5 recommended tools

Step-by-Step Workflow

AI-assisted workflow from campaign goal to launched ad

1

Define your offer, audience segment, and creative hypothesis yourself first — AI multiplies ideas, it doesn't invent a strategy

2

For TikTok: draft a campaign brief and find matching creator content with Symphony Agent

3

For LinkedIn: lock in your brand kit, then generate ad copy and variants with Draft with AI

4

For Google Ads: connect existing customer/email data through ActiveCampaign's Active Intelligence and propose a first Performance Max campaign

5

Rough out image variations fast with Nano Banana 2 Lite, then polish the winner in Canva AI or a higher-fidelity image tool

6

Set budget caps and conversion tracking before launch, then treat the first run as a controlled experiment
