Company information
The facts on file
- Description
- The Brief is the rebranded Creatopy, an ads automation platform that in October 2025 relaunched as an agent-based "AI agency" covering research, ad creation, publishing and optimization. It centres on an Ad Studio for bulk design, animation and multi-format resizing (with PSD and Figma import) plus four agents — Create, Inspire, Launch and Optimize. It is aimed at in-house marketing/creative teams and agencies shipping high variant counts of display and social ads, and skews small-business on G2 (63.2%).

- Pricing
- Not published — vendor pricing page could not be verified; third parties conflict ($29/mo vs $36/mo entry) · free tier: 7-day free trial, no credit card required per G2 pricing copy (which predates the rebrand and is contradicted by third-party reports of heavily locked exports and AI tools) pricing page ↗
- Regulatory
- US-incorporated with Romanian R&D, implying EU staff and GDPR exposure, but no DPA terms, sub-processor list, SOC 2 or ISO certification could be verified from a primary source. A third party claims the Enterprise tier includes SSO and "advanced certifications" without naming them. No licensing or regulatory filings located; output ownership and AI training opt-out terms unverified.
