Connected Stories

The next-generation Creative Management Platform powered by AI.

Active · Fund I

Connected-Stories is the first and only Creative Management Platform built for video advertising, with full dynamic creative optimization (DCO) capabilities. Its platform uses a patented model powered by AI to build interactive creatives in real time, delivering more compelling video ads.

While DCO technology is routinely applied to standard display ads, Connected-Stories is the first cloud-native DCO technology purpose-built for video advertising, with support for all existing ad formats and tools to innovate new ones. Video advertising now represents more than half of all US programmatic media spend.

Launched in 2016 with offices in New York, Rome, and Milan, Connected-Stories works with Dentsu, Omnicom, Havas, McDonald's, Audi, Mercedes, Bacardi, AT&T, and Sky Broadcasting.

We believe it's crucial for the industry to address the impending market shakeup by finally putting technology at the center of the most important aspect of overall marketing strategy: the creative execution.
