Google announced that they are rolling out their Ads Creative Studio tool globally to all users. Earlier this year, they had launched it under a testing mode, and we reported it in our news bulletin. This is a very useful tool,especially for the creative team that produces your ad assets in your church or your ministry.Now, what they can do is, they can use this tool to streamline their workflow, to collaborate with each other. In fact, there is a very useful feature called ‘Swappables’ where you can select, for example, let’s say you have a video, a YouTube video or something, where you have an image or your text and you want to replace that with other variations, during the creative process. For example, your video can have this image or that image, in the versions one and two, and you can mark the image, text and sound as ‘swappables’. And this tool will automate the process and make it easier for you. So, quite a useful tool.Do pass this on to your advertising team.
