Comcast Advertising is partnering with Waymark
to offer creative production for clients to remove barriers and
give advertisers access to premium TV audiences.
Today, Comcast Advertising, the advertising division of Comcast,
announced a brand-new AI creative platform that gives brands an
easy way to build TV-grade ads to reach audiences across the
premium TV ecosystem. This platform is powered by a partnership
with Waymark, a pioneer in using artificial intelligence to scale
up video production. With this platform, advertisers can quickly
build creative without the time or cost usually associated with TV
commercial production.

“Making media buying easy and impactful is a core mission across
Comcast Advertising’s portfolio,” says Dawn Williamson, Chief
Revenue Officer, Media Solutions. “Thanks to our Waymark
partnership, we are excited to extend this mission directly to our
Media Solutions offering. Advertisers now have a fast and
affordable way to build TV-ready ads for delivery across news,
entertainment, live sports, and other premium video
destinations.”
TV advertising is one of the most effective ways to reach
massive audiences, but brands often cite the time and cost of
commercial production as their biggest obstacle to investing in TV
ads. By simply entering the brand’s website, the platform will scan
the web and generate a commercial that can be adjusted in a variety
of ways including messaging, graphics, voiceover styles, and even
language, to create the perfect ad. In addition, brands can create
seasonable varieties or tailored ads for new audience segments by
modifying existing creative via this platform, giving them
flexibility like never before.
“Our collaboration with Comcast Advertising's Media Solutions
marks a major leap forward in using AI technology to enhance
accessibility and drive the evolution of TV advertising. AI is
helping advertisers reach new potential, and the ability to create
effective, high-quality video ads in minutes is a powerful shift.
Combined with access to premium inventory, it gives businesses of
all sizes the creative edge they need to compete on TV,” says
Hayden Gilmer, Vice President of Revenue, Waymark.
In the short time since this solution has been made available to
Comcast Advertising advertisers, thousands of new video creatives
have been built for advertisers, many of whom are new to
multi-screen TV.
“The process was insanely easy, and the finished product was
better than anything I could have done. The ad that the AI tool put
together was great at drawing your attention without going
overboard,” says Melissa Cowan, Head of Marketing and Advertising
at Metal Roofing Supply in Little Rock, Arkansas.
"At MD Contractors, Fences, Decks & Patios, our mission is
to build the outdoor oasis of your dreams," say owners Jairo and
Josselin at MD Contractors, Fences, Decks & Patios LLC. "Being
able to illustrate what we can offer clients is crucial to our
business, so being able to easily build TV ads with Comcast has
been a gamechanger for us."
"When we opened a new store location, we wanted to get the news
to as many people as possible but the time and investment to make a
commercial made TV felt out of reach," says Bill Gray, Owner at
Atlantic Coast Appliance. "Comcast made it so easy for us and we
were airing in market before we knew it, and can't wait to do
more."
Waymark was introduced to Comcast through LIFT Labs, a Comcast
NBCUniversal program that connects strategically relevant startups
with internal teams to explore partnerships that inform strategy,
impact operations, and transform products and experiences.
This new platform launches as Comcast Advertising recently
introduced a new Media Solutions team focused on amplifying and
simplifying advertiser’s access to the performance power of Comcast
media assets. The Media Solutions team will offer one point of
entry for our expanded set of advertising assets, so whether local
or national, traditional TV, streaming, or multiscreen, buyers can
select specific media or bundle them to find the right solution for
their businesses.
