Bannerflow's strengths
Bannerflow is genuinely excellent at automating display and banner ad production, including HTML5 banners, rich media, and standard IAB formats. If display advertising is a significant part of your media mix, Bannerflow's specialization is a real advantage.
Bannerflow automates creative production across languages, markets, and campaigns. Translate and adapt ads for multiple markets simultaneously, which is critical for brands running pan-European or global advertising.
Bannerflow supports dynamic creative optimization with real-time data feeds, product feeds, and audience-based personalization for display ads. This real-time personalization at the ad-serving level is something Sovran doesn't replicate.
