Great timesaver

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: Overall I'm really satisfied with the tool and believe it's worth every penny.

Pros:

What I like most about the product is the fact that the tool does what it's promised. After a short period of practising the tool, I'm now able to build a full banner set within one hour. The short learning curve has a lot to do with the tool being very intuitive, which I like a lot. Furthermore, I like the process of adjusting the banners after some feedback, since I don't have to go back and forth with my previous banner supplier. This saves a lot of time. Also less feedback is necessary since there are fewer mistakes caused by interpretation when sending the feedback trough to the banner supplier.

Cons:

Sometimes it has a few bugs, but the support team responds quickly to either resolve the bug or offer a workaround so I can finish the banner.

Bannerwise user for +/- 4 months

1.0 6 years ago

Pros:

It's an easy to learn tool for companies. Quick helpdesk function but if you need to use it on a daily base...yeah isn't that promising.

Cons:

After +/- 4 Months of working in this tool, none of the issues the tool had got fixed. It takes me actually longer to work in this tool than in photoshop while this tool is supporting the fast solution compared to photoshop. I can not recommend this tool as with all there releases new bugs are popping up..

Leaps and bounds better than competitors!

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: The cost savings is huge. Not to mention the time it takes. Having a creative designer turn around with a basic set of creatives takes a minimum of a week Bannerwise is amazing in this regard. We can get things done within a day, and with multiple sets - thanks to their feature that allows you to copy the design to a new size.

Pros:

It's super easy to get started. Whenever there's a new media buyer starting on the team, they realize that waiting for creatives to be developed can sometimes be detrimental. With some clients whose needs change often, quarterly planning goes out the window. It's at this time when there's a realization that a tool can belt out creatives much faster, especially simple ones.

Cons:

Lack of built in common fonts. Don't get me wrong; they have an integration with Google Fonts, but having some built in, common fonts is a great thing. It allows us to conceptualize creatives much sooner without needing to get approvals, or a major thought process going. But this isn't a dent in the experience whatsover. It's just easier to have these common fonts than not.

Meeting large ad demands with fewer resources

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Bannerwise is a very convenient tool if you are dealing with large quantities of ads. It is easy to build your own templates and reuse them to create ads in different languages or new versions.

Overall, I would recommend this tool to anyone who requires a scaling solution for ad creation!

Building advanced creatives without a developer

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Bannerwise lets us focus on performance and spend much less time and thought on the ad creation process! In the past, ad creation was always time-consuming and expensive. Bannerwise made this process significantly easier and manageable for a small team with no coding knowledge. It lets you build the creatives you want to have inhouse and gives you the time and resources to focus on what really matters. Performance!

Pros:

You can build custom dynamic creatives without for a range of different networks without the need for a developer to set this up! Instead of using a generic dynamic template, our designer was able to build a custom dynamic ad that matches our brand guidelines with no need for coding knowledge! Whether its building dynamic ads, HTML5 ads, or social ads, Bannerwise makes it possible in an easy and efficient manner.

Cons:

The dynamic option is great as is but could be enhanced by features like ruling options.

Able to create animated HTML5 ads with no coding know-how

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: The tool is quick to pick up and easy to use even for someone with no previous experience. Everything is drag and drop in a simple interface. If you still have questions, their support team will answer any question you have.

Pros:

Bannerwise is set up to be very user-friendly! The team took the time to sit down with me and give me a brief 30-minute demo of how to create an HTML5 video ad. Even with no previous knowledge about HTML5 or animations, I was able to create the ad that I needed. The support is outstanding and they will take the time to explain and teach you everything you need to know to get started with a smooth experience. If you run into any trouble there is always someone you can reach out to and get a quick response.

Cons:

Pricing is a bit steep but it pays if you have a lot of projects!

A huge timesaver - best tool to create high quality banners & shorten production time

4.0 5 years ago

Pros:

Everything. As a marketer that usually has to do everything when creating digital ads (strategy, campaigns setup, and analysis, creatives design...), Bannerwise empowers me to create dynamic, animated and attractive content in a fast and easy way. The builder gives me the freedom to build beautiful banners super easily (including eye-catching HTML5 animations) and their algorithm to resize the banners' into multiple formats is a HUGE time saver. I also love their animated templates! Another point that I like is that they have a lot of export options - so I can adapt the file export to the requirements of each of my publishers. The platform also offers a good way to organize creatives - including a handy way to manage banners translations in multiple languages. In short: a real game-changer for my visual ads creation and for my team.

Cons:

The tool can get a bit slow in some browsers, and sometimes I miss some features such as being able to crop images or add extra elements to multiple banner formats at the same time. But overall even when experiencing issues, the online chat service responds very fast !

User-friendly online tool for HTML5 banners

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: With our online marketing agency we have been using Bannerwise with great pleasure for several years. The online tool enables us to develop the most diverse banner sets for customers in a short time. The platform is very user-friendly, even for people who do not have a graphical background. The advertising market is constantly evolving and it is striking that Bannerwise follows these developments closely and often even takes the lead in these developments. In addition, the support that they provide is excellent to me. There have been some bugs in the past, but the support team always responds adequately.

Pros:

User-friendly and intuitive online tool that enables us to develop HTML5 banners for use on different advertising platforms in a short time. In addition, the support department is excellent.

Cons:

There have been some bugs at the start of our collaboration, but the support team always responds adequately and solution-focused.

Saving time and cost

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: We are able to create a professional-looking HTML5 ad sets from scratch way faster than before for platforms like Adform, Google Ads and DoubleClick. Picking up this tool gave us the opportunity to explore A/B testing for our clients and reduce the cost of production to take on more projects of clients with smaller budgets. Using Bannerwise cut out the need to involve a developer for the creation process and lets us focus our resources in the most cost-effective manner possible.

Pros:

The tool is incredibly easy and fast to use. One designer has the possibility to complete multiple projects and even has time to create A/B tests. Since Bannerwise aids us in the creation of additional ad sizes, we are able to take a larger quantity of client projects and are able to deliver on more complicated requests like custom dynamic ads!

Cons:

The algorithm that helps you generate additional sizes is not perfect but is a big step up from creating a size from scratch.

Bannerwise enabled us to bring digital ad production in-house

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Great product! Saves a lot of time and gives you full control of the digital advertising production process.

Pros:

Bannerwise is the perfect solution to scale your digital ad production. In the past, we worked together with several external parties. Because of the fact we focus more on digital advertising and the fact we want to be relevant for the several target audiences we are reaching out to so we need to find a way to scale. By making use of custom, branded-templates we are able to publish new ad sets in a matter of minutes.

Cons:

For us, it would be nice if we could disable or hide some functionalities so for example templates can’t be edited or publish option is disabled.

Pros:

With this software you can easily create graphical ads for a wide variety of ad networks (Google Display Network, Facebook, etc.).

The ads are automatically created in the different graphical sizes tailored to the chosen network.

Cons:

The user interface can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning. Changing the animations / graphics can sometimes be a bit tedious.

Comments: When I need new banneres I always use bannerwise to make professional banners and save time. I Recommend this tool to everyone.

Pros:

It's great that it's possible to make my own banners as an online marketeer. You don't need a designer anymore. Also the possibility to easily add effects to banners and edit multiple banners at once. Also customer support answers fast.

Cons:

Didn't find any cons yet. It takes around 15 minutes to understand the software but that's not really a con.
