About
We are Paintgun, a full-service ad creative agency powered by AI creative analysis. We're on a mission to build the creative data platform for performance marketers. Our AI software is designed for marketers in high-growth environments, enabling them to scale ad creatives faster and smarter. It all started when our founder, Elco Ian, established a performance marketing agency in London back in 2017. After successfully guiding a client with a significant monthly ad budget from series A to B, it became clear that creative strategy held more weight than just media buying skills. This realization was a turning point for us. Our journey led us to partner with leading US-based mobile apps managing 7-figure monthly ad budgets. Over time, we evolved into the performance creative agency we are today, now headquartered in Berlin, with a laser focus on ad creatives and the invaluable data they hold. We leverage proprietary data models and large language models (LLMs) to meticulously label and analyze ad creatives, providing detailed insights that drive results. Our platform seamlessly integrates with major ad networks like Meta, TikTok, Google, and LinkedIn, offering comprehensive ad creative reports filled with statistical and actionable insights. We're passionate about helping brands lower their Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC), iterate on creative concepts with 10x speed using AI, ship more creatives with a 3x faster turnaround, and ensure everything is 100% brand and legal approved. We believe in creating ads that feel real – authentic performance marketing videos, user-generated content (UGC) creative, professional film production, and tapping into the latest TikTok trends. As a company, we also believe in making a positive impact beyond marketing; that's why we're committed to contributing 7% of our revenue to giving back. We're excited to work with talented creatives and innovative brands to reshape the future of digital advertising.
