Paid Social Ads

More ad variations from footage you already have

Produce ad creative at the volume performance teams need without a design request per variation. One locked template becomes every placement size, every headline test, and every market’s language. Video ads get cut, captioned, and reframed in the same editor your organic team uses.

How Slate does it

  • Ask Rio to repurpose video as an ad, with variations

    “Make a 15-second vertical version with captions.” Rio edits your real footage on a real timeline, in your brand.

  • Repurpose organic social to ad creative

    Take the raw content and projects the organic social team is working on and quickly drop in ad-friendly calls to action. Make endless variations using AI.

  • One template, every placement

    Build the ad once in a locked template and fill feed, story, vertical, and custom sizes in minutes instead of a design round per size.

  • Variations without drift

    Swap headlines, offers, and imagery across dozens of versions while logos, type, and layout stay exactly where brand put them.

More on paid social ads with Slate

  • How do teams make paid social creative in Slate?
    Designers build the ad as a locked template. Performance marketers fill it with each headline, offer, image, or language, export every placement size, and upload to the ads platform. Video ads are cut, captioned, and reframed in Creation Studio.
  • Does Slate run or report on ads?
    No. Slate makes the creative. Media buying, testing, and reporting stay in your ads platform. What Slate changes is how fast and how consistently the variations get made.
  • Can paid creative stay on brand across agencies and regions?
    Yes. Templates lock the brand layers, presets replace freehand styling, and permission levels decide who can change the system versus who can only fill it.
  • Is the music licensed for ads?
    Slate’s library is licensed for digital use. Check the terms for your specific paid placement, or upload tracks your brand already owns.
