Campaign Videos from Scratch

If you’re starting from a campaign brief or half-baked ad copy, Pictory can work with that too .

Inputs that work:

  • Campaign briefs (Pictory analyzes text and structure to form the basis of your video script) 
  • Half-baked ad copy (take initial concepts, rough taglines, or partial scripts and use them as the foundation) 
  • Docs, URLs, or existing videos (paste a link with the Chrome extension, or upload a file) 

🔑 Key Features for Marketing Teams

1. Brand Kits for Consistency

Before generating videos at scale, create a Brand Kit so every asset matches your organization’s standards for fonts, colors, and logos .

Steps:

  1. Open Brand Kits from the left navigation
  2. Select “Create a Brand” and add:
    • Brand Name
    • Brand Logo (upload variations)
    • Brand Colors (set primary and secondary)
    • Brand Font (choose from Pictory’s font library)

Result: Every video automatically uses your approved brand assets—no manual formatting needed .

With Pictory Central, add clickable CTAs, product links, and chapters right inside the video. Viewers don’t need a landing page redirect—they click straight through to your offer .
