Ad-Lib.io, a Smartly.io company and a leading next-generation Creative Management Platform (CMP), announced today the release of the next generation of Personalize™, Ad-Lib.io’s award-winning cookieless platform for creative management, media alignment and creative intelligence all in one place. Personalize 2.0 delivers breakthrough capabilities to accelerate and scale campaign activation while ensuring brand governance and improved campaign addressability cross-channel.

As a result of these advances, advertisers are experiencing a range of ROAS benefits, including:

  • 28% reduction in time required to link media and creative strategies in a single digital workspace,
  • 4x faster campaign builds with on-brand assets, published and approved automatically,
  • 85% fewer clicks to build personalized variants for every audience in their media plan, and
  • Up to a week’s advance notice prior to the onset of campaign fatigue, thanks to AI-driven modeling, along with the creative data insights to tune performance at the variant level.

“Scaling campaigns significantly while comfortably reducing production time has been simply delightful,” said Barbara Piras, Group Head of Digital Marketing at TUI Group. Adding Ad-Lib.io’s technology to our marketing workflow has opened a new world of creative possibilities I’m excited to explore in the future.

“Our hyperlocal marketing strategy has been instrumental to our success, and Ad-Lib.io is a key partner in helping us scale our reach and creative effectiveness in record time,” said Dean Weaving, Director of Brand Media Operations at Deliveroo. “Their platform has brought our creative and media teams together at a high level of collaboration and coordination, time and time again. We look forward to continuing our work, leveraging their platform, to bring the same relevant, on-target advertising to a multitude of highly differentiated localities.”

“According to a recent WBR Insights survey, only 10% of advertisers felt that their creative and media teams were aligned. This disconnect leads to a number of inefficiencies and sub-optimal results, and it is a core challenge addressed by our platform,” said Oli Marlow Thomas, Ad-Lib.io Founder. “Our goal is to transform the creative production process into one that is easier, faster, more collaborative, data-advised and better aligned to media strategies.”

With Personalize 2.0, advertisers can now execute multi-market activations across channels in fewer steps, integrate with leading media platforms to instantly pull in target audiences and publish approved creatives while reducing the risk of creative rejection. Advertisers can also build targeted creative campaigns and test and learn strategies at scale in minutes, across display, video and social. AI can be leveraged at every step along the way, from asset cropping for quick and easy image editing across channels and formats, to fatigue alerts to prevent premature decline in campaign performance. Best of all, in-line performance reporting reduces the campaign optimization effort to just a few clicks.

Personalize 2.0 is immediately available. Click here for more information on Ad-Lib.io and the Smartly.io family of creative effectiveness capabilities.

Exein Unveils Next-Generation Runtime Security to Protect the AI-Native World23.3.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release

Exein, the global leader in runtime cybersecurity, today unveiled Photon, a preemptive breakthrough solution that blocks cyberattacks at the point of execution. Designed for the AI-native world - where digital and physical systems are now inseparable - Photon marks a fundamental shift in how critical infrastructure protects itself. Unlike traditional cybersecurity solutions that detect threats after compromise - typically operating in user space and relying on a cloud network - Exein’s Photon operates directly inside the kernel, preventing malicious execution paths before they can run. By blocking attacks before the point of execution, the technology dramatically reduces latency and eliminates entire classes of threats before damage occurs.
