Dynamic creatives enable you to create efficient, targeted advertising campaigns by utilizing data to inform specific elements within an individual creative. This includes promotional offers, sports scores, directions to a nearby retailer, stock prices, traffic patterns or local weather conditions.
Historically, supporting dynamic creatives at scale within digital out-of-home (DOOH) has been challenging due to custom requirements within each media owner’s CMS/player. Our solution eliminates the complexity of supporting dynamic creatives at scale. Instead of having to develop a custom creative for each media owner, our dynamic rendering service will convert the creative into an image in real-time. This approach allows for maximum supply on a dynamic campaign, while also reducing the overhead required for setup and testing.
Vistar’s dynamic creative solution
There are two components to Vistar’s dynamic creative offering:
- Dynamic rendering service: Technology that converts a dynamic creative into an image based on inputs defined in each creative. Our dynamic creative spec outlines creative requirements in order to be compatible with our rendering service.
- Vistar’s Creative Studio: In addition to the technology required to support dynamic creative at scale, we also offer creative design and building services to ensure your dynamic creative is built effectively for DOOH. Services include: design consultation and proposal, dynamic creative development, and access to 3rd party data feeds. For more information on pricing, please refer to the rate cards attached here.
