Raising the bar with every sale: Top online marketplaces that stay sale-ready with agile CreativeOps

For online marketplaces and ecommerce companies, driving big sales across different categories is crucial for the platform’s success. A single sale event involves multiple aspects that need to be smoothly orchestrated – website traffic, new ads, new pages, new products, trade discounts, promotions and outreach and more. Amidst these requirements, platforms need to ensure that content is swiftly created and launched, all while staying on-brand. This applies to millions of creatives and banners for different product catalogs, with offers and discounts changing by the day, or even the hour! Such a massive scale of business requires a creative operations engine that can quickly push out product visuals and creatives. These challenges become multifold during seasonal sale events and holidays when platform shoppers increase drastically. 

Here’s where online marketplaces need to develop elastic scalability, or the potential to scale up creative operations as and when required. This is possible only by automating everything about their creative processes – right from visual production to approval processes to creative refresh.  An agile CreativeOps platform like Rocketium becomes crucial in enabling online retailers keep up with the speed and scale of their campaigns.
