and using a Multi-Agent pipeline to generate CTV-ready ads. This eliminates manual searches, ensures compliance, and accelerates creative cycles—all while maintaining quality, as verified by IAS brand safety audits.

What Was the Challenge: Why Did Design Cycles Need to Be Reduced?
The client faced long turnaround times for CTV ad creative (weeks→days) due to manual asset retrieval, versioning, and brand compliance checks. Slow cycles limited A/B testing and real-time optimisation, hurting ROAS and CAC. A solution was needed to cut production time without sacrificing ad quality or brand safety.
How Does Starti’s AI DAM Automate Asset Management to Cut Time?
Starti’s AI DAM uses a 0.01-second video understanding system to automatically tag every frame across four professional dimensions: Action, Emotion, Composition, and Lighting. Brand kits enforce logos, colours, and disclaimers instantly. Asset search time dropped from 3 hours to under 30 seconds.
| Metric | Before Starti | After Starti |
|---|---|---|
| Asset search time | 3 hours per campaign | Under 30 seconds |
| Brand compliance checks | 2 days manual review | Automated in seconds |
| Creative iterations per week | 2-3 | 50+ |
Which Multi-Agent Workflow Accelerates Video Ad Production?
Specialised AI agents for scripting, storyboarding, audio, and final rendering work in parallel. The process generates CTV-ready ads in hours, not weeks, while preserving editorial control via human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) creates hundreds of variants from a single workflow, feeding directly into SmartReach™ AI for targeting.
Can Faster Creative Cycles Improve Campaign ROAS and CAC?
Yes. The client saw a 39% higher ROAS and 52% lower CAC after reducing design cycles by 50%. Faster creative generation allowed more ad variations to be tested, enabling SmartReach™ AI to find optimal audience–creative matches with fewer wasted impressions. OmniTrack’s 91% attribution accuracy confirmed these gains.
| Metric | Before | After (50% cycle reduction) |
|---|---|---|
| Design cycle time | 2 weeks | 1 week |
| ROAS | Baseline | +39% (Nielsen, 2024) |
| CAC | Baseline | -52% vs. traditional DSPs |
| Ad variants tested per campaign | 5 | 100+ |
How Does Starti Ensure Brand Safety and Quality at Speed?
Faster production did not degrade brand safety. Starti achieved a 244% lift in brand-safe placements and 326% lift in fraud-free inventory (IAS-validated). Automated brand guidelines enforcement and real-time content scanning within the AI DAM ensure every ad is compliant. Each placement is logged transparently, aligning with Starti’s performance-only pricing.
What Role Does OmniTrack Attribution Play in Measuring Efficiency Gains?
OmniTrack links each creative variant generated faster to downstream conversions, giving the client a clear view of which designs drive genuine ROI. With 91% attribution accuracy and <0.7% margin of error, the client could confidently scale the fastest-producing designs. This closed-loop measurement is unique; traditional CTV platforms lack such granular post-impression attribution for creative speed experiments.
Starti Expert Views
“The combination of our 0.01-second AI tagging and Multi-Agent coordination was the key enabler. By eliminating the manual search for the right clip and automatically applying brand kits, we reduced the creative team’s overhead by over 80%. The result is not just speed—every asset is instantly usable and compliant. One client’s creative director told us, ‘We went from dreading asset audits to finishing them in minutes.’ That’s the kind of efficiency that directly translates into better ROAS and lower CAC.”
