Scale creative output without losing control

Scale ad output without new headcount, while the Brand Hub and approvals keep every ad on brand.

Sound familiar?

The problems we hear from CMOs and marketing leads

What CMOs and marketing leads tell us in our calls, and how Solid solves each one.

More output usually means more headcount

Today

Every new market, channel and test round asks for more editors, more freelancers or a bigger agency retainer.

With Solid

The footage you already own becomes that volume. Teams aim for two to three times the output with the same people.

Tools that nobody adopts

Today

A new tool gets invited to the whole team, gets tested for a week, then quietly dies.

With Solid

Start with one owner and one use case on your real footage. Add seats once the first ads ship.

Brand risk at scale

Today

More people making more ads means more chances for wrong fonts, wrong claims and off-brand edits.

With Solid

Brand rules live in the Brand Hub, not in people. Every version can require approval on the frame before export.

Unclear ROI

Today

Production spend grows, but nobody can say what one usable ad costs.

With Solid

Fixed plans by brand and ad volume, so the cost per finished ad is clear from day one.

In their words

What CMOs and marketing leads told us, and how Solid helps

Resources

Often it is simply a resource problem, or a process problem.

If you are switching

Switching to Solid from the tools you use today

Why CMOs and marketing leads move to Solid from agency retainers, hiring more editors, a stack of point tools and more, what they gain, and how to switch.

Switch guide

Switching from agency retainers to Solid

Why teams switch

Retainers grow with every market and channel, the footage and the know-how stay with the agency, and iteration speed depends on someone else’s capacity.

How to switch

Start with one market or product line in Solid and compare cost and speed per ad after two weeks.

What you gain with Solid

  • Iteration in-house, agencies for shoots and creators
  • Own your footage and every edit
  • Clear cost per finished ad
  • Scale markets without scaling the retainer
Switch guide

Switching from hiring more editors to Solid

Why teams switch

Hiring editors scales cost in a straight line and takes months, and much of their time goes into versions, formats and translations rather than craft.

How to switch

Give your current editor Solid for one sprint and measure output before the next hire.

What you gain with Solid

  • Editors focus on craft, not versions
  • Marketers produce on their own
  • No new seats per market
  • Faster time to the first ads
Switch guide

Switching from a stack of point tools to Solid

Why teams switch

Drive for storage, an editor, a voice tool, a review tool and a translation tool: every handoff costs time, and nobody sees the full picture of what was made and approved.

How to switch

List the tools in your current ad workflow and map each step to Solid in the trial kickoff.

What you gain with Solid

  • Library, brand rules, editing, voice, review and translation in one place
  • One login and one bill per team
  • EU hosting and GDPR
  • Clear approval history per ad

Switch guide

Switching from AI avatar tools like HeyGen to Solid

Why teams switch

AI avatar tools produce presenter videos quickly, but performance ads with synthetic people rarely build a brand, and the footage your team already owns stays unused.

How to switch

Keep avatars for internal or training videos and run paid social ads on Solid.

What you gain with Solid

  • Ads with your real creators and products
  • Generation only where shots are missing
  • Brand Hub and approvals for every ad
  • Built for paid social testing
