Dynamic Creative Optimization with Visual Intelligence
For advertisers running 100+ creative variations. Optimize creative elements in real-time. 28% improvement in ROAS, 40% faster creative iteration.
Performance marketing teams, creative agencies, and brands running large-scale DCO campaigns who need to optimize creative elements automatically
Manual A/B testing cannot keep pace with the combinatorial explosion of creative elements. Teams cannot test all variations, and winning combinations are discovered slowly

Why Mixpeek
28% improvement in ROAS, 40% faster creative iteration, and automatic discovery of winning element combinations
Overview
DCO promises personalization at scale but is limited by testing velocity. This use case shows how Mixpeek accelerates creative optimization through visual intelligence.
Challenges This Solves
Combinatorial Explosion
5 headlines × 5 images × 3 CTAs = 75 combinations
Impact: Cannot test all variations with traditional A/B testing
Slow Learning
Statistical significance requires weeks of data
Impact: Campaign window closes before optimization completes
Element Interaction
Winning elements depend on combination, not isolation
Impact: Best image + best headline may not be best together
Creative Fatigue
Winning creatives degrade over time
Impact: Performance drops without fresh creative
Implementation Steps
Mixpeek analyzes creative elements (headlines, images, CTAs, colors) and their performance to automatically serve optimal combinations and suggest new high-potential variations
Ingest Creative Elements
Analyze all creative components
import { Mixpeek } from 'mixpeek';const client = new Mixpeek({ apiKey: process.env.MIXPEEK_API_KEY });// Analyze creative elements libraryawait client.buckets.connect({collection_id: 'creative-elements',bucket_uri: 's3://creatives/elements/',extractors: ['image-embedding', // Visual similarity'color-analysis', // Color palettes'text-extraction', // Headlines, CTAs'composition-analysis', // Layout, focal points'object-detection', // People, products, props'sentiment-analysis' // Emotional tone],settings: {element_types: ['headline', 'image', 'cta', 'background', 'logo_placement'],track_performance: true}});
Predict Element Combinations
Score potential creative combinations
// Predict performance of element combinationsasync function predictCombination(elements: {headline_id: string;image_id: string;cta_id: string;background_id?: string;}, context: {audience: string;platform: string;placement: string;}) {const prediction = await client.dco.predictCombination({elements: elements,context: context,model: 'performance-predictor'});return {predicted_ctr: prediction.ctr,predicted_cvr: prediction.cvr,confidence: prediction.confidence,element_compatibility: prediction.compatibility_score,potential_issues: prediction.warnings // e.g., "low contrast CTA"};}
Optimize Serving in Real-Time
Serve optimal combinations based on context
// Get optimal creative for impressionasync function getOptimalCreative(request: {campaign_id: string;user_signals: object;platform: string;placement: string;}) {const optimal = await client.dco.getOptimal({campaign_id: request.campaign_id,context: {user: request.user_signals,platform: request.platform,placement: request.placement},strategy: 'thompson_sampling', // Explore vs exploitconstraints: {frequency_cap: true,brand_safety: true}});return {creative_id: optimal.combination_id,elements: {headline: optimal.headline,image_url: optimal.image,cta: optimal.cta},expected_ctr: optimal.expected_ctr,exploration_flag: optimal.is_exploration};}
Generate New Variations
Suggest high-potential new elements
// Get suggestions for new creative elementsasync function suggestNewElements(campaignId: string) {const analysis = await client.dco.analyzePerformance({campaign_id: campaignId,lookback_days: 14});const suggestions = await client.dco.suggestElements({campaign_id: campaignId,top_performers: analysis.winning_elements,gaps: analysis.underperforming_segments,suggestions_per_type: 3});return {headline_suggestions: suggestions.headlines.map(h => ({text: h.suggested_text,rationale: h.rationale,predicted_improvement: h.expected_lift})),image_suggestions: suggestions.images.map(i => ({brief: i.image_brief,visual_attributes: i.target_attributes,rationale: i.rationale})),cta_suggestions: suggestions.ctas};}
