Best AI for Marketing Tools


Ad‎Creative


AdCreative is an AI-powered platform that simplifies the process of creating ad creatives for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Google Ads. After spending some time using it, I found it to be a convenient tool that saves time and delivers professional results, though it does have some limitations depending on your goals.

AdCreative is super easy to use. I entered details about my campaign—like the product and target audience—and the tool generated several polished ad designs tailored to different platforms. The designs followed current advertising trends, making them ready to use with only minor adjustments. For someone like me without a design background this tool really opens up a lot of ad options.

I could easily tweak the text, replace images, and add my logo to align the ads with my branding. The interface is intuitive and beginner-friendly, so even with limited design experience, I felt confident editing the outputs.

One feature that stood out was the ability to generate multiple ad variations for A/B testing. AdCreative made it simple to produce different versions of an ad with variations in headlines or visuals. This was a huge time-saver and perfect for campaigns that require constant testing and optimization.

There are some drawbacks. When working with niche products, I noticed the designs sometimes lacked creativity and felt a bit generic. While the tool is great for creating clean, professional-looking ads, it struggles to bring a unique or artistic flair to campaigns that require a more distinctive touch. This may not be an issue for standard e-commerce products, but it’s a limitation for brands looking to stand out with highly original concepts.

Another area where the tool fell short was copywriting. While it provides suggestions for ad headlines and descriptions, the text often felt formulaic and uninspired. I frequently had to rewrite the copy or ask ChatGPT to offer some ideas that better match my brand’s tone and messaging.

AdCreative’s pricing is reasonable for frequent users, starting at $39/month, which is far more affordable than hiring a designer. However, for occasional users, the cost may feel less justified, especially if the outputs require significant manual adjustments.

Clay

Clay is a powerful lead generation platform that simplifies prospecting by automating data collection, enrichment, and scoring. After testing it across multiple campaigns, I found it to be a valuable tool for advanced users, though it comes with a learning curve and isn’t a perfect fit for everyone.

If you’re unsure what Clay does, think of it as a powerful mega-spreadsheet that seamlessly integrates with hundreds of data sources. It allows you to organize all your prospects' information, their details, and the emails you plan to send—all in one place.

To test the platform I tried creating a prospect list by defining parameters like job titles and company size. Clay saved me hours of manual research by returning an enriched dataset with detailed insights. Its lead scoring feature was helpful, enabling me to prioritize high-value leads based on how well they aligned with my campaign objectives.

Be warned, the setup process can be intimidating for less tech-savvy users, and it took me some time to fully grasp how to make the most of its features. The platform can be tricky to navigate, and without proper knowledge, you risk wasting your credits—and by extension, your money.

For those interested, Clay offers a free version for small-scale testing. Its paid plans range from $149 to $800 per month, with higher-tier options providing better savings on credit costs for heavy users.
