How Tec-Do 2.0 boosted engagement by 3x with Creatify’s AI ads

The Challenge

• Cost-Constraints: hiring actors costs approximately 1,000 RMB per day, with additional expenses for directors and shooting venues, making it unsustainable for many projects

• Time-Consuming Process: traditional production required at least 3 days for a batch of videos, including 1 day for scriptwriting, 1 day for shooting, and 1 day for editing. Coordination among directors, actors, and production teams added further delays

• Scaling Challenges: with the increasing demand for multilingual marketing videos, the traditional process was too slow to meet tight deadlines

• Limited Content Diversity: limited by traditional processes and resources, Tec-Do 2.0 struggled to produce diverse, engaging video content; instead, they mainly produced montage videos without an actor

The Integration with Creatify

The team was especially impressed by the realism of Creatify’s AI avatars, notably their accurate lip-syncing. After trying other solutions that fell short, Creatify was the first to meet their standards—proving AI avatars could be a long-term solution.

• Realistic AI Avatars: Creatify's hyper-realistic AI avatars with natural lip-sync and body movement are what Tec-Do 2.0 appreciates the most

• Authentic Voiceovers: Tec-Do 2.0 compared Creatify’s voiceovers with other platforms and thinks Creatify offers a more authentic and natural voiceover

• Multilingual Capabilities: Creatify’s AI ads automatically detect input text languages and deliver outputs in the same language, streamlining multilingual campaigns

The Value of Creatify

By replacing the need for human actors with AI-generated content, the company significantly reduced production costs while avoiding the logistical challenges of coordinating traditional shoots. This shift has resulted in substantial time and resource savings, making Creatify not only a cost-effective solution but also a major efficiency booster for the team.
