Background

ITV GenAI Ads Manager is a managed advertising service that uses generative AI to turn a business’s existing material into television creative. It draws on content such as the advertiser’s website and social pages. Magnite’s streamr.ai supplies the technology, while ITV’s commercial creative team works with the advertiser on the production. The intended customers include smaller businesses seeking to advertise on television. [ITV launch announcement](https://www.itv.com/presscentre/print/pdf/node/50871).

The service combines software with human oversight and broadcast approval. Generated adverts require Clearcast clearance before transmission, and the offer supports ITV’s broadcast channels and streaming platforms. This production arrangement matters when describing what customers buy: the service includes a managed creative process, with the broadcaster’s team involved in preparing advertising for its services.
